Twitter says Barack Obama Nobel Price Itself a Joke

President Barack Obama has won Nobel Peace Prize !!! has taken many people by surprise, including the President himself, who held a brief press conference this morning to discuss the award.

One Billion Users Per Day YouTube

When your website first reaches a million visitors, it’s a great milestone. However, one billion views per day can only be attained by the selected few, and YouTube is now one of them.

According to the official blog, YouTube is serving “well over a billion views a day”. That’s at least 11,574 views per second, 694,444 views per minute, and 41,666,667 views per hour. Imagine the web server farm that can withstand that much traffic, and then remember that YouTube is just one of Google’s many properties.

As we wrote earlier this week, YouTube still may not be making enough money to justify the 1.65 billion dollars Google has paid for it, but it definitely makes it up when it comes to visitors.

Redux Turns Your Twitter and Facebook Streams Into Pure Entertainment [Invites]

Bring Your Twitter and Facebook Streams to Life

In its last iteration, Redux was already an extremely solid social entertainment engine. Using the site or the handy bookmarklet(), users could share photos, videos or links with their friends or in a specific interest channel. Other users could then comment on those items, give props and share those links via Twitter, Facebook or MySpace().

Now, Redux has added the ability to import your Twitter() and Facebook streams directly into Redux. What this means is that when your friends tweet or share a link via Facebook or Twitter, instead of just seeing the short-url, you’ll actually see the item being linked. If it’s a video, you can play the video immediately within Redux. If it’s an image (like a TwitPic()), you can view it immediately within Redux.

Redux only grabs tweets or status updates that are linking to other content, so you don’t get bogged down with other status updates. Your friends don’t have to be Redux members for their public streams to show-up and you can still give props or comment on the content. If you comment on a tweet, for instance, that comment with a link to the source is sent out over Twitter if you choose. As they like to say, “it’s the most efficient way to waste time on the web.”

Prepare to Lose All Productivity (in a good way)

---

Redux is totally addictive — and it’s designed to be. I find myself having to tear myself away, otherwise I’ll never get any work done. That’s not that different from a lot of other social services, except, in my experience, Redux kept me entertained and discovering cool stuff.

When I talked to Frank Nawabi and Daivd McIntosh — the co-founders of Redux — earlier this week, they told me that one of the reasons they created the service was because it was so difficult to find good videos and good content on services like Vimeo() or YouTube().

It makes a lot more sense to see what your friends or people who share your same interests are sharing or watching, rather than trying to sift through a pile of videos — no matter how “popular” they might be.

Frank and David told me that the average user spends over an hour on Redux at a time. I can believe it! Especially with something like the TV Mode, which just continuously shows you videos from your friends, the overall network or from a specific channel, becoming sucked into the service isn’t hard.

The Future

---

The site has grown pretty organically and the Redux team reaches out to the community to get feedback on what’s working, future features, etc.

David and Frank told me that they are looking at brinigng the TV Mode of Redux to something like Boxee() or set-top boxes in general — and I think that this could be brilliant.

I have Boxee running in my living room and being able to tune into to the best web content from either my friends or a certain channel would certainly be a great way to relax and waste even more time!

Stop listening to me wax poetic about Redux and try it for yourself. Mashable() readers can go here to sign-up for the beta.

Give Redux a try and tell us what you think! Do you like the idea of a visual social web?

Use an Old Linux Computer to Put your Baby to Sleep

If you are not a geek, let me explain the logic of this very simple program.

The program will first auto-eject the CD-ROM drive of your computer and then it will close that open tray. This open-close loop will run forever unless you terminate the program manually.

 

 

while [1 = 1]
 do
	#eject cdrom
	eject

	#pull cdrom tray back in
	eject -t
 done

Now the interesting part — using just these four lines of code, a geek turned his old Linux* computer into a baby rocker.

He attached a string between the tray of the CD-ROM drive and the baby seat and as the tray would open and close repeatedly, the smooth movements were enough to put his baby to sleep. Awesome.

[*] you are not on on Linux, you can build a similar Baby rocker program for Windows using Autohotkey software.

Top Seven Political Secret Girlfriends

So Indecision asked me to write a list of women who have had infamous sexual relationships with political figures.
“Oh, like political mistresses?" I asked.
“No. More like Secret Girlfriends,” they replied.
“Secret Girlfriends? What? Why would you call them that?”
“Oh, no reason.”

