Still looking for that Hulu invite? They decided to offer 2500 public invites through selected blogs. Get them while you can. They are going fast…
TechCrunch – Already ran out
GigaOm – 1766 left as of posting
ReadWriteWeb – 2207 left as of posting
Ars Technica – All 2500 still available as of posting
The above list ranks the mega bloggers in order of douchbaggy-ness.
Update: Mashable also was graced with their very own 2500 invites.
Amazon.com released their editor’s picks of the best albums and best songs of 2007. I was delightfully surprised that New Moon by Elliott Smith is number 8 on the album list and High times ranked 36th on the songs list.
Driftr.com is a new traveler centric social networking site. I just got my invite last night and gave it a quick spin around the block.
The alpha release has a nice and polished Web 2.0 design with plenty of AJAX. As it is still a alpha release, many of the features are still not enabled. The site lets you log the time, place and details of the trips you have taken and organizes them via a visual map display or chronological drop down list. You can upload photos directly to driftr.com or link your flickr photos to their site via the flickr API.
Driftr allows you to enter places you stayed as well as places you ate at which I guess will eventually allow them to build a database of user reviews to compete with Yelp.com.
The current implementation is very basic but it has promise assuming more useful features are added. A few that come to mind are trip planning and peer recommendations. I’ve got a few more invites so let me know if you want to try it out.

Anyone listened to the latest TWIT? I know, I know, who the hell listens to this circle jerk podcast anymore… I was desperate! OK?! It was at least comical when Web 2.0 douchbag Jason Calacanis called those trippy distorted letters on registration pages ‘CATCH-PA’s. Skip to 8:24 to hear the Sequoia Capital golden boy create podcasting history.
BTW, the guys at the online backup startup Mozy can’t be too thrill neither when the Bulldog referred to them as ‘Moxy’. (Skip to 45:30).
I always have tons of crap in my car and many of my crap need 12 volt power to keep it useful. Even though I have 3 outlets in my truck, I could use more. After looking around for some options I came across this one on Amazon.

Well. I just wanted to tell you that I am NOT going to get this one.
