Scobleizer / Microsoft Geek Blogger:
Google domains going after Outlook?  MSN did that months ago...  What's funny with this headline that I see over on Memeorandum is that MSN has been doing pretty much the exact same thing for months now (and has not one, but more than 20 colleges/universities signed up according to Adam Sohn, director of PR guy for MSN).

Thou dost protest too much, Robert  —  The Scobleizer is more than a tad upset that everyone is so excited by Google's hosted Gmail project (he calls some of the posts "rewritten press releases") and complains that no one is giving Microsoft any love, despite the fact that its Live domain project …
Paul Kedrosky's Infectious Greed:
Scoble, Your Mind is Calling.  It Wants to Come Home.  —  Robert Scoble — "Microsoft's kept blogger", to use Nick Carr's apt phrase — rages that the reason why Google's Gmail for Domains got a nice mention here yesterday was because I run Adsense ads.  That is, in a word, nuts.

Northern Voice, enthusiasts in charge  —  I like Northern Voice.  Why?  Cause the enthusiasts are in charge.  The photo session I attended was very interesting because it was led by a guy who loves photography.  Same for the session on podcasting that I attended.
Goodroi / Marketing and Technology Discussed:
