Agency veteran will take acting leadership role at GSA's Integrated Technology Services
"GSA defines its challenges"
"Experts: GSA needs leaders fast"
"GSA struggles to right the ship"
John Johnson, the General Services Administration's assistant commissioner of service development and delivery, will also serve as the Federal Acquisition Service's (FAS) acting assistant commissioner for Integrated Technology Services (ITS) starting June 5. Current acting commissioner Jim Williams, who took the post in March, will retire June 3.
Experts say Johnson fits the position well, especially with his record of GSA program successes. They hope he can bring that record with him to the new post as the agency continues to face financial turmoil.
Johnson came to the Federal Technology Service (FTS) in 2000 after working in telecommunications policy and oversight positions at the Defense Department. He leads the development of new network services programs while managing the FTS 2001/FTS Crossover contracts, several satellite service contracts and the Federal Wireless Program. He is also involved in developing the Networx, Alliant and Satcom II contract initiatives.
"John has been the hero at GSA," said Warren Suss, president of Suss Consulting. Johnson has brought the government a great deal of value, Suss said, from delivering top-quality service to earning agencies' confidence.
In a period of tight budgets, Johnson has led GSA programs that have evolved with technology, Suss said.
GSA considers ITS a response to rapid changes in technology. As part of the FAS business portfolio, it will provide a range of information technology, telecom programs and professional services, including direct and assisted procurements via governmentwide acquisition vehicles, GSA schedules and other government contracts.
FAS recently absorbed FTS and the Federal Supply Service with the approval of the House and Senate appropriations committees. On May 2, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee responded favorably to legislation authorizing an overall restructuring of GSA.
"It would bring more efficiency to the system, and I think it makes a lot of sense," said Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), the committee's chairwoman. She made her comments after marking up H.R. 2066, the GSA Modernization Act. Rep. Tom Davis (R-Va.) introduced that bill last year, and the House passed it in May 2005. Now the full Senate must vote on it.
Williams became acting commissioner in March after Deidre Lee left GSA for the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Johnson "brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to this job," wrote David Bibb, GSA's acting administrator, in a May 9 e-mail announcement. "I know he will continue his high level of performance in managing the complex programs of ITS in this new role."
Williams worked in the federal government for 32 years, nearly 20 of them at GSA. He was appointed deputy commissioner of FTS in July 2004. Before that, he served as acting deputy commissioner for nine months. He has held various posts at GSA's headquarters in Washington, D.C., and in several regional offices.
Observers consider Johnson the ideal choice to lead ITS during a critical time for the agency. "John has played the lead role in the one area to which GSA may still claim success — the national telecom program," said Renee Courtland, a former government procurement official and now a senior associate at Dutko Government Markets.
She said Johnson understands that GSA increases its value to customers by using IT and telecom contract vehicles that incorporate federal enterprise architecture standards and information security management policies.
"By elevating John to this key leadership position, GSA is better positioned to overcome the damage done to FAS' reputation as a result of improper assisted acquisition practices," Courtland said.
General Services Administration officials chose John Johnson to be the new Federal Acquisition Service's acting assistant commissioner for Integrated Technology Services. He will start the job June 5, after Jim Williams retires June 3.

