Looks like Apple is making a strong push towards social networking…
Several recent Apple developments suggest that the company is ramping up for a huge push of social features in its software…
What I find interesting is that Apple’s really going against the grain here. It seems like everyone, including Microsoft, is trying to bring desktop apps to the web. Apple on the other hand is bringing the web to the desktop. Hmmm.
Maybe Tara was onto something here.
My vote for quote of the day goes to Mark Zabrammy…
Granted, while design trends like gradients, large fonts, and high contrast graphics may fade, the idea of simplifying information and accessibility is here to stay.

The Netscape Navigators have been revealed and Jason’s getting a great deal. $1000 a month is nothing for the amount of free consulting he’ll get out of this. Now hopefully he can bring the experience of Netscape up to par with that of Digg and Newsvine.
• Om Malik says that Live is a better brand than MSN. I agree with him. Live is going to be powerful and gooble up the mainstream audience like you wouldn’t believe.
• Logic+Emotion asks if the Agency video was for Agency.com or Subway. It was obviously for Agency.com but that isn’t a bad thing. While the video is cheesy people are still talking and thinking about them.
• Fred Wilson’s VC cliche of the week is don’t count your chickens before they hatch. One of the first leasons I learned in life but man it’s a hard one to follow sometimes.
• USAToday has a feature on Danny Sullivan, the unofficial ambassador of search marketing. Congrats to Danny and all his success.
• Bottlz 2.0. See what happens when a drink company hires a web designer.
• Adrants points us to SuperPitch, a game where you become an ad agency trying to win new business.
Update: Coudal Partners launches their response to the Agency.com video.
Got bored and started surfing around on Flickr, lucky me came across some screenshots of the new Digg spy (aka Digg spy on crack). Enjoy!
Hopefully it launches soon.
btw - These were found on Mike Arrington’s Flickr account.
Update: Mike posted the screenshots on his blog with a nice little write up about the new digg spy. These features will be called Digg Stack & Digg Swarm.
