For all that attended SXSW, perhaps it’s time to check yourself into a clinic. Or to call your producer friend in LA to get on the next Dr. Drew Celebrity Rehab, The Technorati edition. Not sure? Remember… denial is first stage of addiction and acceptance is the path to recovery. [...]

Despite all the pent up geek-anger at the whole thing, looks like there’s as many folks entertained than really put off by it all.
Wired adds to the Comic Relief:

Ideacity gives us a post-report and simply thought Sarah was a bit blabby.
Wired/Underwire takes a nap during it all, but gives us another good toon.

this is old new, but it’s my new years resolution to dive into rcrdlbl, a free mp3 download service that promotes emerging and mainstream artists. indie rock, electronica and alternative pop are the main genres, but as any good website catering to engaged music fans should be, its all over the map.  [...]

ah yes, gotta love when the tech-geeks get together to name a website…

This new search site entering the biz alongside linkedin and other business directory players is worth watching over the course of 2008. Aggregating openly accessible listings from the web, Spock is a people search engine. This isn’t a new concept but [...]

www.huhcorp.com - a great parody, or ingenious marketing stunt?
