Memeorandum gets more hype and new feature
TechCrunch has links to a new Wired article that hypes up Memeorandum and a new feature released today too. It deserves the hype. I, too, check it a lot of times per day. But, I do find that I’m falling into the Memeorandum trap: only thinking about stuff that shows up on Memeorandum. That’s one of the reasons I was light on blogging this week. I wanted to get outside of the Memeorandum world and find some new stuff.
Speaking of which, the latest builds of Windows Vista that are showing up are really getting me excited. New features are showing up with every build. This is a fun time to be a Microsoft employee. I just wish I had more time to play. Oh, and there’s a famous guitarist (I don’t know that it’s my place to give his name away) recording the sounds right now that will play on Windows Vista. They invited me over to film, but I have to run to the airport. Damn, damn, damn. Charles is headed over there instead.

Are you referring to Jim Allchin? Is he going record the new startup sounds for Vista?

Heh Andre…that would be quite interesting actually. :)

:) It better be someone like Joe Satriani or Steve Vai or Eddie Van Halen and NOT Jim Allchin :)

I too found that Memeorandum is in a way ‘limited’. It shows the general important trends, but misses the diamonds in niche blogs. I for example am interested in the Point Of Sale market, and know that Memeorandum won’t include news about that, since it is not sexy enough to be picked up by many people.

Windows Vista? Oh yes the OS that requires 2Gb of RAM. It’s the best thing that ever happened (to Apple).

[...] A little touch of Scoble, I thought, would get us back in the mood for Windows Vista. Here he is on his new blog getting very excited about … well … Windows Vista. I know, it’s hardly “hold the front page” stuff, but it’s very reassuring just the same : … the latest builds of Windows Vista that are showing up are really getting me excited.

Oh that’s just robert. If he can’t remind everyone of how he’s so l33t with all his super-dooper 1n$1der kn0w13dg3 that us l2merz will never have, then his whole day is suxx0rz.
It’s like his powder - puff interviews. You don’t watch them because you seriously expect him to ask insightful, or even incisive questions. You watch them because the subjects may, of their own will, talk about something worth listening to. Otherwise it’s all “WOW! THIS IS SO KEWL! MS ROCKS! WINDOWS ROCKS!” Although not so good for interview content, it is handy if he wants to do the next Michael Jackson interview.
Robert simply is incapable of really grasping the idea of confidentiality at anything higher than the penis - waving level.

I’m guessing Trevor Rabin. (Didn’t he do some sounds for the Mac at one point?)

David: that’s not true at all, but glad to see that the anti-Microsoft crowd is capable of providing its own FUD.

“The Memeorandum trap”: Yep, this is definitely “popular stuff getting even more popular”! ;-)

Well, FUD is one of Microsoft’s greatest strengths, so of course the rest of the world follows them.

I’m guessing along the lines of Steve Vai and those fellows, Steve did the halo sounds ya know.
