“Ask peo­ple what their favorite web­site is, and increas­ingly you’ll hear Hulu (at least in the US). The NBC and Fox-backed online video ser­vice just kicks ass when it comes to con­tent, inter­face and over­all exe­cu­tion. And now it’s appar­ently going to attempt to trans­late that into a kick­ass iPhone app, accord­ing to Busi­ness Insider.” Oh man, Hulu on the iPhone, that’s life.

“Lamar Adver­tis­ing, the third-largest bill­board com­pany in the U.S., got all Twit­ter­pated yes­ter­day when it rolled out “Fol­low Ash­ton Kutcher” across its national net­work of 1,133 dig­i­tal bill­boards with hours’ notice.” I saw one of these in Lub­bock, TX.

“Pres­i­dent Obama will be nam­ing Aneesh Paul Chopra as his choice for CTO dur­ing tomorrow’s weekly address, accord­ing to a press release posted to the White House’s offi­cial web site. Chopra cur­rently serves as Virginia’s Sec­re­tary of Tech­nol­ogy, and has pre­vi­ous acted as the Man­ag­ing Direc­tor for the Advi­sory Board Com­pany, where he advised exec­u­tives on health care oper­a­tions.” Bout time.

“‘The Inter­na­tional Mon­e­tary Fund has for­mally approved a $47bn (£32bn) line of credit for Mex­ico. It is the first coun­try to get the credit under a new fast track scheme designed to help devel­op­ing nations cope with the global eco­nomic crisis.”

“Banks in Mis­souri and Nevada were seized by reg­u­la­tors, bring­ing the total of fed­er­ally insured failed banks to 25. The total equals the num­ber of banks shut­tered in all of last year, as the reces­sion dri­ves up unem­ploy­ment and home foreclosures.”

Oh IE “what” is always your answer.

“1. New treat­ment to the behav­ior of Digg short URLs. All anony­mous users, on or off Digg will be taken directly to the pub­lish­ers con­tent via a per­ma­nent redi­rect (301), no tool­bar, straight to the site. Logged in users that have not opted out will con­tinue to see the Dig­g­Bar (200). These changes ensure that con­tent providers receive full search engine ‘juice’ or credit for all links on and off Digg. They also ensure that Digg short URLs won’t appear in the indexes of any major search engines.
2. Because we want to ensure the best user expe­ri­ence, the Dig­g­Bar will soon only be shown to you when you are logged into Digg. While the vast major­ity of Digg users find the Dig­g­Bar valu­able (only a very small num­ber of users have dis­abled the fea­ture or hit close with any fre­quency) we under­stand that many folks were con­fused when opt­ing out. We want you to be able to have the option to per­ma­nently dis­able the Dig­g­Bar with ease.” Good job Digg.
