How do you buy a blogger ?.....a fast car is a good start !

I have followed Guy Kawasaki's work online for a couple of years and always found him to be innovative, interesting and thought provoking - Alltop is a great site so it was really diappointing to see his entry on his blog entitled "How to change the World" extolling the virtues of the Audi R8 along with over 30 (yes thirty) photos of the car which was loaned to him by Audi for a week or so.

To be fair he says that they asked for nothing in return and therefore are no doubt delighted with the coverage but it all feels a little dirty to me - surely an influential and respected blogger should not be bought by the cheap thrill of a sexy sports car without comment or insight ?- or maybe the R8 really is going to "Change the World" !

Ever wondered how often you "get busy" with others ....or yourself ?

I blogged in the past about weird social networks but when I saw this site things really can't get any weirder !

As Springwise describes it "Bedpost is an entirely personal application, password-protected from the prying eyes of others, and stresses that it offers absolutely no social networking features. Rather, it is a way for consumers to keep track of the sexual encounters they've had by logging in and entering some key details after each one. Users begin by creating a profile for the partner involved in their most recent encounter and then clicking on the calendar to indicate when the encounter happened. Then, they enter not just the time it happened, but also how long the encounter lasted, some descriptive tags and a star-based rating of the experience. The site then records all that information and presents it in a map of activity for the month on the user's dashboard. For a historical view, Bedpost tracks summary statistics including frequency, average rating, and totals for the month and year so far.

Hilariously "Solo sex" tracking is also available ! Sensibly (and I guess pretty integral) they have been very specific about privacy and data and instead of hiding the privacy policy in a link at the bottom of the page they have made it very clear on the home page. There is a point that all the data is kept by third party companies so they cannot absolutely guarantee that your closest darkest secrets don't end up in a skip or worst still in the inbox of your closest friends !
