Here at Zukmo HQ, we are happily jumping through hoops each day trying to solve the problem of information overload which will be an exponential bother in the future. However, the thing bothering us today is the information overload about that supposed future.
Recently we have been noticing online media outlets of certain stripes going viral with their semi promotional trend castings. Overwhelming our embedded tubes are glorified mirages of their slanted visions and thunderous sound bites from their decaying wisdom teeth. So, we decided to pull the wool over the crystal ball and tell it like it might be … Read the rest

The Qwiki Experience
Today, I got an invite to try out Qwiki’s alpha release. Qwiki, was the winner of this year’s Techcrunch Disrupt held in San Francisco in September 2010.
Getting mentioned by Techcrunch has been the marketing holy grail for so many startups. There are several articles on the web that talk about the different ways one could grab the attention of Techcrunch. The only way to get that attention these days seems to be to get funded by a silicon valley Venture Capital firm. As one startup founder laments:
“a mediocre competitor launched in LA, raised $12M, got their mandatory

TechCrunch’s Subliminal Messaging (Conspiracy?)
Subliminal advertising has always been the more talked about part of subliminal messaging. How about subliminal messaging through search results?

A tale of two (data) disasters
If you had a blog on Journalspace but rarely updated it, now’s the time to pat yourself on the back!
Following a data debacle, the blogging platform ceases to exist and the domain name is now up for sale. All this unfolded over the last 2 weeks when the ‘main database’ that held all key information (including the labor of love of many bloggers) was wiped out after it was unrecoverably written over – ostensibly by a disgruntled IT administrator. Techcrunch has the details.
Oh, and they hadn’t backed up their main (SQL Server) database – and they’ve been … Read the rest