Posted on 12/08/2013 8:32:23 PM PST by Carbonsteel
The likelihood of life on other planets is "very high," a planetary scientist told a House committee in a hearing some Democrats chided as evading U.S. issues.
"The chance that there's a planet like Earth out there with life on it is very high," Massachusetts Institute of Technology planetary science and physics Professor Sara Seager told the House Science Committee.
"The question is: Is there life near here, in our neighborhood of stars? We think the chances are good," she said, answering a question from Rep. Ralph Hall, R-Texas, who asked: "Do you think there's life out there, and are they studying us? And what do they think about New York City?"
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
If aliens do exist and that's a big if, I seriously doubt they are visiting the Earth or giving people an anal probe.
Seriously though, I really don't think we'll find evidence of alien life any time soon.
That's why these Congesscritters get paid the big bucks.
Especially since there is none.
I think that there certainly is, was or will be - but the problem is the:
I, personally, believe that the fundamental problem is that only predators develop significant intelligence, because they really NEED it. This may be fundamental to life itself, regardless of it's form, DNA, chemical basis, and so on. You can see evidence of this on our own planet - why have all the great civilizations developed between 30 and 50 degrees of the equator? Because those people faced more adversity. Neanderthals were likely to have been more physically capable than we are. Where are they now?
For predators such as ourselves, many have estimated that the time between developing radio to blowing the he** out of your planet may be as short as 100-500 years, which is, of course, the blink of any eye in cosmological terms.
An inkling of this theory can be found in the Bible itself, in the Adam and Eve story..."biting the apple" has it's costs...
Source please?
To assume there is more intelligent life out there sets a very low bar.
Where's your proof there is?
Why would you do that to a perfectly good movie?
I didn't see any proof of life on other planets in Genesis.
You are right.
Also, the distances for visiting are too great.
"Out there" has the exact same elements that are here on earth. The periodic chart works for all existence. The only changes to those elements would be heat, cold and rather large explosions.
Probably all that would be found would be, at best, some bacteria--or old records of Ethel Merman singing: "There's NO business like SHOW business." :o)
Even if we somehow had enough fuel, our lifetimes are too short to get there. Even stasis sleep wouldn't be viable.
The astronauts wouldn't get back to earth for a thousand light years.
Their gardens would sure need watering, wouldn't they?
That Genesis song about illegal aliens...
Not so much...there are roughly 100 billion galaxies out there (give or take), With a million civilizations, that would would be one for every 100,000 galaxies, which is roughly the size of the Virgo Supercluster of galaxies of which our own Milky Way is a member. That would mean that the nearest civilization is, on average, 50 million light years away.
Good luck getting an answer when the exchange of greetings alone will take 100 million years...
Seriously though, I really don't think we'll find evidence of alien life any time soon.
Now on that you just might be wrong. The next generation of supertelescopes should be able to resolve the spectrographs of the atmospheres of Earth-sized exoplanets. If free oxygen is found in significant amounts, it's an indication (an indirect one, granted) of life, since free oxygen is highly reactive and can only remain in the atmosphere of a planet over geologic periods of time by being renewed, presumably by some sort of plant life.
Or "Watcher of the Skies."
Please congress, try and get a handle on what's happening here on earth first! Not even earth, just the US.
It's a great big universe
And we're all really puny
We're just tiny little specks
About the size of Mickey Rooney
You of course would simply REFUSE to see any proof of life elsewhere, even if that means ignoring the Biblical fact that living beings came here from elsewhere, found the daughters of men attractive and sired children with them.
Quite so. Most people who think we're being visited by aliens either don't understand the distances involved or, if they do, simply handwave away speed of light problem. "They must have invented warp drive".
Suuuuuure they have.
"And what do they think about New York City?"
They probably think there's no life on Earth.
For M.I.T. to even lift the lid of possibility this much probably means they already know something far more profound about the existance of life as we know it elsewhere in our solar system. For now, the truth has to be spoonfed to most the public.
Why in the universe would there be a congressional committee hearing on this?
"We will see about that."
A light year is ~9.5 x 1015 meters. It's a measure of distance, not time.
What about liquid methane, or ?
Life evolves eating other life, so what happened to the dinosaur predators? Not enough time?
He's a little long in the tooth, but Ralph Hall is a solid conservative. He used to be my congressman.
You are right. Also, the distances for visiting are too great.
Our first priority has to be dealing with remains of past civilization in our own system, we can worry about the stars later.
To quote Douglas Adams..."The prevailing view seemed to be that his opinion was not worth a pair of fetid dingo's kidneys".
Modern humans (Cro Magnons) killed them all. This is what a Neanderthal actually looked like:
( www.themandus.org )
Oh yeah? Well Han Solo did the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs so there! :)
The only aliens dems care about are those who vote for them, ruling out their interest in any intelligent life.
Sorry, not so much. Here's a modern reconstruction:
There are more galaxies in the known universe than all the grains of sand on earth. Each one containing billions of stars, most of which have planetary systems. The numbers involved are literally unfathomable.
The sheer numerical odds overwhelmingly favor life elsewhere in the universe.
(He's the one to the left of the Bigfoot hunters and young witness.)
I'm reminded of the book, "Rare Earth", which argues that simple unicellular life is very likely quite common throughout the universe, but complex life...not so much.
you don't think you'll find evidence of alien life anytime soon?
have you checked the White House lately?
I guess "intelligent" life isn't a prerequisite then?
$$. How so?
as long as there is an intelligent, Satanic TelePrompter programmer behind the scenes, no intelligence is required for what alien life is visible, no

