While I’m a little more excited by Lil’Wayne live streaming first track on his new Rebirth album (the last1 ‘Tha Carter III’ killed it) thx2 AT+T onto his Facebook Page - not to mention the new Facebook advertiser engagement polls - it’s interesting to see traditional brands like Coca-Cola, that being low involvement high volume FMCG “brands” and thus not very Google SEO centric, to see Coke the #2 Facebook fan page (at business school they taught us Coke competes against water, well Obama is #1 to Coke #2, so Coke needs to beat Obama to be #1 not water!).. thx2 the new All-Facebook fan page stats that track 620k pages, noice indexing.

Coca Cola All Facebook January 09 Facebook Fan Page Growth
- Masturbation! continues to be a fast growing fan page, currently growing at around 68 percent a day. Be careful though, as that fan page is definitely not safe for work.
- The New York Times received approximately 135,000 new fans to their fan page from their inaugural home page ad campaign.
- The vast majority of the fastest growing fan pages appear to be international.
- Approximately 50,000 over the more than 620,000 fan pages that we’re tracking have over 1,000 fans. That suggests there is a significant long tail among Facebook fan pages.
- There are approximately 276 fan pages with more than 500,000 fans out of the 620,000 that we’re tracking.

Damn it’s a hot one again’ere, the real summer is finally arriving, whats the bet that February when every1 is back at work is corkn hawt. I wouldn’t mind being the in the womb of the ArchDaily featured treehouse below which I’d fill inside, well at least a room of Roid (”Asteroid. Ander - roid. Steroid. polo roid. Hemroid. Disco king. For your health.”) like graffiti via 12oz prophets. The car to roll in ere would be the the McLarenSLR-StirlingMoss which not even Pharrell has Yet or even been shown !
Arch Daily have another Killa TreeHouse : “Tree House sits on a cul-de-sac at the end of a mature subdivision in Wilmington, DE, USA. It is filled with century-old deciduous trees, which form a magnificent canopy 150 feet above the site. A stream runs around the house, and because of certain restrictions of the Army Corps of Engineers and because of the potential for flooding, the buildable area is quite small. This induced us to design a vertical house, with raised Living Room and Master Suite. These spaces give one the feeling of being in the trees.”
So today’s Inauguration Tuesday paper was pictorially full of Tiger Woods, Jamie Foxx, Will Smith and of course Obama. Let’s see what sort of chops O has. The gravity of institutional bias and mediocrity is certainly hard to fight against, or even co-opt so as to affect change within. Let’s hope there is some anti-gravitational body suit that means Obama will be able to create his own little Luna Park Gravitron. Even Hipster RunOff, who is worried about Ponzi Schemes and his American Apparel investment, wish the O-Clan the best in their first podcast.
Not even Pharrell has the MclarenSLR-StirlingMoss Yet ! From the BBC blog : "We didn’t see this when we went to the McLaren factory! What about the bugs? Take it back to the goggles?"
Recommended Viewing :
BTW - Little tip I’d
recommend joining SceneFeed if u want much faster than public download speeds with all latest shows incl below. Sister site of TorrentVault that has closed membership (other than a couple spare invites for VIPs…) So do it before it grows etc.
Get it ere. This show is in the zone, no wonder it is rating thru the roof in US, will it become the new CSI ratings powerhouse downunder, nice work Simon Baker.
It’s ere, Like every1 I luv them, and watching this is better than nearly everything else, but honestly it had a bit of 2nd album blues to it, the first ep of series 2.
As part of my international viewing resolution (by next week I expect to have all my rss/torrents/uploading/isp connections set such that post Australia day weekend, I will have automatic download and alert system for 100 minutes of the best global tv/film delivered within 15 minutes to my desktop ready to watch hehe ideally on my 120″ projector which i just need panasonic hd projector for, oh and a house with wall and money/income/work) : This was great recommended viewing, yer classic British find the bad guys who have abducted 2 young boys as part of an anti-abortion agenda, sounds crappy but its great!
Minova search ere + but i’d use
scenefeed above, spend 2 mins joining for free and getall yer TV files quick, as they also have a
‘freeleech’ launch period so as long as u dont hit-run u dont have too worry too much about ratio… OK back to um unpaid holidays, slash work, or was that new business, cleaning up?, business reengineering, yeah all that, but mostly planning 2009 -
gonna be a different path this year after 4 years of the same trajectory n’all.

I like Tim O’Reilly’s “Live Software” capabilities of Web 2.0. UGC only goes so far : “Again, consider MyBarackObama.com. It definitely harnessed explicit contribution, providing a platform for volunteers to organize and host local calling parties, to blog, or perform other campaign activities. But ultimately, Obama’s ground game–old fashioned precinct-level organizing, amped up to a new level by an army of distributed volunteers armed with mobile phones and coordinated via a web application–was the key to his victory. The “explicit” social media elements of MyBarackObama.com paled in impact compared to the development of a next generation electronic nervous system, in which volunteers were trained, deployed, and managed by a web application who used them, in John McMullen’s memorable phrase, as “souls in the great machine.”"
