The Tiananmen Square Massacre occurred on June 4th, 1989, and it appears that the Chinese government is going to mark the 20th anniversary in its own special way. Within the country, access to just about every major social media site has been blocked.
Mark Cuban To Yahoo: Acquire Everything
The holidays are, to be honest, a bad time for tech news. With many of their employees either taking time off or shopping from their desks, companies don’t do a lot that needs to be covered. But if Mark Cuban has his way, Yahoo will provide plenty of material by going on an acquisition spree.
Microsoft Wants To Live Mesh Everything

I’m guessing the people who usually jump up and down don’t understand it, and the people who will be working with it aren’t given to jumping up and down.
Transparent Media and Wikify Everything
Chris Anderson is on a roll about transparency and six tactics for transparent media:
IT Services Outsourcing When You Don’t Know Everything
IT services outsourcing is what you need to do when, not if, your prospects ask for products and services that you are not able to deliver.
Social Bookmarking – It’s Not Everything
There was some buzz about social marketing lately, and, coupled with the link bait issue, it may form quite an impression that creating content to spread virally and to get links and Diggs is the way to go.
