Yaybia Weekly Link Love: January 19-23, 2009

Welcome to our first of many weekly recaps, where we'll harness the rumblings of the interwebs into one post for your reading pleasure.

ON THE WEBS: In case you were under a rock and/or wasted all week (it's ok if you were!)

• We got a new President on Tuesday!  Google searches took a nosedive while we watched his speech, and a lot of us were watching online.  J9 talked about Facebook/CNN connect and how awesome it was.  To bring the federal government into 2009, the new administration overhauled whitehouse.gov at exactly 12:01pm--and it looks rll good.
  
  
• Another bad week for print as 3-year-old Wondertime magazine went under and Google nixed its newspaper ad network.  
  
  
• Google brought video to Gmail chat windows.  Anyone who knows what I mean when I say "AIM Aptus" is dying inside.
  
  
• Mashable posted awesome examples of how Twitter can help you IRL.

ON YAYBIA:

• Lam & Lib teamed up to give AgencySpy readers the lay of the land of 10,000 lakes
  
  
• The University of Minnesota embraces blogging and Twitter. Go Gophers!
  
  
• Click in the next 10 seconds and we'll DOUBLE YOUR ORDER!

LOVERS & FRIENDS: Shoutouts to our loyal readers and fellow bloggers

• Jacey and the crew at space150 hosted Deepspace 2009 Trends
  
  
• AS brings us more State of the State posts from Chicago and Denver.

LAWL: Links Lam and I sent each other in Gchat all week

• Be good, kids.  The President is watching...
  
  
• BOB! HELP! 
  
  
• We. Love. The. 90s.

Yaybia Love from NYC

Last night Lam, D, and Tsang enjoyed drinks with Matt from AgencySpy in NYC.  Turns out that ever since The Great Nipple Post of 2008, Matt has been a big Yaybia fan.  Today he posted an awesome call for AgencySpy readers to share advice with us industry newbies--and even hinted that interested parties should offer Lam a job!  I can't lie, I nearly had a heart attack when I saw the Yaybia logo under AgencySpy's.  Made me feel like our little blog is growing up, aww...

Thanks to Matt for the link love and help in getting us career (and blog) advice!  And Yaybia readers:  what's the best piece of job-hunting advice you've ever received?  Comment!
