I know I’m late to the table with this one, but that’s what happens when I don’t get lots of comments. Maybe if my readers threw a word or two my way then I’d be much more likely to talk about dumptrucks… I mean Tubes.

If you haven’t already heard, Senator Ted Stevens recently shared his very unique view of how the Internet works, and it involves not just one, but a whole series of tubes. What he failed to share is that they’re actually Music Tubes.

This whole mockery has obviously been very traumatic to the Tubes team, and we’ve had to shut down 3 out of our 10 research facilities due to bouts of depression.

Hopefully this whole thing blows over soon and we can keep our name, and I can focus my energy back on M&A activities.

Go ahead and watch the videos for yourself, but don’t think for one minute that those aren’t Music Tubes because they are. Either Ted Stevens is a deceptive little bugger or he’s a $%^&*(&^%$#$% liar.

Not really, but there are no girlfriends around the Meetro HQ. Last time I checked women weren’t too fond of urine stains on the couches Okay kidding aside, this is a great article on how the employees of social IM company Meetro live and work. I know Paul Braigel because we talked a bit about stuff before they moved out here to Cali. He’s a cool guy and I really do think that Meetro is ahead of it’s time. When the Meetro-style functionality reaches a critical mass it’s going to be MySpace all over again, at least I hope. I wouldn’t mind meeting the single women who live down the street from me Props to Dan the Tubes designer who sent me the link for the article which you can read here.
