Over a quiet cup of tea this morning Apple let us know PB Go will be on the store in 3 hours. It’s there. It’s not too shabby. Went public with this site. Then I bought the app. I couldn’t help myself.
After spending a whole month of my life researching on line media I too decided it’s a self fulfilling whirlpool of tossers claiming they can capture and control social media. I joined twitter, linkedin, facebook. I watched fakesteve turkey slap John Gruber. Then un-followed everyone. So check out the top rating forever Doodle Jump’s website. Thats right it’s a page of icons that link to iTunes. That’s Lima’s online media strategy. They don’t have one ! They don’t need to. They’re in Wikipedia, referenced in TV sitcoms and sold over 3 million copies. So whilst we all blog on until our hearts are content remember if it aint a good idea it aint going to fly no matter how many times you sponsor Daring Fireball. That’s it I’m not blogging anymore.
Ode to the office-less office. Now I’m free, no-ones bothering me, with their keynote presentations, board room meetings, spreadsheet, downsizing, rationalising, professional platitudes. Sitting in the park watching the dog play. I smile smugly, looking at the trees, they wave back and say “Hey we’ve been here a long time. Glad to see you made it out OK” …. so I’m going nuts talking to the trees. No more water cooler conversations. Tweets instead. Blogs but sunshine. I’m free and Apple can keep their 30% that’s fine by me.