Froch Has "Concerns" Mack Will Raise His Game at 168
Carl Froch (29-2, 21KOs) insists he will not be looking past Yusaf Mack (31-4-2, 17KOs) when he defends his IBF super-middleweight title against the American on November 17.
The Nottingham fighter is expected to come through the clash in his home town with relative ease before moving on to a rematch with Lucien Bute early next year.
Mack, who usually operates at light-heavyweight, has been stopped by both Glen Johnson and Tavoris Cloud in recent years and will be a big outsider at the Capital FM Arena.
But Froch is not underestimating his opponent and even claimed that Mack is likely to be "15-20 per cent better" after stepping down a weight class.
"There's no such thing as an easy win, that's a load of rubbish," Froch told Sky Sports News.
"People will say, 'this will be an easy fight for you', but Yusaf Mack is coming down to super-middleweight and he's got different ideas.
"He's confident, he's strong at the weight, he's 31 years old, ambitious and coming over to England to win my world title.
"So I need to be on my A-game, I need to be switched on, focused and I need to start strong and sharp and be motivated, which I am.
He added: "He's probably more suited to the super-middleweight limit. There's a potential concern that he's going to be even better at super middleweight than he was at light heavyweight."
[QUOTE=hookoutofhell;12637763][B]the johnson fight was an easy fight[/B] and this is another easy fight i don't think carl has many concerns if hes honest. yusuf will likely be weight drained in trying to make a weight he hasn't made in years…Comment by hookoutofhell on 10-25-2012

The first pops up a small player that will play a mp3 file. The second downloads the file (after renaming it to match the post title). When I put the standard .htaccess file back, everything works fine. When I activate Bullet-Proof Security and add the file name directly in the downloads part, it works. Any ideas how I get around these 2 issues?

Physical Danger
Not trivial. Carpenters do get hurt. And it's not just the falling-off-a-roof kind of hurt that you worry about. It's a much smaller hurt—like a wrist sprain or a repetitive stress syndrome kind of hurt where every time you hit the nail on the head, it's not a good thing. Instead, it sends a nerve-shock up through your spine into that left filling you had dentisted when you were 17. Mess up your body, and you're done. Carpenters with bad wrists don't have much that they can do. Insert inappropriate joke here.

Kuyt wants to go to Newcastle
Just read that Kuyt wants to go to Newcsatle. This can't be true!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

No he doesn't - he was just being polite! We have to get this guy asap because I know he will have a great world cup, and then we will be paying Cisse-type money for him. My brother lives in Rotterdam, and so Feyenoord are his local team, and old Dirk has everything, pace power skill and he can play up front on his own if Rafa wants to play his favoured 4-3-2-1 formation. Kuyt's acquisition would be more important than us signing a right winger!

Sounds like an exciting player. Have never seen him play, but the World Cup would be a good chance to catch this player in action. Hopefully, he can be as effective as van Nist, but without his attitude.
Seems like Kuyt is itching to go to any Premiership team that comes for him. Which is a pity since Newcastle might do another Owen and price us out.
But I guess if Liverpool make another bid for him at the same time as Newcastle, he would choose us. But if he goes to Tyneside, the Geordies would have a dream pairing of Owen and Kuyt, which would make them dangerous. Just hope that we can get him, he is my number one choice.

I've just read he wants to come to us and is only talking about Liverpool.
Think given the choice it's us no doubt.

If it's true, let him go. There is no point in wishing we got the player when that player does not want to join LFC. Remember what Rafa said about Fowler. He has passion and love for the club. Those are the kinds of players we should be looking for. Kuyt's love is somewhere else. There are and there will be better players out there wanting to come to LFC.

Let NUFC have him. He obviously does'nt have any ambition to win trophie's.

Ella (エラ Era?) is a character from the anime series Sonic X and its comic series published by Archie Comics. She is the housemaid for Christopher Thorndyke and his family.
Ella met Sonic the Hedgehog and the others quickly after Cream the Rabbit blows her cover at Chris' dinner party. Ella soon made a close relationship with Cream and Amy Rose.
Ella entered the Emerald Fighting Tournament, battling Big with a frying pan. Froggy hopped out of Big's fur and jumped on Ella, causing her to faint. However, Big was disqualified for going out of the ring while running from Ella. This entire fight was removed from the American 4Kids Entertainment dub.
Ella enjoys her job as a maid, but she dislikes dirt. She can be a hotheaded at times and can practically do anything when in a bad mood, even piloting the X-Tornado.
In the English dub, Ella speaks with a stereotypical Spanish accent.
- Scarlet Garcia reports that Big and Ella are possibly part of the heavyweight division.
- Ella dislikes Bokkun since he has often played pranks on her on several occasions.
- Despite not appearing in the fighting tournament in the English dub of Sonic X, a brief scene of her battle with Big can be seen in the second episode's introduction.
- In the Japanese ending credits for the first 13 episodes, Ella drags Sonic onto the couch and points to a note next to the television that reads not to sit too close to the television in the dark. Sonic just sheepishly shrugs in response.
- Ella shares similar features with the character Consuela from Family Guy, with both characters having some Hispanic ethic background and being maids being the prime comparisons.

