eBay has used wikis in its customer-support section... The NBA's Dallas Mavericks announced a plan to let fans wiki every game .... And T-Mobile launched a Sidekick wiki that has produced collaboratively written pieces including tips on how to pimp out the inside of the phone and a wish list of improvements the community would like to see.

Three girls march toward the White House on Elm St. in Washington, DC, as part of the Inderpendance Day Parade.

“The special anniversary tribute refutes many myths about the period and American history. According to the entry, the American Revolution was in fact instigated by Chuck Norris, who incinerated the Stamp Act by looking at it, then roundhouse-kicked the entire British army into the Atlantic Ocean. A group of Massachusetts Minutemaids then unleashed the zombie-generating T-Virus on London, crippling the British economy and severely limiting its naval capabilities.”

“Consider a query in Google that could have any of 25 different links that could wind up on the first page (set at the default 10 results displayed) of a user’s personalized results listings. That could lead to roughly 11.9 trillion permutations, or about 1,750 permutations for every person alive.”

David Siegel on Web 3.0David Siegel on Web 3.0

Buildings will reorder their own supplies. You'll never buy an album or even a single song again. You'll be able to switch all your accounts (cash, bonds, stocks) to another bank or brokerage using your browser in under a minute. You'll be able to see what your kids are up to at any moment, every mile you drive in your car, every photograph you take, and every agreement you sign. All via the Semantic Web.

“[Google’s] prototype software… uses a computer's built-in microphone to listen to the sounds in a room. It then filters each 5-second snippet of soundto pick out audio from a TV…,searches an Internet server for a matching fingerprint from a pre-recorded show, and, if it finds a match, displays ads, chat rooms, or other information related to that snippet on the user's computer.”

MTV Virtual Laguna BeachMTV Virtual Laguna Beach

It's not yet clear exactly how the brands will be integrated into the space, but what is clear is that marketers are learning they have to "step away from trying to control every brand exposure," said Amanda Richman, senior VP-group director of strategy development and innovation at MediaVest Digital, which is working on behalf of P&G. "This is going beyond pre-roll, product placement, brand profile pages." Ad Age, September 2006

NBC’s Horny Manatee CoupNBC’s Horny Manatee Coup

• In a pre-emptive strike inspired as much by the regulations of the FCC as by the laws of comedy, NBC bought the license to hornymanatee.com, for $159, after the taping of the Dec. 4 show but before it was broadcast.

• [One week later], hornymanatee.com — created by Mr. O’Brien’s staff and featuring images of such supposedly forbidden acts as “Manatee-on-Manatee” sex (again using characters in costumes) — had received approximately 3 million hits, according to NBC. Meanwhile several thousand of Mr. O’Brien’s viewers have also responded to his subsequent on-air pleas that they submit artwork and other material inspired by the aquatic mammals, and the romantic and sexual shenanigans they imagine, to the e-mail address conan@hornymanatee.com.

- NY Times, December 12 2006
