Most recently, HBO asked if it could use some of the secrets sent to Warren as part of a marketing campaign for its “Big Love” show about a polygamous family in Utah. But he said no, and since then, HBO has been operating its own site, called “Web of Secrets,” where people can anonymously post secrets, which are then sent out via a Twitter feed.

“My secret really is that online gaming really is an addiction,” the woman said, “and it can destroy (families), and I think people shou

“Many advertisers and marketers are becoming aware of the value in advertising through social media channels, but have yet to do so because of an inaccurate perception that no methods or tools exist to sufficiently measure the reach and success of a campaign,” CEO Michael Lazerow said in a statement. “We’ve spent the past few months developing the BuddyBrain to combat these very fears to both entice more brands to make the leap into social advertising and to better service our existing client

Diigo, which I did not originally include in the Google Notebook alternatives post, but offers many things that Google Notebookers might find attractive, is also working on an importer. It’s not out yet, but should be soon.

Ubernote’s co-founder Joshua Ho pinged me to let me know that he and his team had a 24-hour coding “marathon” to put together a Google Notebook importer.

WASHINGTON–Federal regulators on Tuesday met to hear about whether the benefits of cloud computing justify increased regulation, as privacy activists claim, or whether such an approach would do more harm than good.

FTC Commissioner Harbour said at Tuesday’s conference that it would be preferable if more than one large company such as Google were responsible for storing personal data.

As a result of the recent financial crisis, “there could be a number of follow-on effects from the credit crisis on Intel’s business, including insolvency of key suppliers resulting in product delays; inability of customers to obtain credit to finance purchases of our products and/or customer insolvencies,” Intel restated in a FORM 10-Q filing.