Polish July Retail Sales Rise Firmly, but Slump Ahead
WARSAW–Polish retail sales rose robustly in July, the country's statistics office said Friday, but economists doubt the pace can be maintained amid the euro-zone crisis and deteriorating sentiment among Polish consumers.
Sales rose 6.9% on the year in July after climbing 6.4% in June. The annual sales increase was above the 6.5% forecast. Furniture and household appliance sales, which increased 18%, drove sales, as did sales of fuel and vehicles.
However, part of the increase was inflationary, said Bank Millennium, with fuels in particular priced much higher this year. And recent average wage increases were below the rate of consumer price inflation, which means households are using savings to keep their living standards unchanged, the bank said.
"With time, this buffer will be begin to be depleted too," the bank said in a research note. "One should also keep in mind that retail sales figures don't cover services, which is probably under even bigger pressure amid the economic slowdown."
The Polish economy was resilient to the euro-zone crisis until the beginning of this year, when it showed signs of slowing. It's expected to have grown less than 3% on the year in the second quarter, still much above the stagnant euro zone and in sharp contrast with central European peers, which are already in recession. Still, the slowdown is marked, from growth of more than 4% in each quarter of 2011.
Polish consumers still have cash resources accumulated during better economic times and aren't yet reaching for high-interest consumer loans to finance their spending, said Wiktor Wojciechowski, chief economist at Invest-Bank.
"Consumer loans have been shrinking since the spring of last year and in the first half their value fell nearly 3%," he said. Mortgage loans supported purchases of furniture and electronics, he added.
But the growth sales will inevitably decelerate in the months ahead and unemployment will rise from 12.3% in July, economists added. Consumer confidence fell in August from the previous month as households anticipate tougher times, Poland's statistics office said Friday.

t0rin0 (1516) Do Not Resuscitate, California | August 12, 2013
Visited August 11, 2013.
Very quiet on a Sunday afternoon but very friendly bartender and lots of taps to pick from. I initially considered just scrolling past but then I looked at the beer list and realized that I should probably stay. I had a glass of a double IPA from a new Chicago brewer called Spiteful and then a saison from yet another new Chicago brewer called Begyle. The saison was nice but I didnt care for the DIPA. Prices were a little high but not out of control. $10 minimum on credit cards if you dont have cash.
emerge077 (131) RIP Johnnies, Chicago, Illinois | July 31, 2013
Been coming here since they opened, and the selection has steadily increased ever since. An annual highlight has been their "South of 80" event during CCBW. Over two dozen hand-picked rotating taps, a deep bottle selection, plus the draft flight option. Phos Thai next door is great for carryout, plus Frasca and New England Fish Co. across the street. Service has always been amicable, and selection is always top notch. The annual "South of 80" event during CCBW is not to be missed, introducing regional breweries to Chicago for one night only. 09-11-2011: Attended the grand opening last friday, they added some nice touches to the place. Ever since the Shire closed unexpectedly over a year ago, I wondered what might be going in here. The Green Lady is what emerged, an intimate low-key lounge/tavern with 30 craft-focused drafts, quite an upgrade from the last two bars inhabiting this space. The front windows were open, dim hanging lamps cast a warm glow, a new tin paneled ceiling, and diagonal cut plank floors were also a sharp new addition. Long mahogany bar on the left, tables grouped on the right with a few retro sofas in the back. There was now tile work along the walls, above a shelf to set drinks on. More impressive were the 30 taps set into the dark wooden back bar, framed in two groups of 15. There was no printed beer list yet, but a large chalkboard in back listed the drafts, and the full list is now up on beermenus, also listed below. Enjoyed the low key atmosphere, theres also a new digital jukebox in back, and two flatscreens above the bar that were turned off. Service was friendly and attentive, beers were served in proper glassware. A good addition to the area, on a stretch of Lincoln that has its own built-in pub crawl: Fizz, Northdown, and now The Green Lady. http://www.beermenus.com/cities/chicago/bars/the-green-lady
chibuck (543) Chicago, Illinois | June 22, 2013
A great tickers bar. They provide a 4 beer sample, lots of super unique beers you wont see anywhere else. Local and international rare ticks. Comfortable atmosphere, never busy. Some great eye candy as well. Fun place to check out.
fluffheady (109) Chicago, Illinois | June 11, 2013| Updated April 20, 2015
I dont understand how there are so few ratings on here. This bar is just up the street from Northdown. It has been open for a couple years. This is a cool beer bar! Of the times Ive been in there I have seen live music, and on another occasion there was bar trivia (which I think is weekly). Lots of fun, good beer, cool ambiance. You can make a beer night out of it by going to both Northdown and here. Im not sure why, but they are always empty when I visit. They also serve Miller Lite.