#7 – William Rufus King
Senator from Alabama, Vice President under Franklin Pierce, and according to some, President James Buchanan’s lover. “Where’s my proof,” you ask? To which I reply, “Proof? Really? This is the internet.” In any event, Buchanan was our nation’s only bachelor President and he did live with King for quite some time. Need more? Well, apparently Andrew Jackson used to refer to King as “Miss Nancy.” So there’s that. Although I must confess that even in the 1800’s “Miss Nancy” seems like a pretty weak slam on a guy you’re trying to paint as gay. Is that really the best Old Hickory could do? More like “Old Dickory,” amirite? See what I mean?

# 6 – Monica Lewinsky
No list of secret girlfriends would be complete without Monica Lewinsky, but as someone who was cognizant of political humor in the 90s I don’t know what I can say about it now. Every cigar-inserting, dress-staining, fat-girls-give-good-oral joke has already been made a hundred times. I just don’t want to go there. And it’s not just because there’s a chance I might bump into Monica at synagogue. It’s because I lost my virginity to her. Yesterday. What? Don’t look at me!

#5 – Callista Bisek
You might not recognize her name, but Ms. Bisek is the woman House Speaker Gingrich was showing his little newt to while simultaneously leading the charge against President Clinton for the Lewinsky scandal. And don’t get your hopes up that Bisek was some double agent hoping to expose Gingrich’s family values hypocrisy. Bisek actually married him. But that might just be because "Mrs. Gingrich" has a nicer ring to it than "Newt-Fucker."

#4 – Rielle Hunter
Say what you want about John Edwards, but he sure had sex with another woman while his wife was battling cancer. And that woman was Rielle Hunter. You might know her as the woman John Edwards said he didn’t have sex with. Others of you might recall her as the woman he later admitted to having sex with. I’m still not sure whether or not her baby is his. Did we get confirmation on that? In any event, I do know one thing. That affair ended those rumors about him being gay. Oh, and his political career.

#3 – Ashley Dupre
Now, I’m not sure if you can really refer to a prostitute as a “girlfriend,” but I just couldn’t make this list without Elliot Spitzer’s dangerous-sex-for-money-girl, Ashley Dupre. Why go to a pro? I’m guessing Eliot liked to play certain games reserved strictly for professionals. Role play scenarios like “you be the embezzling Enron exec and I’ll be the minority shareholder who gets screwed over by your dirty dealings. Your dirty, dirty dealings. Inflate assets! Hide the debt! Golden parachute, mmmmmmmmmmmmm….”

#2 – Marilyn Monroe
How can the most famous woman in the world be a secret girlfriend? I’d tell you, but then I might ruin the good thing I have going with Queen Elizabeth. Much has been made about JFK’s alleged trysts with the blonde bombshell, but Marilyn’s greatest contribution to the study of secret girlfriends might be in establishing the high water mark for my theory: “The Ever Decreasing Slope of Presidential Tail.” As exhibited by this chart, applying my theory (with a sample group of two) we can predict, with no chance of error, that Barack Obama will reveal his secret girlfriend to be Paula Abdul some time in late 2010.

#1 – Maria Belen Chapur
I don’t speak Spanish, but I’m told “Belen Chapur” means “woman so hot she can make a mildly retarded South Carolina governor disappear.” For six days in 2009, Gov. Mark Sanford went “missing” while getting some face time with his Argentinean mistress. Like in Argentina, which surprisingly is not as discrete a location as you’d think. When Sanford returned, he confessed in an overly sentimental news conference and was greeted with calls for his resignation. Still, Sanford’s fraudulent alibi for his whereabouts during those six days –“hiking the Appalachian trail”—will surely go down as one of the greatest euphemisms for nookie in the history of dirty secret sex politics.

Twitter’s Road To $1 Billion Part-1

 

circa 2000 – 2001, Jack Dorsey comes up with an idea These pages now hang framed in Twitter’s offices. Cofounder Jack Dorsey told the L.A. Times he drew them up around 2000 or 2001. "It was crystallizing the thought: What if you have LiveJournal, but you just make it more live? You have these people watching your journal, but it all happens in real time, and you can update it from anywhere. That document was an exploration of that concept."

May 2006, Twttr launches Before it was Twitter, Twitter was Twttr. It was also green and white before it was blue and white. Jack Dorsey explains says name about because "We wanted to capture [a] feeling: the physical sensation that you’re buzzing your friend’s pocket. It’s like buzzing all over the world." The Twttr to Twitter transition actually has to do with (now) old-fashioned telephone keypads. "In order to operate SMS you need the short code to operate with this cellular administration. So we were trying to get "twttr" — because we could just take out the vowels and get the 5-digit code. But unfortunately Teen People had that code -– it was ‘txttp’ [Text TP]. So we just decided to get an easy-to-remember short code [40404], and put the vowels back in." del.icio.us Tags: twitter,twttr,techcrunch,first tweet,twitter lunch,jack dorsey,billion
