Tiny bubbles (tiny bubbles)
In the wine (in the wine)
Make me happy (make me happy)
Make me feel fine (make me feel fine) 

Via Groundhog's Day and Infothought, Wikipedia has a secret mailing list:

The irony, Tobias points out, is that in using this mailing list, the Wikipedia inner circle is guilty of the same behavior they're trying to fight. "They're villainizing the so-called attack sites because these sites are promoting pernicious ideas about Wikipedia," he says. "The argument is that when a bunch of like-minded people get together, they're sounding boards for one another, and they end up getting way off base because there's not an opposing viewpoint around.

"But you could say the exact same thing about this secret email list: a bunch of like-minded people are encouraging each other's possibly wacked-out views and, in the end, making trouble on Wikipedia."

Tiny bubbles (tiny bubbles)
In the wine (in the wine)

Kara Swisher links to a video, We Didn't Start this Bubble, which is both very funny and scarily prophetic.

Make me happy (make me happy)
Make me feel fine (make me feel fine) 

In the meantime, I received a copy of Nick Carr's The Big Switch with the old tag line, Our New Digital Destiny. I love free books, and since Nick is a good writer, I'm looking forward to reading the book and then writing a review.

Note to all: if you want to give me free stuff, I'll write about it.

When I'm not channeling Don Ho, that is...
