McCain on a bad hair day in Time.

A popular subject nowadays in the blogosphere is the interview given by McCain to Times, an interview with, maybe, too much attitude for some observers, cranky for the others and prickly for the Time's reporters.

Interview, transcript and podcast here.

Twitter: anyboby cares? Wallstrip does.

Twitter: does anybody care about what you are doing? Someone does because they received 15 millions recently. Walstripp gives us the last financial news about Twitter.



And, by the way, I personnally do care about your comments on Twitter about the public WiFi networks that you use: cities, bars, restaurants, airports, anywhere.... I add them to one of my blogs: WirelessWebWifiNews.

Google's Traditional Media Blog.

I just discover a Google blog that I did not know about and I am surprised by the topic such as traditional media advertising using Google tools: Traditional Media Ads By Google Blog.

Some things can be useful for everyone, as the response generated ads in traditional QR codes, when complemented by landing pages prepared for a "user offline" may increase even more… or some studies on how dailypapers influence the conduct of users online and some other things as their tools or marketplaces for producing ads, etc..

One way to guide online advertisers in traditional media seems to me interesting.

Jimmy Justice's fight.

The man who calls himself "Jimmy Justice" roams New York with a video camera to find illegally parked government cars. He puts his videos online, trying to shame parking enforcers into obeying laws they ticket others for violating. You can watch his videos on his profile on Youtube. He also has a blog.

"Sometimes it gets ugly out there. In the two years since he began making his videos, Jimmy said, he has been threatened, punched and spit on, and has had cameras smashed to the ground. He said he does not disclose his real name because he fears retaliation by someone whom he has made an unwilling YouTube star.And Jimmy admits that he occasionally crosses the line, sometimes verbally berating traffic enforcers."

The whole story from the Washington Post here.
