Yaybia Weekly Link Love: February 14-20, 2009

ON THE WEBS
  • Facebook caused a short-lived crisis when it changed its TOS, then quickly reverted.  Dude, it's the internet.  Do you really expect that the things you put online on a free service are going to be yours forever?

  • Budweiser realized they were a beer, not a network, and yanked bud.tv.

  • We agree with Gawker; 30 Rock needs to tone its product placement down a notch.  We know you don't really love McFlurries, Salma & Alec.

  • If you grew up with it, it's not new media.

ON YAYBIA
  • Dilly bars?  Check.  Yaybia ladies?  Check.  Cutest little girl of all time?  Check.  The only thing missing was the Kittens Inspired by Kittens book, which lives in a cabin up north.

  • Microsoft is to Walmart as Apple is to Target.  Yep, that analogy just got even better.

LOVERS & FRIENDS
  • Aki at the Fallon Planning blog gives us 6 ways brands can successfully have a Twitter presence.

  • Advergirl is back, and bringing the snark!  We're diggin' it.

  • Awesome post by Dirk that outlines blogs as the keys to viral success.  Our interview with Maddie & Al echoed this--blogs like Boing Boing, Buzzfeed, and Cute Overload blew up their hits.

LAWL
  • Amazingly well-written, insightful, and analytical blog about Obama.  Well, his neckties.

  • Go add the Nexus Facebook app right now!  It maps your friend universe and you will spend the better part of an hour staring at the connections.

  • Best Week Ever's list of 100 silver foxes is long but worth it (that's what she said?)

  • Youshouldhaveseenthis.com is the "Collect the Whole Set!" of the Internet.  I've seen most of them.  I intend to complete the list this weekend.  I'm awesome.

Good news!! 30 Rock's McFlurry story line wasn't played-out product placement. apparently they were worried about getting sued--

RE: Silver foxes

Keith Richards is testament to living clean or the inverse of that. Where's Michael Jackson on that list? Former sexiest man of the year Clooney is #81? I'm down with Bea Arthur at #2.