ORONO, Maine (AP) — The coach of the University of Maine women's hockey ice hockey team is on paid administrative leave pending an investigation focusing on NCAA compliance issues.
The university said Maria Lewis was placed on leave Monday after the NCAA notified the university that it's investigating possible compliance issues.
Among the issues being investigated are whether student-athletes spent too many hours in activities directed or supervised by coaching staff.

Rochdale started well with Andrew Tutte forcing Lee Nicholls into a decent save.
But the Cobblers broke the deadlock in the 32nd minute when Clive Platt headed home a cross from Chris Hackett.
Boosted by the goal, Northampton took control of the half and Ben Harding shot just wide following good work from the impressive Hackett and Platt.
New signing Roy O'Donovan was denied by keeper Josh Lillis after the restart but Rochdale again started the half well. It took a brilliant save from Nicholls to deny George Donnelly and substitute Ashley Grimes went close moments later.
Lillis twice denied Hackett in quick succession but Kennedy deservedly equalised in the 64th minute when he turned to beat Nicholls after good work from Kevin McIntyre.
Kelvin Langmead restored Northampton's advantage two minutes later when Harding's corner was not fully dealt with by Lillis and the central defender turned the ball in for his sixth goal of the season.
Top scorer Adebayo Akinfenwa increased Northampton's lead from a 75th minute penalty after Hackett was tripped in the box and O'Donovan saw a late effort come back off the upright.

Froch Says Fans Will Boost Him To Power Past Groves
Carl Froch believes his experience of his epic win over Mikkel Kessler in May will give him the edge when he defends his WBA and IBF World Super Middleweight titles against George Groves at the sold-out Phones 4u Arena in Manchester, live on Sky Sports Box Office on November 23.
Froch defeated Kessler in their titanic rematch at The O2 in front of a capacity crowd in London, and the four-time World champion says he thrives on the sensation of lifting belts in front of a packed out Arena.
"There's no greater feeling than standing victorious in the Arena, especially in front of a sell-out crowd with 20,000 people cheering your name," said Froch.
"You're stood in the middle of that ring, you're cut and bruised, got a nose bleed but you're a champion. You're looking around at a packed house.
"You've had 12 weeks in a training camp and you've had an unbelievable fight – I'm talking about the Kessler rematch – that sort of feeling, those sorts of nights. Money can't buy that, there's nothing else you can do, you can't go to a fair ground and ride a roller coaster to get that feeling.
"I'm still boxing because of my pure love for the sport. The sport has given me so much, a privileged lifestyle for a start. The feeling of the fight night that I talked about earlier, you can't get that anywhere, people smoke, gamble and eat lots of chocolate because they are all vices in order to feed a habit or a want. I think I'm addicted to fighting and I'm addicted to fight night."
Froch and Groves battle it out in Manchester on a fantastic bill stacked full off the cream of British boxing.
Scott Quigg defends his WBA Super Bantamweight title against Diego Silva and his gym-mate and resurgent Lightweight star Anthony Crolla defends his WBO Inter-Continental Lightweight title against Stephen Foster Jr. on a busy night for trainer Joe Gallagher, who also has Super Featherweight champion Stephen Smith on the bill and unbeaten Lightweight talent Scotty Cardle.
There's also a late spot on the bill for Murray, who is back in action after his controversial loss to Sergio Martinez in his second World title challenge in April. The 31 year old will now face Sergey Khomitsky in Manchester after his December fight in Australia fell through.
Former IBF World Bantamweight champion Jamie McDonnell fights in an eight round bout, Rocky Fielding defends his Commonwealth Super Middleweight title and Olympic Gold medal heroes Anthony Joshua MBE and Luke Campbell MBE are both in action in their fourth pro contests, while unbeaten Super Flyweight Kal Yafai continues his comeback from injury.
[QUOTE=Boxingscene121;13941374]Froch is embarassing..an arrogant bigot, he needs to watch he doesnt knock himself out. I hate the man, come on Groves!![/QUOTE] Froch is a bigot??? Did I miss something?Comment by dazzlertheboxer on 11-19-2013
So what! It's fight week and he is selling tickets. He's a great boxer who always makes for an exciting fight. He does not deserve any negativity especially considering what he has achieved; number two in the division behind one…Comment by Boxingscene121 on 11-18-2013

