Governor Palin's speech at the Republican National Convention last night corresponded with a dramatic increase of tweets per second. This graph represents hourly update activity on Twitter over two days this week. Like hurricane Gustav on Monday, and Google's new browser launch on Tuesday, Palin's official nomination acceptance on Wednesday is another example of Twitter being used in real-time during a massively shared event.

Filed under: Laptops As we've seen countless times by now, the folks behind the Commodore brand will stop at nothing to keep the venerable name alive, and they've now finally hopped on the biggest bandwagon going, with the UMMD 8010/F marking the company's first foray into the netbook game. Unfortunately, apart from that familiar logo, there's not too much that stands out here, with the netbook packing a 10-inch screen, a 1.6GHz VIA C7-M processor, ...Shared by Adrian (4) Alvin A.

Publishers should all have a /covers directory (23)

Boing Boing (2698) permalink
Here's a lazyweb idea for publishers: I often blog books here and when I do, I like to put up a picture of the cover. Normally I get these off of Amazon or Amazon UK, but it's often the case that Amazon's covers are grainy, missing, too small, or otherwise unsuitable (for some reason, an enormous number of Vertigo graphic novels have the wrong cover on Amazon). So here's the idea: publishers should create default ...Shared by !&# (17) Adam (16) Angela (8) cerement (2) cesaracardoso (69) Clay (40) D4rKr0W (5) DOCBook Howto (97) Dominik (27) Glutnix (7) Hokai (10) kelsey (7) Maarek Stele (33) pr1000 (11) px (14) Rahul Das (5) RJO (14) Robson Rotten (6) Scott (2) Simon (4) StevieB (37) steyblind (4) Tony Ruscoe (13)- Tony Ruscoe said: This would make things so much easier for CoverBrowser.com to grab covers too! :-)
