Ever surf The Wayback Machine (http://web.archive.org) to see what your favorite websites looked like back in their early days?
Here’s an early version of YouTube…
Even better… an early shot of Google. Ah, memories.
You have GOT to love this. Tiny banner ads tied to flies, and the insects were set free during a conference. I’m thoroughly impressed in such a strange way. Although I have to wonder what the floor looked like at the end of the day.
I’m linking to Vegemite’s website because you’re not allowed to.
Corporate meetings can be such a drag. I recently stumbled via the World Wide Web into the Corporate Entertainer Jeff Civillico, who bungees on a tricycle. Candidly I’m less surprised at this feat as disappointed that all meeting entertainers don’t do this. The next time you’re at a corporate event and they bring in some watered-down softball…
Put on your thinking caps, kids. Lots of wisdom in here. Most of it is additive to Beyond Viral, but go buy that damned book if you haven’t. And if you have read Beyond Viral, please provide a gratuitous complement below even if it’s fake. Hey I’m not expecting to outsell Hunger Games, but my…
Thanks to SomeCallMeJim (a WVFF tribe member), who helped summarized this BeingPeterKing novel about what the future holds for social media.

You must be bored.
@1 Ha, what was it? The solo video camera of some sorts pointing at you?
It’s ever changing, I can’t keep up with it now adays. Pink, green, cheese…although I must admit the Nalts/Katie picture is the cutest thing ever! :o)

I got nothing to say, but hi and [click] my blog unless you hate America
Very amusing. I never saw the round/blue YouTube.
WTF!!! My google reader has been broken!!!
