Myspace outage

Interesting specualtion about a MySpace outage this morning. Apparently the site was "buggy" for a couple hours. They say it did not accept any new widgets, but existing ones would work. People say it could be a test to see how well MySpace could block out third party code if they wanted to. Then they could allow only "certified partners", and of course charge a fee for certification. Clever. Or it could just have been a bug.

Related, allegedly, MySpace is upset that YouTube or Photobucket for example get tons of attention, yet the main reason they are successful is because they embed their content in MySpace. The overwhelming majority on YouTube's daily streams are on MySpace.

Thu

Just got home. Not quite as cold today, but a bit rainy. Will be working offsite tomorrow, going to South Norwalk for meetings. Saw a friend, Erika, at work. She stopped by to say hi, used to work with us, but she no longer does.

Not immediately hungry.

Wed night

Cold continues. Went to a Guinness event from work tonight with Karrie, Melissa, Andrey and Joel. It was fun. After the event went to dinner at Vynil with Gerard, Craig and Heather, and then had a couple cocktails at Vintage. Got a couple messages from Nate, they are also out, I assume with Molly and the crew .
