Social Networks: The Case for a "Pause" Button (45)
on 43 Folders (1981) permalinkJason Kottke (via Rex, via TechCrunch) points to a new feature on FriendFeed that allows users to “fake follow” people: That means you can friend someone but you don’t see their updates. That way, it appears that you’re paying attention to them when you’re really not. Just like everyone does all the time in real life to maintain their sanity. As duplicitous and sad as “fake following” sounds — and let’s be honest: the whole ...Shared by Alan (88) Andrew Trinh (47) Bob Hazlett (46) Brent (23) Daniel Bachhuber (59) Danny (47) dobata (1005) DOCBook Howto (472) Doug (28) emersunn (61) Gregory (22) Inky (47) Jamie (65) Jay (92) Joseph Miller (45) Justin Baum (13) Mads (62) maetl (29) Marc Rudkowski (5) Mario Sundar (66) Martin Gordon (103) Martin Hall (67) Matthew Bischoff (64) Meredith Farkas (69) meta (25) mgalpert (31) Michael Kuhn (14) Mike (50) Mike Ashworth (78) Nils (60) Noah J (31) Parveen (52) pedstrom (38) Peter (62) Randy (94) Rubin (53) Ryan (28) Sam (97) Seth G (166) Shane (118) Stewtopia (38) thornley (59) Todd Mundt (101) Tony (124) Youlay (34)Explore read seven notes

- Shane said: What I wouldn't give for a native, configurable PAUSE on Twitter. Well, I wouldn't give money but the sentiment is the same.
- meta said: "If you need to appear on an Internet list to know you're someone's friend, you may have problems a computer can't solve." Amen to that.
- Ryan said: kind of interesting approach to dealing with overwhelming data from life streaming.
- Stewtopia said: "You can pause your newspaper delivery, and the newspaper never complains. Unfortunately most people online haven’t figured out that they’re just another publisher in a crowded space."Now that, is a good idea.

Quote of the Week: On Multitasking (45)

on Cyclelicious (83) permalinkI don't know how much protection this high impact ABS plastic dog helmet provides, but it sure is cute on the dog.Available from Zoomer Gear.I'd tip my helmet to Alison Chaiken, but left my helmet on the bus and it's gone! I hate it when that happens.Shared by emersunn (61) Gregory (56)Contribute comment

Next Gen 2 Meter (1)
on The Glide Fast Journal (2) permalinkIts been a while since an all wood thermal plane got me excited. There is a new 2 meter plane called the Miles, and its a much needed higher tech replacement of the Gentle Lady class glider. Drela foils, HLG roots, and good looks. The kits have not hit America yet, but a few of the usual companies will carry them soon. They won't be 35 buck kits, but its no old school plane either. ...Shared by emersunn (61)Contribute comment

Ads Are NOT the New Online Tip Jar (10)
on Get Rich Slowly (810) permalinkSeth Godin wrote today that ads are the new online tip jar. “If you like what you’re reading, click an ad to say thanks,” he says. On the surface, this seems like a nice gesture. Underneath, however, it’s a bad idea. When people ask me how they can support Get Rich Slowly, I intentionally steer them clear of clicking on ads. Sure, I get a nickel or a dime or a quarter every time somebody ...Shared by billspaced (111) Bwana (287) danliebke (222) emersunn (61) Heather (204) Jeff (19) Mark Roberts (28) mwsmedia (18) Paul Puri (9) twotwo (37)
- mwsmedia said: More and more, I find myself disagreeing with Seth Godin. Has he changed, or have I?
- billspaced said: I agree with both sides on this one. I don't think Seth was suggesting to willy-nilly click a bunch of ads. If YOU put up ads YOU believe in and find helpful, then your readers might find them useful, too, and if they click and become customers, everybody wins.

Minnehaha Bags — Retro Flavor and Serious Style! (1)
on Bike Commuters (80) permalinkOur friends from Banjo Brothers sent a little tidbit of information our way today. They’re announcing an offshoot company called The Minnehaha Bag Company which will specialize in classic (and classy!) canvas and leather bicycle bags. These bags evoke many of the styling characteristics of classic bike bag makers such as Carradice, Gilles Berthoud and Ostrich…stout canvas and harness-leather strapping. Mmmm, it’s some good-looking stuff. Details are a bit sparse just now, but the Bikecommuters.com ...Shared by emersunn (61)Contribute comment
