Two quick blogger plugs worth mentioning:
John Battelle has the second excerpt from his upcoming book live on his site in a post titled Google Goes Public. It’s a look at the years up to Google’s IPO announcement and contains some interesting anecdotes about the company’s co-founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Battelle’s book isn’t due out til September, but if you’re interested in ordering an advance copy, go here.
Guest blogging for free culture advocate Lawrence Lessig is Hilary Rosen, former President and CEO of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Her inaugural entry is already generating some rousing discussion in the comments section. Joi Ito has more.
BTW, if you’ve never heard Jon Lovitz host “Plug Away”, a fake celebrity talk show on SNL, check it out now.
Bush i have lost my respect for it what he
has done to the middle class and the rest of this country. Bush has given this country away to the Mexican government and sold us for dirt cheap. that he has been in bed with the arabs for oil profits with cheney! my children generation and my grandkids are the ones who will suffer for it. what becomes of this One Nation Under God? for the people and by the people disappear? it will be one americanos under cheap labor and no rights. we will lose the constitution and the preamble. your rights as mine are going down the drain. we will soon be one nation under a dictatorship and we won’t be able to do anything about it. we will have been so passive we gave away all and left nothing for our children or our grandchildren. we only have ourselves to blame unless we vote for a woman who will use her conscience for the people. let it be Hillary Clinton now before we lose this country. she will be the one who will try to bring us back to what it was and she has backbone. we put family and country first. we don’t put our enemies first and we are very good at spending our economy much better since we have to budget for the family. let’s give Hillary the chance she deserves while we have the chance. it is our last chance America!!!
