Past tense of 'bing': If bing is like ping then it's 'binged'. If it's like sing, it's 'bung'. If it's like bring, it's 'bought'.
Starbucks Listens to Customer Request for More Sizes | Starbucks Coffee Company
This was my favorite April Fools prank. Starbucks again showing the best way to battle brand backlash is to not let it throw you off your game.
How the Tablet Will Change the World
The more I read about the iPad, the more impressed I am by Apple's vision. I'm also enjoying the battle of the titans between Apple and Google. And while I generally favor the open system approach of Google, Apple's been providing value through a far more consistently better user experience for the masses of users who never really care about doing their own Google Maps mashup.

"Orkut for Android?" Nice. If they just added pro sports, scrapbooking, and Ron Paul, I'd finally have my perfect "Who Cares?" engine.
Five Keys For Creating Viral YouTube Titles
Interest in creating viral videos will probably be around for a while. These simple tips are well worth the quick read. I also found the video for creating a "Tim Burton" look with makeup surprisingly interesting.
Digital Marketing: YouTube Opens Up Overlays – Advertising Age
I still say the YouTube deal will ultimately play out (and pay out) well for Google. With the level of usage still going through the roof, and Google wanting to get their text ads in every nook and cranny of the Internet, this video-based version of Adwords is right out of their play book.
"My Mom's On Facebook" Song Goes Viral

YouTube – iSandwich 4G
Found this pretty funny. Not sure I'd want to taste it, but it's a visual treat. Wait until the end for the CG gag.
MediaShift . Best Online Resources for Following 2010 Winter Olympics | PBS
This list is an interesting scan simply because of the range of content around the Olympics. No really unexpected, but a good overview at the numerous angles from which online content can approach a subject.
30 APIs Used in 7 Days: Bing, Facebook, Flickr, Google, Netflix, Salesforce.com, Twitter, YouTube
Despite mashups having been around for a while, I feel there's enormous untapped potential. Especially as social networking and mobile are going to generate treasure troves of data previously unavailable in any form. This list is heavily concentrated on data and web tending apps, which is no doubt a big topic right now.

P&G Launches eStore to Test Marketing Concepts – MarketingVOX
I'm curious to see what this 'lab' looks like from a features and development angle. It's clearly designed for nimbleness, which will only be a growing trend as everything seems to be moving toward immediacy. From product development to brand experience to social marketing.
Fuck you, Google « Fugitivus
I've felt for a while that the tech industry is veering perilously close to blowing the top off the whole privacy issue. From location-based services to misunderstood social network sharing to cookie tracking, there are a lot of hot buttons, and people are starting to push them.
Twitter Is Still Growing Rapidly [STATS]
A week or two ago it was widely reported that Twitter was dropping off in popularity. However, they were gauging unique visitors to the site, and with so many people using 3rd party apps, like TweetDeck, that could have a large impact. The other key stat is obviously overall Tweets sent, and that's where apparently Twitter is looking just fine.

Sometimes a video is worth 1,000 blog posts. This one does a great job explaining the immediate appeal and potential power of their social search. In personal tests, I didn't find it all that, but then neither was YouTube on day one. But the potential is screaming obvious. And I found it a glaring reminder of how far ahead of everyone Google is in search. Tried Facebook search lately? It feels like you're dealing with a big, dumb, AI terminal. As my network and the topics it covers expands, this could be a remarkably powerful focal point for searches across anything from a restaurant to a good doctor. Google's biggest obstacle here is Facebook blocking their content from Google search. If I were to pick a winner at this point, I'd say Google because this is far more advanced search-wise, and I like the idea of the net they're casting going well outside one site (although Facebook Connect could be just as...
