- Aussie health groups in Queensland have slammed rocker Robbie Williams for smoking onstage during his recent concert in Brisbane. A Queensland Cancer Fund's employee Susan Greenbank said: "Robbie's a very bad boy and there are a number of staff at the Queensland Cancer Fund who are more than willing to give him a stern talking to about this,""It's disappointing he chose to break the law."(But) that's probably indicative of his attitude to most things ... he's very 'I'm Robbie Williams I can do what I like' - it's just consistent with the rest of his behaviours, so it's probably not that surprising. |

- Yahoo! and comScore Networks published a study this week illustrating the power of the so-called "brand advocate," or for those that don't speak Corporatese, the people on the Internet that like you and talk about how much they like you on blogs and social networks. They don't even need a check or a free pair of Nikes.All they really need is credibility and if enough people give it to them, then they just keep on talking as if anybody really cares. But they do care, because most people aren't interested in painstaking research, which these brand advocates are always doing, most people just want to know what works and what doesn't and hope it doesn't take all day to find out. |

- Google's "Flickr", Picasa Web Albums, added the ability to add tags, and also, to search your photos (and it seems only yours, or those albums you added to your favorites, which kinda sucks - my favorite Flickr feature is still their Creative Commons search).Another new feature is that you can now order prints, the Google Blog announces. Join the ongoing forum thread. [Thanks TonyB and Inferno!] Tag: |

- Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates invited a slew of influential Web 2.0 bloggers to a one-hour, anything goes summit meeting this afternoon. While a bevy of topics were discussed, one item that rose to the forefront of discussion was the controversial topic of Digital Rights Management (DRM).Well, it looks like Bill Gates has come to the same conclusion that digital audio enthusiasts the world over have been proclaiming for some time: DRM is a terrible, flawed system that ultimately punishes the consumer. |

- I find it ironic that in a search of who is linking to Mashable's report about StumbleUpon that a splogger is there using MY blog post (a splogger is someone who uses a system to automatically copy blog posts from other people).But notice that neither Google nor Technorati have my own blog post displayed right now. Here, take a look. Technorati at 12:18 a. |

- Venture capitalist Paul Kedrosky is predicting Yahoo can outperform Google in 2007.His reasons include:Yahoo needs to grow earnings faster than Google to regain investor interest It can do that by cutting costs, growing audience, acquisitions or improving monetization (or some combination of all four) It is easier to drive monetization than to increase audience markedly, and acquisitions are a mug's game without better monetization tools. Cutting costs is a non-starter. I agree that Yahoo's likely hit the bottom and is ready to bounce back, but I'm not convinced they'll be able to gain enough momentum to outperform Google in the next twelve months. |

- With more pressures on bloggers to disclose their business relationships, Weblog Tools Collection points to a neat Wordpress plugin that helps bloggers set up their own disclosure policy.Just last week, I added a disclosures page on Marketing Pilgrim, so there would always be a place where you could view my relationships with any company discussed (in case I forgot). With pay per review becoming a hot option for bloggers, it seems that if you want to blog with integrity, you should disclose who you're in bed with. So, what do you do on your blog? Do you have a disclosure policy? |

- Research firm Gartner has predicted that the growth of the blogosphere will peak at about 100 million by the mid-point of 2007.Gartner rationalizes that most people who would ever "dabble" with blogs have already done so, and many of them have given up. Steve Rubel's report of Gartner's assertions attracted some interesting comments disputing the claim: "Please don't make me go through the history of really, really bad predictions by Gartner." "(Gartner's conclusion) assumes a static population of internet connected individuals. |

- How much time do you spend on the Internet? Do you have trouble breaking away from games like World of Warcraft? Is your virtual life becoming more important than your real life?

- Off lately Google has introduced a new service, Google Patents search engine through which people can search full-text of US patents dating back to 1790 till middle of 2006.More filings of 2006 year will be added to the service that will follow by weekly updates. Although such a kind of search service is given by US Patent & Trademark Office but Google service has more advantages as a group product manager at Google, Bill Brougher said " We've really applied the Google experience to it. It's easier so you don't have to apply the fielded searches. I think it will open up patent search to a lot of non-lawyers. |

- The concept of consequences associated with an Internet that is not neutral has been scattered and nebulous, difficult for the layman (and, unfortunately, Congressman) to understand why it matters, and proof of concept has been rare or insignificant. Thanks to the Pirate Bay and a Swedish ISP, that proof of concept may be before us. Blocking Internet Access For Others Though the Russian website allofmp3.com is legal under Swedish law, an ISP named Perspektiv Bredband, based on a somewhat arbitrary moral conviction, blocked its subscribers from accessing the site. This move cheesed off (herringed off? |
