Twitter Premium? 

Jason Calacanis is known for stimulating interesting discussion. Today is no different.

He says he'd pay $100 a year for a Twitter that was always fast, almost always up, and had some additional features.

I sent Jason a private email which I'll now repeat here.

Just FYI, because of their API, you don't really need Ev and Biz to do that for you. A bunch of us could pool resources and set up a server of our own, and peer with Twitter's. If Twitter is down it would just queue up the messages, in the meantime, anyone who was on the premium system would see the messages immediately.

Wigglin Spree 

I find this commercial endlessly fascinating. Just love the song. And the dancing. Simple pleasures.

BTW, I've been saying this for years -- why don't companies put their ads on the net? Really high quality versions. They are ads after all, they want us to watch them, right? Or what am I missing?

Apparently it's sung by Ed Robertson of the Barenaked Ladies. Here's an MP3 of the beginning of the song. Some people love the ad (like me) and others hate it.

Okay there's a bit of wiggling on the Jell-o site. Not enough and not the commercial with the kid and the cow.

Another day in the park 

Speaking of simple pleasures...

It was just too lovely to spend much time blogging today.

I don't remember east coast weather as nice as the last two days.

Here are some pictures of turtles in the park for your entertainment.
