I think it was the right move, too. Naivete is not an attractive feature in a potential president.

hey @sumaya & anyone else interested in status update cross-posting (very sexy!). Just heard from Sean at ping.fm. New code is “mightyping”.
WatchIf you fancy, check out the ‘Future of Online Content’ panel I was on last night. If you’d prefer info about the event before clicking on the video, Forbes and one of the blogs I visit regularly, the LAist (yay!), picked it up. The video begins with an interview with the guys from Tiger Team after a screening of their TruTV show and then continues with the panel.

Watch‘Mitch” tells stories about Russert. Beautifully said! What happens if a tear trickles down, I wonder… that must be a big no-no.

I am so sad about this. It is great to see how many people on tumblr recognize how amazing and important Tim Russert was. Sunday mornings were my Meet the Press time, religiously.

The power of one, people. I’m telling you. One person can make a real impact. I didn’t always believe this— I had my doubts— but I see it as true more and more each day.
