• Just what MySpace always needed: more junk—MySpace Apps Are Go For All Users
• CNET says that T-Mobile will have an Android phone by year’s end. But despite Google’s progress in developing the mobile OS and desktop apps, they’re so not planning a desktop operating system.
• Word to the wise: if you run a somewhat “serious” tech news site and post something that might actually be entertaining, too, like “Yahoo ‘Refunds’ Disappointed Search Advertiser $9 Billion. Now, That’s Customer Service!,” expect a silly amount of backlash. That’s right, because TechCrunch (and Marketing Pilgrim, too) is up there with the New York Times when it comes to a serious journalistic standard. Geez.