Corporate Advocacy Program™
There have been literally thousands of CertKiller customers who have purchased, used and passed their exams. We have never had anyone request a refund, or tell us they didn't pass - that's why we continue to offer this iron clad guarantee - YOU WILL PASS.
Let me add they if you look up the owner of the domain name for certkiller.com you will get a domains by proxy address, which means they have chosen private registration to hide their real contact information on their web site. Their only contact information is their email address, and even their legal policies do not have an address, making them completely erroneous and not under the law (perhaps someone could exploit this and sue them).
I've had an account with certkiller since 2003. I purchased a pack that allowed you unlimited access for about $100 as a special deal. That access worked for at least 5 years, until recently, certkiller changed their site, removed my access from that product.
In spite of this, I thought I would give certkiller.com another chance, as I had an exam coming up and needed to study.
Incident 1:
I purchased an EX200 package, which included the virtual simulator only. I tried the simulator out, and it was utter rubbish. It presents the same questions over and over, and the "right" answers you enter in the practice questions rarely ever work, so it's almost impossible to gauge your progress. In addition to this, there are many typos in the exam questions.
Incident 2:
Realizing the simulator was an utter piece of sh*t, I thought maybe the printed version would be better, at least it would allow me to not slow me down with errors like the simulator did. Having bought from certkiller before I am used to receiving a digital copy and overlooked that it was a printed version. After realizing this, within 24 hours I contacted certkiller support to cancel the order, but alas, the "customer service" representative informed me it had already shipped. The purchase was made on Dec. 5, the cancellation on the 6th. Wow, prompt shipping right!? It is Jan. 9, and I have yet to receive the product. Even though it ships from the UK to the US, a full month is plenty of time for mail to arrive to the US, usually its about 2 weeks from Europe.
So I leave you with this, not only does certkiller have a piss-poor product (sadly, they used to be good), but they have illegal, rude, and underhanded criminal business practices. Perhaps Godaddy should consider shutting them down (or the FTC, who I will be filing a complaint with as well) since its hosted on a US server and they can shut down offshore websites like this run by corrupt offshore shyte-heads.

