While waiting for the bus on thursday, I’ve been surprised by a British Airways advert on the bust stop. It features a satellite photograph of the city of Nice.
On the top-right corner, there was a big “courtesy of Google Earth” text written.
Today I saw the advert on TV which showed a typical Google Earth navigation between 2 places (London and the BA destination in the Middle East)

Google is really everywhere.

I’m already using the google search box in Firefox regularly for conversions and arithmetics, and recently I’ve discovered you can lookup definitions by using “define:” before the word you’d like to define.

Few weeks ago I was reading that MySpace was claiming more than 109 millions users.
My thoughts at that time was:

That’s a lot of users. How many of them are

• spammers, scammers and viral marketers
• virtual accounts created by mySpace to sexify their market value
• one off account created by individuals that wanted to see what is it about
• created out of boredom and where holders main activity is silent browsing of strangers profile
• duplicate accounts of forgetful legit users

And this morning I found that on Digg:

MySpace Not So Social Anymore: “MySpace is no longer a social site, corporate spam-peddlers have taken over. Fake celebrity profiles, corporations posing as 13 yr-old girls to sell products, and a growing flood of ads is too much even for undemanding, noobish MySpace users. If something isn’t done, it’s only a matter of time before MySpace goes the way of AOL.”
