Phoenix rocks a Parisian tour bus.
For the latest edition of La Blogotheques’ “The Take Away Shows,” Phoenix took to the streets, tour buses, and bridge underpasses of Paris to run through a few of their simple, impeccable pop songs. The reactions are fun — blank stares from seen-it-all tourists, head-bopping from members of a wedding party, fan gushing from a miniature-Eiffel-tower salesman — but the clips are mostly great for how understated and handsome they are, and how well they work as accompaniment to the tunes. Sometimes, it’s just about appreciating the prettiness. (Via)

Mob Rule! How Users Took Over Twitter
In an amazingly short time, the messaging service — which does little more than circulate bursts of text limited to 140 characters to a list of people who have chosen to receive them — has established itself as a staple of social networking, commerce, electioneering, celebrity culture, public relations, media, and political protest.
I’ve read a lot of crappy articles about the evolution of Twitter and this one seems to be the most spot-on. Twitter has figured out what Facebook hasn’t: “Let your users decide what they want. When you try to make that decision for them, expect hell to follow.” Twitter has done that by integrating user-created staples of the social networking site such as hashtags, @ replies and re-tweets.

I’m a sucker for these in-the-net, fisheye shots.

I get it!
Any pun/joke that makes a Hooters girl so passionate she wants to sue someone is okay in my book.
