It might not be good news for Google people (and I’m sorry guys) but its good news for preventing Bubble 2.0.The latest in a series of abrupt downturns in Google’s stock followed CFO George Reyes’ answer to a question during an investor conference Tuesday hosted by Merrill Lynch in New York.But I have to admit that I predicted this (at least somewhat).The key points are:After hailing the results of an 18-month effort to boost advertising revenue, Reyes predicted it will become increasingly difficult for Mountain View, California-based Google to maintain its rapid growth pace.”Most of what’s left is just organic growth, which means you have to find ways to grow your traffic,” Reyes said. “Clearly, our growth rates are slowing, and you see that each and every quarter.”Of course these are all fickle day traders.

Anyone else notice a significant uptake in Typepad trackback spam?I wish they’d implement a blacklist so that I can block trackbacks based on regexp…. Of course spam prevention is a big issue so they might be able to charge more $ for it.

Turns out CNET backed out of sponsoring SF Tech Sessions (though they’re still hosting it).CNET is no longer sponsoring food and drinks for tonight’s event. I don’t mind sponsoring soft drinks and water for 100 people (might cost $75-$100) but I cannot afford to feed the entire crowd on my own.So Niall was cool enough to setup a paypal donation form so that the Internets can help fund the event.

Mike Sansome has written up a great post on how to setup RSS Autodiscovery with FeedBurner.If you’re using FeedBurner to track your feeds, are you sure that’s how readers are subscribing?… Even Seth Godin may have some tweaks to make.Before writing on FeedDemon 2.0, I decided to delete all feeds and start from scratch (I’ll explain why when I post about FeedDemon).

Jackson West has a killer post about Wifi coffee shops being the new VC incubator and I like the term “Going Bedouin” which has me thinking.Let’s organize a San Francisco Wifi Bedouin Flash Mob. With our collective dollars we can prove we’re serious about giving a ton of cash to the coffee shop that does what we want.

I think it would allow you to seriously climb the blog rankings fast and actually make money being a full-time pro-blogger.If you’re a blogger looking for an edge send me a private email. I’m not going to give this idea too just everyone so you’ll need to prove you’re worthy.

Looks like the latest build of Flock uses Yahoo search by default and not Google…. Yahoo is paying Flock to ship their search engine.I personally think it’s #2 since Google pays the Mozilla foundation to do the same thing.

Coffee to the People is a cool coffee shop in the Haight which seems really open minded about improving their service…. They also need to seriously fix their wifi.If you guys have any other suggestions about what would make a killer coffee shop I’d suggest adding a comment.
