Pilgrim’s Picks for May 19

Monday, May 19th, 2008 by Andy Beal

It’s been so long since the last Pilgrim’s Picks, I’d almost forgotten how to put it together.

Here are today’s Picks:

AOL closes its $850M acquisition of Bebo. It’s likely its ad deal with Yahoo won’t be renewed in 2009.
Are we going to get themes for Gmail? How about just letting us decide where to place our signature file–that’s all I need!
Is your industry one that is more likely to suffer a reputation crisis? Maybe you should be monitoring your reputation.
Wetpaint get’s $25 million in new funding and puts it to use by offering embeddable social media content.
Remember Joost? Don’t feel bad, no one does. That’s why the company is making a few announcements.
Get Elastic reminds us that we should consider enticing US consumers to spend that windfall tax rebate.

I’m not so sure about themes Nicole, what I would prefer is something as simple as not having to group messages.

(Or is it me that is simple and have missed an option to adjust that?)
