Hunter S. Thompson writes his last piece

Inventing Shotgun golf was the last project of brilliant Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson. Sunday night he used a gun to end his own life. Doc Searls writes: It may take awhile for the distractions to evaporate, and for the good doctor’s constructive contributions to achieve the recognition they deserve. So here’s a head start: He opened journalism to the rest of us: I have a theory that the truth is ever told during the nine-to-five hours. If I’d written all the truth I knew for the past ten years,

Google Mail cranking up the invites

Google Mail changed their interface for invitations some time ago, and now its apparent why: Most, if not every, Google Mail user now has 50 invites to give away! The question now is if this is a prelude to opening Google Mail up for anyone to register.
