It seems to me that this is native advertising as it should be. … The content is genuinely fun, just as it is fleeting and unobtrusive. … These are the sorts of native ad projects that help change some of the traditional polarity of the advertising and publishing relationship. This is where we really see marketers challenged by publishers on behalf of users to make their advertising more fun and engaging on the consumer’s terms.
No idea how Emily (or others) do this job. Live TV is incredibly hard, and they’re dealing with so much info so fast, just super complex. (at Bloomberg)
On BloombergTV with Emily Chang in a few. Looking at my badge picture, I seem to have been incognito last time. :-)
Full of banana.
It is remarkable to see the strong rating distribution for Tumblr’s mobile application. It is a testament to the team’s dedication to delivering a compelling mobile first experience.

Playing around with the new RX-1. So far, pretty nice pictures. :-)
Life is good.
We’re not thinking about, ‘Wow, we have this need out there. We need trained professionals to help fill it. We’re thinking, ‘Oh yeah, someone’s got to watch the kids. Let’s pay ‘em like babysitters.
Picture says it all. We should be better than this. Shameful is the right word. We need to fix our government. (via The New York Times - Breaking News, World News & Multimedia)

Timehop has become one of my very favorite things about digital life lately. We’re not investors, but I love what their team has built, because it’s so essentially human.
As I described to Jonathan, what happens about every other day, sometime in the morning, is that my wife or I sees a note/picture/tweet from a few years ago — when our son was 2 or 3 or 4 — and we send it to the other. In that way, Timehop is helping us connect with each other to remember some of our fondest memories together.
It’s emblematic of why I love this wave of mobile technology, too — because we have our devices with us all the time, and they can capture images and feelings so quickly and thoughtlessly, they’re becoming more human, and helping us connect.
I do worry some about how technology yanks us out of our present contexts, and I think it’s important to be intentional about issues like that, but these moments of connection, as more and more of our artifacts are digital — and therefore ubiquitous, retrievable, searchable & shareable — well, that’s a pretty special thing for sure.
Thanks so much to Jonathan & folks at Timehop — you’ve helped us to remember and talk about and laugh about and cry about many of the most important moments over the last few years.
