- 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.

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.