Twitter's Pivot 2011: From front-end to back-end.
Twitter's Pivot 2011: From front-end to back-end.
The following is a semi-professional attempt to summarize what happened in the world of digital media consumption in 2010 (focused on content), as well as an attempt to posit would the world could have in store for digital infophiles in 2011 and beyond. I am personally interested in digital media today and in the future, but I am not an expert and would very much welcome any feedback and/or push-back on this essay. Thank you in advance for reading and I look forward to your reactions.
In 2010, briefly, the iPad was introduced and thought to usher in a new era of media consumption. As it turned out, publishers have yet to figure out how to present their content to users in a consistent, uniform way. The first problem was user interface. Big media brands spent lots of money trying to develop an iPad experience that would hook in users, but the majority of them did not execute this correctly. The second problem was harder to attack: the fact that most readers will only consume a percentage of content from a source. In reality, those who read online cull their information from multiple sources which they aggregate in a variety of ways, such as RSS feeds, Google Reader, bookmarks, and of course, Twitter feeds. Finally, price. The New Yorker tried to unveil a very heavy, clunky iPad app which basically flopped, despite the fact that it's widely considered one of the best magazines in the world. More recently, The Economist finally unveiled very nice iPad and iPhone applications, which they designed as freemium, giving full access only to current offline subscribers. Then, in the next month, they tested a Groupon deal for 51 issues for $51. If The Economist is doing this, the future is surely dark and stormy.
The argument I'd like to advance in this mini-essay is that from January 1, 2011, Twitter has completed the first phase of its pivot into solidifying itself as the back-end for digital media infrastructure, communication, and distribution. What started with Evan Williams' return to product and Dick Costolo's rise to CEO to Jason Goldman's departure from product, and most recently, Flipboard's Mike McCue's appointment to the Board of Directors, has now placed Twitter in a position that is evidence of the strategic mastery and vision of Chairman Jack Dorsey. Up until mid-2010, Twitter grew so fast and became so important that it was perceived to be the front-end, where myriad types of consumers would consume information and media. All along the way, while investors clamored to get in on any financing round, a loud chorus of onlookers would always cry: "How will Twitter make money?" Truth be told, they haven't figured it out yet. And, that's OK.
There's something so powerful yet simple about Twitter. Its infrastructure and ability to connect folks via mobile phone has already had significant effects on significant historical events. That much cannot be disputed. Yet for all its power, Twitter at the core is a geeky phenomenon. It's an entirely different language with its own nomenclature of symbols, hashtags, and cadence. These idiosyncrasies endear the service to its loyal subscribers though simultaneously limit the chances it will grow into a full-fledged mainstream network the size of aslightly bigger network located 35 miles south of Twitter HQ.
The solution for Dorsey is the sum of the solutions to the two problems articulated above. One, publishers are hovering around the iPad, with its dizzying adoption rates, trying desperately to figure out how to deliver content and get paid for it, while giving Mr. Jobs a 30% toll. Two, Twitter has become so vital to the lifeline of these publishers for distribution that unless Twitter can increase its own user base and number of tweets, as well as helping users sift through to find content that appeals most to them, they run the risk of phasing out of favor or, worse, watching another reputation-based information network, such as Quora, sneak up on them.
The solution, then, is to help Twitter begin its transformation from a company that acted as the front-end of news and information into a company that will provide the back-end content, media, and horsepower for years to come. And, by focusing Twitter on its core strength, Dorsey paves the way for McCue and the Flipboard team to focus on their core strength — the front end. (I posed a question about this on Quora, click here for the thread.) Flipboard is already lightning hot, named as the app of the year, announcing an update so huge before Christmas in the same year, collecting a war chest of venture dollars, and essentially leaving its competition in Pulse and Flud, among others, in the dust.
I spent the last week using all three iPad apps (Flipboard, Pulse, and Flud). Here are my initial observations:
- The slick design and user interface have become commoditized. The Flipboard and Pulse teams have designed products that take full advantage of the iPad and iPhones. Both teams deserve the accolades they get. However, the best flattery for design is imitation, and apps that try to compete in this space will just copy and tweak the original designs.
- Providing a richer text and media experience requires partnerships with content providers. Simply creating a web crawler to find, extract, prune, and reposition content may be good for lightweight reading. Marco Arment's Instapaper fills this void extremely well and integrates seamlessly with native mobile Twitter apps. To provide the consumer with a real magazine feel, a reader like Flipboard has to reach an agreement with a publisher, such as TechCrunch, to repurpose its content and deliver it in a sophisticated way.
- Readers consume from myriad sources, including individuals. If a user reads 20 articles in a month, those articles may come from almost 20 different sources. Because there's so much content, companies like Flipboard draft behind the social networking trend to provide its readers with articles culled from their own individual social graphs.
- Social graphs, however, aren't enough. Consumers will need something more than a dedicated TechCrunch feed, or a feed of their Twitter stream, a more specific Twitter list, or even a specific feed of an individual, such as super-linker Atul Arora, otherwise known as @atul on Twitter. (The picture below is a screenshot of my @Atul branded Flipboard "channel.")
There's something in between getting information provided by an individual, such as @atul, and getting information from a dedicated source, such as TechCrunch. In certain cases, users will want to follow topics and categories that pull information from various sources. This distinction, though slight, is critical to understand. It's the type of distinction Quora gently employs, where a user can not only follow an individual on the network, but also topics and specific questions within those topics and/or related to people. That level of granularity actually mimics the nuance of our relationships much more closely than the asymmetry of following individuals and newsbots on Twitter.
The stage is set for 2011. Companies like Flipboard will be the front-end of what the mass market will see and consume. iPad sales are up and to the right. Consumers are yearning for ways in which to increase the signal while decreasing the noise in their lives. They want the best information from a variety of sources, and they want to share that content with their own networks in real-time. They want to know what their friends and thought leaders are reading. On the other end, writers, editors, and publishers need to make money by selling subscriptions or advertisements. However, with iPad proliferation and the beauty of using Flipboard, publishers and even bloggers may be able to syndicate specific content around specific topics, location, or context. It is here where the money lies, and here where the smart money will focus in 2011. This where Twitter, Dorsey, Kleiner's recent investment, and McCue's appointment come into focus. Twitter is now poised to be the de factor distribution channel for content, providing a robust back-end and the promise of new strategies to monetize consumption on mass market levels. This is the challenge for 2011 and beyond in mass market digital media.

