    Action-Packed Weekend? 

    Wow…

    First, the news that Amazon [AMZN] will be preparing to roll out their Android-based 7″ Kindle Tablet… That’s quite a bit o’ buzz. The market cornered by the Barnes & Noble’s [BN] Nook Color anti-neo-hybrid reader/tablet is about to get a shot across its bow, courtesy of Amazon. And this is well in advance of anything that Google [GOOG] itself may have thought to launch. They’ll probably even have a press conference, or at least a press release about it. To make an impact, it’d have in ready inventory supply before the holiday shopping season to pick up the target audience of people looking for an iPad alternative, a more amenable reader, and/or a secondary/tertiary/quarternary tablet device.

    Second, in light of the PC and Sony [SNE] PlayStation 3 release of the Rezurrection DLC, Call of Duty Black Ops will have another Double XP + Nuketown 24/7 Weekend on XBox LIVE!

    Third, there’s still time to wrap up the Halo Reach Weekly Challenge on XBox LIVE!

    Fourth, there’s that new Red Dead Redemption “Myths & Mavericks” DLC, with its hardcore matches now available on XBox LIVE! And to top it off, there’s a Triple XP Weekend for em>Red Dead Redemption until Sunday!

    Enjoy! :-)

    Chrome Doesn’t Like Web AIM? 

    In case you were wondering about this issue, since several of you have been experimenting with Google’s [GOOG] Chrome browser:

    I fired up a newly-installed Chrome on a late-model Windows PC to see how it would act, but when I went to AIM.Tell.im to try out our Web-based AIM client, the browser failed on the credential authentication panel.

    Uh-oh! ;-)

    If you need Web access to AIM, give your other Web browsers a shot.

    Google Nexus One Press Conference Today 

    As reported by Engadget, Google [GOOG] has announced that they will hold a press conference (“a gathering” of sorts) to discuss their comings-and-goings with Android and, presumably (based upon the recent reporting) the upcoming Nexus One smartphone.

    Sure, the Android based phones have been out for quite some time now…

    But the curiosity and excitement around Google’s [GOOG] Nexus One smartphone seems to be reaching a, sort of, fever pitch.

    Makes you wonder whether Apple [AAPL] will have some new iPhone/iPod touch news to deliver that will take some of the shine away from Nexus One… Or perhaps the hotly anticipated news about a Mac tablet form factor will grab the spotlight…

    Google’s Smartphone Hardware Gambit 

    Now that Google [GOOG] has finally ‘fessed up to attempting to enter the smartphone market, a la Apple [AAPL] and its iPhone, the cell carrier of choice appears to be, once again, T-Mobile.

    Tags: Adobe, Google, Omniture   

    Adobe Systems [ADBE] has announced that it will buy Omniture [OMTR].

    While it sounds like a great deal for Omniture, it does not quite make sense for Adobe, except for the oddity known as tracking Flash access metrics. Flash is an oddball interpreted secondary-runtime based display technology that has lasted quite some time, with gradual changes to its performance and development aspects.

    Does expanding outside of its graphics roots to encompass Web metrics allow Adobe to bolster its development tools portfolio, or does it place the company squarely in the targeting sights of Google [GOOG]?

    YouTube to Sell Ads on User-Generated Videos 

    You knew it was going to happen eventually… YouTube [GOOG] would have to follow in the footsteps of other Google properties in using some sort of ad-based revenue model.

    It’s coming now: for user-generated/uploaded content, YouTube/Google will somehow ask users whether they would like to allow ads to be applied to their videos, and if yes, then those users would get a bit of the ad revenue.

    Is Google’s [GOOG] new “Caffeine” going to cause problems for the respectable netizens of the Internet? And how bad will it hurt disciplined SEO mechanisms?

    Which is better: Google Analytics or WordPress.com Stats?
