Today we are celebrating the 100th birthday of a very special man and it all started with a fax to Mich Mathews, our SVP of Marketing. I’ll admit it was a little strange – it came from a man named Dr. Richard Bing who said he was 99 years old and would love to do something with us since we “used his name for our new search engine”. Mich routed it around to […]

It’s time for the rebirth of the Town -A town crier is a person who is employed by a town council to make public announcements in the streets. The crier can also be used in court or official announcements. Criers often dress elaborately, by a tradition dating to the 18th century, in a red and goldrobe, white breeches, black boots and a tricorne hat.

How To Do Anything in 2009
Posted: 09 Jan 2009 03:24 PM PST
So, how’s that great watch working for you? You know, the one you got for Christmas with the strap that’s too long? Never fear, help is here!
Every day, thousands of our visitors search through over a million lenses, looking for tips, ideas, and directions for using, fixing, or buying their favorite gadgets. Things like “how to solve a Rubix Cube” and “how to get the most out of a Wii Fit.”
In fact, no matter what gift you got this holiday season, chances are we have a lens about it. AND, your gift can help someone else, and make you a little cash, when you turn it into a how-to lens on Squidoo!
What are best practices for building a helpful how-to lens?
1. Start with a description of the item. If someone is first learning about it, they may not fully understand what it is or what it does. Grandma may not know what this “Wii” thing is that she sees on her grandkids’ wish list.
2. Use photos. The terminology instruction manuals use may not make sense to everyone. Just like websites have different terms for your username (screen name, user ID, passcode, etc.), one video game system might have a cartridge, while another has a disc. Show users what the terms mean for this item.
3. Use videos. Sign language, origami, and Rubix Cubes are best mastered in real life, so adding your videos is a great way to show readers the steps involved. (Can’t find a how-to video? Create your own! And with the new Video Module, adding them from several sources is simple.)
4. Include a variety of resources. Some readers rely on links to official sites. Some just love a heartfelt story. And just about everyone wants to leave their own special note.
5. Cover the painfully obvious and the intriguingly obscure. Any how-to lens author will tell you that the range of questions they get about their topic is amazing. You’ll probably never come up with every answer; readers will thing of new and weird things to ask. But each time you get a question, work the answer into your lens for future readers. Don’t forget to cover the basics and add a few treats for advanced users.
Now that you’ve mastered connecting the Wii to the new flatscreen to the satellite dish to the TV/VCR/DVD to the Playstation to the Nintendo, you can teach others how to do the same. And when you’re done, you can learn what recent recipients thought about Elmo Live.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 6, 2009 — The i-Freek application allows users to sequence up to 5 sounds from 48 pre-recorded and 5 recordable sound effects ranging from Chainsaw and Creaky Old Door to Gas Leak, lending a technological hand during Halloween festivities. "We designed i-Freek for the kid who likes [...] […]
Data via trends.google.com Since it was acquired, I have basically abandoned Friendfeed. I love the service, but I am waiting to see how the team integrates it into Facebook. Unsurprisingly, traffic to the Friendfeed site has plummeted since the acquisition in August. And Posterous now has nearly as much traffic (Posterous is the red line above), but trai […]
Today, as I waded through a stack of magazines to read a week's worth of news and editorial, I was sad to see the cover of one of my favorite pubs with a headline reading "The Lost Generation" and inside, a story warning about the "enduring harm" young people face in this economy. "Bright, eager—and unwanted. While unemploymen […]
Every time a relative passes this issue comes front and center for me. Most other times it's just lurking in the shadows. We need one or more institutions that can manage electronic trusts over very long periods of time. The institutions need to be long-lived and have the technical know-how to manage static archives. The organizations should need the s […]
