Nokia is positioning itself as a promoter of social networking, with photo and video sharing and games for users of its cellphones. That is because Nokia predicts that in the next five years, mobile phone users will create 25 percent of the entertainment watched on so-called smartphones, like the iPhone and BlackBerries.

Google Axes Unpopular Applications
“Google announced it will stop supporting several Web-based services, including Google Video, Google Notebook and Dodgeball.com” I suppose SearchWiki replaces notebook (to some degree), but the loss of notebook really threw Ken Shelton for a loop before his Google presentation at CLHS today.

But Noah kept arguing. “These 37signals guys are getting 50 ads a month,” he said, referring to a well-known software company in Chicago. “At $250 each, that’s — “
Wait, I interrupted. They charge $250 for each ad? I had imagined that the going price to run a job listing would be, oh, I don’t know, $4?

But I felt we needed to do something else to express our gratitude. Should we buy Noah an Xbox 360? Pay him a cash bonus? Maybe present him with a certificate of merit, nicely laser-printed on heavyweight bond paper? Or a T-shirt that said “I Invented a Million-Dollar Business and All I Got Was This Lousy T-shirt”? We were stumped.
And what about everybody else at Fog Creek? Those people were doing their jobs, too.

At around the same time Noah came up with the classified ads idea, most of my employees were hard at work developing FogBugz 6.0, a smash hit that just about doubled our monthly sales.

The Geeks Behind Obama’s Web Strategy – The Boston Globe
-
It features such novelties as Cabinet nominees giving YouTube replies to comments posted by average Americans. The extent to which Obama goes on to use the Web — as a portal to release more government data for public consumption, as an instrument for rallying Americans to advance his agenda, and to bypass traditional media — is yet to be seen. But his campaign platform promised Obama would use technology to create “a new level of transparency, accountability, and participation.” When Obama takes the oath
