- Grammy Awards partner with CBS for digital experience
- http://gigaom.com/video/grammy-awards-cbs/ | 5 February 2012, 2:01 am
- In these heady two-or-three-screen days, the Grammy Awards has been a classic case study in how social media engagement can pay off ratings-wise. Viewership of the on-air broadcast have increased dramatically since 2009 in younger demographics, with no small amount of credit due to the increasingly elaborate digital campaigns implemented by the Recording Academy.
This year, the main action can be found on Grammy Live, a three-day orgy of live-streaming and social media beginning this Friday and…
- The Phone Stacking Game: Let’s Make This A Thing
- http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/3eRhBdsVbdE/ | 4 February 2012, 8:00 pm
- So it’s Saturday night and you’re out with friend. Are they the inconsiderate jerk who can’t stop checking their smartphone? Or is that you?
Either way, here’s one way to make dinner a little more interesting.
I’ve seen/heard this described as both “The Phone Stacking Game” and “Don’t Be a Dick During Meals”. It’s been mentioned on a couple of blogs, but a quick straw poll of my friends suggests that it hasn’t become widespread yet, at least on the West Coast. Which…

The date was January 3, 2008. Facebook had kicked me off for running a script to try to save the common web.
See, I worked with Plaxo to run a simple script. One that would have taken my contacts out of Facebook and put them back into the common web. The script did some very simple things:
1. It grabbed all my friends names.
2. It grabbed all their phone numbers.
3. It grabbed all their email addresses.
4. It gave me a simple CSV file with all that data so I could bring them b…
- I’m A New York Times Subscriber, So Where’s My Tote Bag?

- The New York Times released its latest earnings report earlier this week, spurring another round of discussion about the newspaper’s paywall, which was launched near the beginning of last year. The consensus: Early signs are positive, but it’s not doing well enough to offset plummeting print ad revenue.
What’s the solution? Well, if you listen to a number of online media pundits, it’s all about bringing more value to the most devoted members of The Times’ readership. Over at GigaOm, …

- Editor’s note: Nick Cronin is a former corporate attorney and now the President and Founder of ExpertBids.com, which is based in Chicago.
For more than a decade now, the Internet has done a great job of making things in our day-to-day lives more efficient by easily connecting parties who can have a mutually beneficial personal or business relationship. This same idea is now on the verge of disrupting labor and changing the definition of employment as we know it.

- Calendar applications are great, but sometimes you need to track how many days until an upcoming event.

D-Day, found in the iTunes app store, is a free iOS program that manages both scenarios, making it a must-have app on my iPhone.
The software is pretty simple; you just enter a date on one of the three tabs to track days left, days past, or days …

- Just thirty years ago, innovation in almost any category was measured in years, but today it’s measured in weeks or months. If you were to focus on information technology specifically you could even argue that change can occur in days — and that cycle will continue to accelerate.
But adapting and innovating in IT requires that you have a platform strategy that allows for heterogeneous adoption of technology at each layer of infrastructure. You also need simplified, cost-effective, real-tim…
