Yahoo VP’s getting canned

This story was in the ValleyWag news back on Friday, 11/10/2006. I sort of felt for a minute at least, “Wow, how did I miss that story or post something about it here?” - At least I was not the only one, as it probably will be big news this week upcoming.

It does look like a pretty decent list of VP’s that are getting booted out of Yahoo this coming week. Technically Speaking, I’m sure somehow, some way, this is all going to be coming out later this week as something that has to do with Google!

For the female readers - Fantasy Soap

I don’t mean at all to be stereotypical, but I think that this will apply more to the females that read this blog more then the guys. I am guessing, again stereotyping, my male to female readers are like 90% male to 10% female. If you are a male reading this, and like soaps or follow them daily - my apologies, as I am just using raw guessing as far as this is concerned. The above is not meant to be demeaning to any person (male or female) in any way, shape or form to your recreational activities.

We have all heard of fantasy sports - ie.. fantasy football, fantasy baseball, etc… Here is a new one that I never thought could be done. Soap Net is betting that it can. They have a new service called - Fantasy Soap.

The object of the game is that you get 3 male and 3 female soap stars and then you are playing for points. Just like fantasy football right? Except I guess you are waiting for things such as - Taking off clothing, waking up from a coma, getting an organ transplant, day dreaming or “monologuing” — when an actor stands alone in a room talking to himself — are each worth a hefty 50 points in Fantasy Soap League.

Sound like fun? If so, Technically Speaking you can leave comments below and let us know how the game is. I do however think that with the spoilers available on the internet, it will be kind of hard to play the game with any type of fairness. It could really crack down on the spoilers being released if the game happens to catch on and become popular. I mean, how would it be to play a fantasy sports game if we knew how the players were going to play from week to week?

yourminis — #4!

Yes, over on the IBN we now have 2 people singing the praises of yourminis.com. Make it 3 of us! I just finally took the time this morning to set up my yourminis.com page. I will say this, here is a list of advantages I see to it over Netvibes. This here of course is the original article that Mike wrote, and I’m glad he gave this site exposure. Now on to the 3 things I see as really nice (right out of the box; there are more obviously!):
1. A nice suite of entertainment tools.

2. Comics feed - since I have pretty much stopped reading the newspapers regularly since it’s all available online, I haven’t read a funnies page in years. Today, I was able to see one of my favorites - Dilbert for the first time in years - No Lie!

3. Referring to #1 above, it is really nice to have MUSIC integrated smoothly into the system. I like it that it’s new stuff too; I’m not a big fan of everything, but I do like checking out new artists, and what a nice way to do it!

Technically Speaking, I will have to give this site 2 thumbs WAY UP! Nice job!

Podlinez

Podlinez, I had to give this one a go. This is taking a podcast and putting it on a phone. Mike said this one was dead simple to use, so since it’s early, and I’m on like 3 hours of sleep - I figure this was the one I needed to try first! ie.. more coffee!

Honestly? It’s beyond dead simple. In fact if you can’t figure it out, YOU my reader are really DEAD! Seriously if you can’t follow the very simple instruction (one!) - then you don’t need to be listening to podcasts on the phone, in fact - you probably should be in the passenger seat while going down the road! These are the people that cause accidents while cell’n and drivin’!

Next up, is the other one Mike checked out.
