“Today we hit the 2,000,000 users within our first year of operation and we are very happy and excited”

Congrats to Jajah, they’re an awesome service. Not sure what they are? Have a glance at this:

Great post and find by Valleywag on a new AOL search called “FullView”.   Check the Powerpoint slides (that AOL forgot to remove from their site) to see what goes into selecting a brand name and service.

Good god, no wonder they suck ass.

Twitter seems to have been down for a bit. It’s getting pounded by users, and Steve Rubel of Micropersuasion pointed out that it was basically unusable today because of the slowness.It’s an interesting thing, this Twitter. It’s best described as “microblogging”. Others refer to it as the “uber status message” ala AIM. I think it’s a great communication tool, and it was very helpful at SXSW.

I’m sure they’ll be adding servers soon, as twitter has already become a big part of daily routines in the geek world. That’s not always an easy thing to accomplish, but hey, these are the lads who created Blogger.

Oh this is hella hot. It’s a custom “iPhone-like” interface running on an Eten M600 PocketPC. Amazing how they got the screensaver/lock thing to work!!!! [found on gizmodo]

Rand called for it, Paul dreamed about it, Brandon can’t wait to use it.   And now it’s here.

The “OhMiBod” (with the tagline, “Feel the Music”) is the first iPod powered Vibrator.   And NO I will not do a product review on this one, but we’re open to hearing anyones um……experiences with the device.

It even comes with a lovely case!!!!!

Here’s what the website says:

OhMiBod is a sleek, sophisticated new generation of vibrator that
combines elegance of design with the excitement of your favorite music.
The audio enabled integrated microchip allows the OhMiBod to vibrate to
the beat and rhythm of your music while you listen. Measures 5 1/2″
long (insertable) and 1 1/8″ in diameter. OhMiBod comes with an
additional multi-speed endcap for use without an iPod or music player.
It really is 2 products in one! Our motor provides strong yet quiet,
intense rhythmic vibrations. With polished chrome detail and pearl
white body this product is the ultimate iPod acsexsory!
