If the big company announces something why don’t you take advantage of it and point out what you do better than the big company? That’s what Intermedia.net just did by posting “New Google service offers 24/0 support for business users.” I linked to it because it shows why I am advocating for Podtech to switch to hosted Exchange instead of sticking with Google’s suite of services.

On the other hand, check out how Steve Gillmor enters the conversation with “Beam me up, Sergey” where he posits “can we start watching more carefully who insists the Google Office strategy doesn’t exist?”

Back at ya!

Oh, aside, how did a Microsoft employee (Dare) take over top billing on TechMeme a few minutes ago on a story about Google? Damn him for taking over the conversation! Heheh.

Yeah, I can hear the PR folks in Mountain View, CA, popping the corks on their wine bottles saying “who cares, we got the New York Times!” while forgetting all the influencers that brought Google to this party in the first place.

Videobloggers Jay Dedman and Ryan Hodson visited Technorati with a video camera and got a nice little report from the people who build that blog search engine.

Too much Google talk today. Whew, I think I just went overboard there.

I just found Daniel McVicar’s video blog. This guy is funny. Not quite as funny as Ze Frank, but funny in his own way. Subscribed!

He is a former soap opera star who comments wryly on blogs and other things. Plus he interviewed Craig Newmark lately (founder of Craig’s List).

Oh, what’s this? Flickr is announcing new geotagging? Damn, didn’t they get the memo? Don’t announce anything when Google declares war on Microsoft. No one except us little bloggers will pay attention and you won’t have a hope of getting to the top of TechMeme.

Thomas Hawk, who is one of my favorite photobloggers, has more on the Flickr announcement.
