Nothing Ever Happens

Twitter, the fledgling microblogging service, is evolving into a social media powerhouse to rival giants like Facebook. The San Francisco-based Twitter, which appears to be aiming for a new round of funding, is starting an “experimental” advertising program on its site in Japan.

eMarketer is revising its U.S. social network ad spending forecast, projecting that advertisers will spend $1.4 billion to place ads on online social networks this year, down from a previous projection of $1.6 billion. The change is due in part to a lack of successful ad models.

POZOR!

Danes sem v Mercatorjevi trgovini po dolgem času spet kupil kefir proizvajalca Kele (Krepko). Kefir mojega najljubšega hrvaškega proizvajalca je namreč že pošel. Kupil sem 3 lončke. Nemalo sem bil začuden, ko je dveletni sin s slamico preluknjal aluminijasti pokrovček lončka kefirja Krepko, da bi skozenj pil kefir, njegov najljubši mlečni proizvod, a se je samo močno nakremžil. Medtem pa sem sam že odprl svoj, drugi lonček kefirja Krepko.

ZGROŽEN sem zagledal sivo obarvani kefir Krepko, s črnimi zrni. Ko sem povonjal kefir Krepko, sem takoj uganil okus čiste nafte. ?!? Takoj sem odrinil sinčka, odprl še njegov lonček kefirja Krepko, in našel popolnoma enako presenečenje..(upam) nič ga ni popil.

Klic na inšpektorat ni vrnil (še) nobenega rezultata, večkrat smo poskusili priklicati tudi vodstvo Mlekarne Krepko (podjetje Kele & Kele), da bi se pozanimali o novi oktanski liniji mlečnih izdelkov Krepko, a nismo uspeli priklicati nikogar. Vas bom sproti obveščal- I WILL WIN.

Posreduj mojo zgodbo naprej medijem, svojim prijateljem, družini in sodelavcem.

P.S. Zanimivo, da je ob astronomsko visokih cenah nafte okus po nafti dosegel tudi tako množične izdelke kot je kefir Krepko, cena kefirja Krepko Nafta pa se sploh ne razlikuje od cen ostalih kefirjev.

MySpace, Facebook and Google are announcing similar-sounding moves over the past week to open up their sites to external applications. The moves suggest that social-media tools and services will spread throughout the Web, say observers. Social networks will be “like air.”

As television, newspapers and other media are digitized and move to the Internet, Google’s advertising system will become the financial platform on which many of these businesses depend, according to industry observers. Google is “sitting on a goldmine.” Its momentum “seems unstoppable.”

Please, take some time to see the movie Eartlings. Named Best documentary film of the Year.

At moments quite hard to watch (if you are sensitive to animal violence) but you have to get through it- and determine for yourself how you want to make a change. AND You have to: if the world keeps going like this, our days and those of our next generations will be much more sad..

EARTHLINGS is a feature length documentary about humanity’s absolute dependence on animals (for pets, food, clothing, entertainment, and scientific research). The film is narrated by Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix (GLADIATOR). With an in-depth study into pet stores, puppy mills and animals shelters, as well as factory farms, the leather and fur trades, sports and entertainment industries, and finally the medical and scientific profession, EARTHLINGS uses hidden cameras and never before seen footage to chronicle the day-to-day practices of some of the largest industries in the world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit. Powerful, informative and thought-provoking, EARTHLINGS is by far the most comprehensive documentary ever produced on the correlation between nature, animals, and human economic interests. There are many worthy animal rights films available, but this one transcends the setting. EARTHLINGS cries to be seen.

Watch Earthlings.

For those of you who missed Pangea Day (and don’t want to take 4 hours to watch through it all), Patrick De Laive has a comprehensive overview and a list of the best films. Thx Patrick!

Jun, my son is going to turn 2 in May. The perception of Time is really impenetrable by consciousness- it seems only yesterday when the new life put a completely new perspective on my existing life.

Jun is an incredible boy: exactly knows what he wants in any moment in time + endless energy + shameless performer = make for a really challenging person to live with and especially trying to be a parent of. I admire him and he’s my biggest source of inspiration and energy.

Of course he misses his dad entrepreneur/activist and has therefore invented creative ways of communicating that to me. One of them would be his incredible capacity of learning by imitating me combined with his cynical edge. He takes my objects of work (laptop, cell, cards, usb…) at the very moment when I use them and turns them into his objects of desire and humor, walking around with them, imitating me and making fun of me (and refusing to return them!). Seeing me embarrassed makes him always laugh out loud. I have no other chance but to feel like a jerk, and get more real. And love him more.
