Things I read today that I found interesting and worthy of comment June 4th:

• Time Puts Twitter on Cover, at Vanguard of American Economy (Ryan Tate/Valleywag – Gawker) – Hugely LOLing right now. Figures the moronic marxists at Time would think a company with lots of buzz and no business model in sight is at the Vanguard of Anerican Economy! Kind of like how all those trillions of "stimulus" money is actually going to get the private economy moving. At least their stupidity / insanity / blind-commitment-to-socialism is consistent. Gotta give them that. So far, the only business model around Twitter are what other businesses are doing with it. I'm not saying Twitter isn't building value, but only as a message transport mechanism. Is TCP/IP or SMTP or FTP or SSL at the "vanguard of the economy"?
• How Twitter Will Change the Way We Live (Steven Johnson/Time) – Everyone I know tired of the breakfast cereal type updates after their first week using Twitter or it's kin. Also if this guy's experience of using Twitter in a conference is "life changing", then he either hasn't really been on and around internet tools for very long or has a really hideous life. Just sayin'.
• By puzil – Picture of the day.
• ThoughtFarmer, Cultivating Social Intranet Software – I have no specific comment on this particular article other than to comment on not even being passably interested in reading one more thing about "social-net-anything".
• Palm Pre Review Roundup – Good to see someone providing something that may drive the iPhone to greater heights. For now, neither the Pre nor the iPhone give me an itch to give up my BB Curve.
• Adapter plays HD files off of any hard drive – So if you don't have an Xbox or PS3 to stream video from your home network to your TV, this is a pretty cool, though manually intensive (attach / remove hard drive from PC) way to watch video on your TV.
