Links du jour + Seesmic
Love this Diesel XXX campaign. Bit saucy but it’s very well done
Texting Your way to Love. US is really embracing texting these days. This is quite funny, came from a Stanford blog 
Seesmic – i really want to like them, want to use it but just can’t see why I would. Of course, I may not be the target audience but I just don’t get why i’d want a non-real time video conversation that has so much friction (time to make it, send it, watch someone else’s commets etc…). I think Loic Le Meur is v cool, has bags of energy but I just don’t get it currently….if I want real time then video/phone/IM works, if real time not an issue then I use email, text but video? Help me someone?
Muxtape -a cautionary tale from the digital music world

Shareholder Squabbling & Ice Cream Fights
Just as the news came in that Napster had been sold to Best Buy for $121m, i received this shareholder notice which I have to admit made me chuckle. The description of the dissident group’s experience included Musician (obviously inappropriate experience for a digital music company?), and then Ice Cream Franchisee etc…Hee Hee. On a more serious note, the deal pays $2.65 per share which is twice the closing price but still far below historical positions.
