POPSWeb pioneer Gross revitalized by green energy Bill Gross is the Ron Popeil of Internet entrepreneurs...or perhaps the failed car man and innovator Preston Tucker ;) I am excited to see what he will do with his alt energy incubator. Maybe he will once again innovate enough to help shape the green economy. But, with regard to his claim of becoming more disciplined than he was in the 90's...I'll take the under. Good luck Bill, i'm pulling for you!

POPSPolice find cocaine in car used by officers LOL...knuckle heads. Can you imagine the phone call to the guy/girl who bought the other car at auction? Think anyone would ever admit that?! "Yeh, hi...its the Dallas Police Dept. By any chance did you find about 50lbs. of cocaine in your car when you picked it up?" ;)

This commitment to the business of alt energy - specifically wind powered energy - could lead the way for the next wave of major investment capital. Very exciting.

POPSIs Amazon's Kindle about to Tip? hmmm...2,500 four-year universities in the U.S. The author of this article says Amazon has a long way to go. I say, that's 2,500 highly qualified "Glengary" leads to go after! I can hear Bezos now..."We're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anybody want to see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired. "

He also echoed the words of P&G's CEO who came out against the candidates for using the media to create added fear. Definitely worth viewing the interview available on CNBC's site...

POPSFounders of Flikr Quit Yahoo! Not surprised. They must be terribly frustrated that they sold their company to Y!. Even more so now considering that a deal with Microsoft never got done...too bad.

POPSFriendfeed the Next Google?! Steve Rubel makes an interesting argument. For me the last paragraph in the story says it all...the founders know how to scale a product like this; they were all team members at Google and helped to launch such products as Google Maps, Adsense, GMail and Google Groups.

POPSBo Diddley: R.I.P. Sad to see this great music legend go. Glad that he was able to enjoy the fruits of his labor that finally came when he was well into his later years. Thanks, Bo...Rock n' Roll owes you a debt of gratitude for your gift.

POPSFacebook to open-source platform This is an exciting time as the web 2.0 companies jostle not only with each other, but with the big three: Yahoo!, Google, and Microsoft. In what feels like a good old NASCAR race, the FB/MS team just fell into a drafting position behind the Open Socials...but its still early in the race.

POPSGet Satisfaction...Gets it. Great example of a web 2.0 company that has identified a real business need; this new service (overheard) is a natural extension that leverages their knowledge of the social web. Not sure how or if they make money, but my hats off...Bravo.

POPSWhat CNET could have been Former CMO of CNET takes stock following the sale to CBS. Integration of a company with a very different culture is always difficult. In this case, he points to the acquisition of ZDNet as the catalyst that brought about the demise of CNET's innovative spirit and strategic compass.

POPSComScore Ranks Google No. 1 for First Time Good news for Google, but we have high expectations for big G. What i find intriguing is the fact that users spend more time with Yahoo!. These guys have been portrayed as that gang that couldn't shoot strait but damn, they must be doing something right. I still think the MS deal gets done to unlock the hidden value in Y!, especially now; they do not want Carl I. stirring the pot inside their kitchen...
