It’s Thanksgiving. PUT DOWN YOUR IPHONE. If your family is anything like mine, that’s what you’ll be hearing this holiday. And we won’t be alone. 59% of us Americans (it’s probably even higher among the people on this list) will check work email over the holidays. 15% said they will be thankful for the distraction work email provides them.
More random awesomeness below:

It’s finally here! After months and months of waiting and wondering and wishing Path would come out of “stealth,” it’s finally here!
But what exactly is it? And do I want it? Or need it?

Videos sell products. Even if consumers don’t watch them. Even the presence of video content on an e-commerce page can help drive sales. How’s it work? People have more confidence in products that offer up videos. It means that the brand trusts it’s product enough to demo it for all to see and that you have made an investment in the e-retail experience.

Games are everywhere these days. Video game consoles, hand held devices, on our phones, even on our search engines. But one emerging trend is shifting gaming from something that happens on a device to something that happens in real life, with a device. Why just go to a bar when you can go to a bar, score points, earn a title and beat your friends? Games that take place in real life have been around forever – scavenger hunts and Killer are two examples of games layered over real life. But even happy hour at bars are a form of offline social gaming (just watch the video below if you don’t believe me).

Last night Facebook launched Places, their location-based service that let’s you check-in to real life locations and tell all your friends. It also lets you tag your friends in the check-in just as you can tag them in a photo or in a status update.

We all know at least one person who isn’t on Facebook because they think it is creepy. They think it is “stalker-ish” to know everything your friends do or say online.
But I think that it’s much creepier to read People magazine or US Weekly, or to watch Entertainment Tonight.

Not so long ago if you had a question for, or a problem with, a company you had a few recourses:
And it used to be that a person who has a good experience tells 3 people, but someone with a bad experience tells 10 (or something like that).
But now that’s all been flipped on its head.

If you aren’t as nerdy as I am, and don’t read blogs like Mashable and TechCrunch you might not have heard of Diaspora(pronounced “DYE-ASS-PORE-UH” not “dee-uh-spore-uh”). Diaspora is currently the darling of the start-up world. Having raised over $200K from “the crowd” on Kickstarter by promising a new type of social network where all your content lives on your computer and not on someone else’s server, right as the Facebook privacy debate was at a fever pitch. Initially asking for only $10 grand so they could live in NYC and code all summer they got much more than they bargained for – even getting a donation from Mark Zuckerberg himself apparently.
