(Akita On Rails) * 2.0 / Chatting with Blaine Cook (Twitter)
(Akita On Rails) * 2.0 / Chatting with Blaine Cook (Twitter): "He and Noah Glass (the founder of Odeo) created a small sub-company within Odeo to work on it, in spring 2006. Initially, I hated the idea, mostly because it was intended to be SMS-only. It’s hard to say looking back, but at the time I’d say Twitter was a long shot"
3 Things:
1. Thanks to Blaine for mentioning me regarding my roll in starting Twitter.
2. There were a lot of reasons why he didn't like Twitter when we were starting it. It would have to be said that it was created in a less-than-ideal environment.
3. Blaine is an extremely talented developer...wise beyond his years. I'll never forget that first skype call when I hired him as a contractor, on Rabble's suggestion, many moons ago.

Mein Twitter
The Rise and Fall of Twitter: "At the risk of offending some of you, I am posting this parody video created by Crunchgear’s Nicholas Deleon and his brother Gabriel. Just remember, it’s not about Hitler. It’s about Twitter."
---Very funny! Interestingly, John Biggs makes it a point to say, "It's about Twitter", but as I watched it (while laughing) I wondered if it was more of a commentary on the Twitter user, or more accurately, the heavily addicted Twitter user.
BTW: The origionl title of this parody is "Twitter is down again, Mein Führer"

Not only is this one of the coolest head adornments I've seen in a long time...It might just be one of the cleverest as well. That is, if it is, as I suspect, a reference to the verbose, yet compelling film starring Tom Hanks and "wilson": Castaway.
And if it isn't...a fine piece of work nonetheless.