atul says :
SemilYou have made some great points about Twitter's game plan vis-a-vis the addition of Michael McCue to Twitter's board as well as what lies ahead of them for 2011.Just wanted to make a couple of observation / points: 1. Tweetdeck/Seesmic are v1.0 of Flipboard in some way. They aggregated different channels – tweets/facebook and presented a stream interface. Flipboard turned that the stream model over into a social magazine view that is publisher friendly and user friendly but a departure from the stream view that FB/Twitter produce and people have become accustomed to. It is hard to tell if people will gravitate towards a social magazine interface on an iPad or laptop or would they want to stick with the stream view that they view on their smartphone currently and may wish to continue with same interface on the iPad/laptop. 2. With sub-par broadband availability for the majority of the US population, I believe the most important problem facing Google/Apple/publishers is cheaper/faster bandwidth. iPad is superb for text based digital media and perhaps pictures but video is probably some time away unless everyone that owns iPad has a superfast internet connection. Not sure how Twitter/Flipboard can do anything about it but part of their success lies in how faster broadband will come in the US.P.S. Thanks for featuring my Twitter feed in the Flipboard screenshot above. Atul
Parth Shah says :
Great read. Two comments: – It's interesting when you say "Twitter has become so vital to the lifeline of these publishers". Would be good to know some statistical figures to support this assertion. Last time I looked, TechCrunch (which has a heavy overlap with Twitter users) had about 10% traffic from Twitter. Not so significant compared to others but growing for sure. Which publishers in particular are heavily dependent on Twitter alone?- Also, i didn't see Twitter innovating as much on the backend as it did on the frontend in 2010. They had two major product releases: #NewTwitter and Twitter for iPad. Both are excellent products but the innovation has been on the frontend. On the backend side, there was the Streaming and Annotations API but I'm not seeing many developers picking them up as yet. There are rumors that they might release an Analytics API next year. It will be interesting to see how that changes things.
Semil Shah says :
Thank you for these comments. I will try to respond, as much as I can:-The issue of broadband penetration in the U.S. is certainly an important limiting factor, not just to Flipboard, but many others. Twitter is sort-of able to grow and get around this because interaction can be entirely SMS-based, if the user cares for that.- I like the notion of TweetDeck, Seesmic, etc. acting as Flipboard 1.0, thank you!- The "lifeline" language I used wasn't based on statistics and perhaps a bit hyperbolic, but sometimes I think stats end up cloudy the reality b/c I could always find stats to support my assertion, and someone with a different point of view could counter with entirely different stats. Perhaps I should have said that Twitter, I believe, will become more and more important.- Twitter innovation on the front-end is a matter of taste. I personally don't think "New Twitter" is all that great, though their mobile apps for iPhone and iPad are great. Unfortunately, they shot across the bow with that move to the TweetDecks, etc. I think they are solidifying their backend and it's just that we don't see it — but clearly, as you and I have discussed, Twitter DM's are horrendous and a missed opportunity that Quora could easily pick up on.
Rubin Singh says :
Your essay was very informative. It would be nice to add some of Twitter's nomenclature in there. You might also want to brainstorm some ways that people could harness the strengthened backend and predict what kinds of uses are going to emerge from it. Also, what percentages of people vs. organizations are on there and how are they using their pages?

I thought I was just having a bad experience.
Apparently, I am not the only one as the Federal Government is getting in on the action;
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Justice Department announced today that it has filed a civil lawsuit asking a federal court in Las Vegas to issue a temporary restraining order against a telemarketing firm, the Las Vegas-based National Audit Defense Network, known as NADN. Court papers allege that NADN has sold fraudulent tax schemes-including phony website businesses - to an estimated 100,000 customers, costing the Federal Treasury an estimated $324 million to date. Also named in the suit, filed in U.S. District Court, were three other companies-ALR, Inc. (operating under the name Success Matrix Group), Free Trade Enterprises (operating under the name Oryan Management), and ADA Adventure-and thirteen individuals. The suit also asks the court to permanently bar NADN and four of the individual defendants from preparing federal income tax returns for others, and to order the defendants to turn over their customer lists.

Recommendations for contempt charges in connection to the gas plant scandal could be coming up soon.NDP House leader Gilles Bisson says the committee looking into the Mississauga and Oakville cancellations has enough information to make a decision on who should be named in contempt and what the penalty should be.These recommendations would then go to the speaker of the legislature. He's urging other other party leaders to get on with things. The speaker already found former MPP and energy minister Chris Bentley may have breached privilege by the slow document release in the scandal. Which is why the committee has been debating this issue.Bentley resigned from both roles at Queen's Park last year. Despite the wealth of evidence they already have, Bisson underlines the all-party committee still needs to hear from witnesses. They are looking at those named in OPP documents surrounding email deletion, such as former-McGuinty staff members David Livingston and Laura Miller. They also want to hear from Miller's tech-savvy boyfriend Peter Faist, who was said to have been brought in to wipe government computers. Livingston may face criminal charges. Bisson says in between testimony is a perfect time to write up a report on their findings. None of these allegations have been proven in court.

After updating to V1.2, it hard to download application from Nokia Store, does any one got the same problem?
It Will be slow for first time after u get the update after that it will be ok. its because this software its a major release.
:) Awesome. Finally N9 has video calls through GTalk which puts front camera into better use. I expect more stuff from Nokia in near future.
just updated my N9, but it seems more laggy and slow compare to last time.. anyone experience the same?
Use GTalk Video Calling app from the store to make a video call. It's working fine. Long live Nokia N9. :)

wg96, 29 Feb 2012hello Im living in Malaysia and until today i cant see any update is available... does anyone ... morei just got the update yesterday and downloaded it OTA after refreshing many times. Probably you could try the software updater if it doesnt work OTA.
Just got the update here in New Zealand. Here's a couple things I have noticed in this update:
1. The keyboard buttons are bigger - much easier to type on.
2. There is a subtle sound effect when swyping down to close an app.
3. There is a zoom out button on the Drive app to show city-wide location.
Will keep you posted on any new finds.
