Well, it's been too long since my last update and I have a lot of ground to make up. So, let's get right to My Electronic Morning Observations for today:
- Heard an ad on local radio this morning from US Cellular touting it's free incoming calls, texts and pics. But the interesting thing was they mentioned you could also keep up with your Facebook page via a mobile application on your phone. Obviously, this service isn't exclusive to US Cellular customers, but to hear them advertise it because they believe it will help them reach a specific target demo (in this case, college students) was refreshing.
- Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama announced his running mate would be Senator Joe Biden over the weekend. The news leaked early Saturday morning, well before the campaign had planned. So it sent staffers into a frenzy to make the announcement via text message as the campaign had promised to those who had signed up to receive the eagerly-awaited breaking news. See Obama's text message to supporters here.
- The games of the XXIX Olympiad (as Bob Costas would say) are officially over. Here's a follow-up story on how the games fared online.
- But forget that for a second....how about Jimmy Page rocking Beijing/Bay-jing/Bayzhing/Bayshing???? Bring back Zeppelin...one night only...Omaha, NE. Make it happen.
- And on a sad, truly tardy note, I must take a moment to say goodbye to the soul of the Dave Matthews Band. R.I.P. LeRoi Moore.
