Listen to Your Shoes, and Watch the Internet Tonight
Mark Twain said death and taxes were two of life's certainties, but so too, apparently is the march of technology, whether we want it to or not. Hence, today's No. 1-2 most-used phrases in blog discussions bring home the point: Google's AdWords program is now incorporating video, and the blogger at European Underachiever Tails has a demo and some questions about the program's impact.

The other venture of note is iPod and Nike teaming up for the high-tech equivalent of musical shoes that keep track of your workout. Apple's Web site, with complete details as always, is today's No. 4 most-cited link, and Nike's web-site video is No. 7. Not surpsiringly, the resulting discussion is already heavily international in tone. And in a weird position of juxtaposition is today's no. 9 most-cited link from iDont...a campaign to un-do the herd mentality around iPod and its products. Good luck with that.
