Below is an email interaction I had with Lookery and then with Rockyou. I am still awaiting responses from Slide. I hope this helps clear some questions up....Did i sound unfair in my questions? I don't want to sound bias but one side has a little bit more personable Customer Service. Lookery Rex I have been getting feedback that the most I could expect is the minimum? Is this true? If so what is the value of utilizing Lookery over other providers who may payout as much at .35+ cents. Thanks-… Continue

They are "focused on bringing technology and helping start-ups in Tulsa" Tell me what you think about this discussion. Optimistic me: Facebook and other social networking sites are allowing developers and start-ups to capitaliz… Continue

Facebook is to Developers what eBay is to Power Sellers (Great Blog Post!) Thanks LEE Facebook is the Perfect Path to Profits for the Pluckiest Programmers on the Planet EBay’s genesis story relates how Pierre Omidyar’s passion for his girlfriend led to the creation of the planet’s first person-to-person marketplace for purchasing Pez dispensers.

So there is a Green Country based Start-up called Zigbeef. Apparently they use RFID to track cattle through shoots. I learned on my daily call with Karl Rove today that the Homeland Security agency is currently checking its capability to utilized this technology to track brown people and older feminist, such as Diane Feinstein.

Sitting working on analytics of Icontsi, I am hit with a sense of wonderment. How did San Jose become what it is, and Palo Alto? How did Austin become what it is today? Fate? - some predetermination from an Almighty Being? Could it have been a conscious decision of city Elders working in conjunction with the best and brightest of Nextgens. Think about this: Tulsa Metro Resources Multiple Technological Trade Schools University that is heavily recruited by DOD and Homeland security for C… Continue

Honestly though, Tulsa presently doesn't have a ton of resources to put towards this. Unless we come together in a more grandeur scale we will continue to lose precious resources to other cities. Which I think is bullshit. I appreciate groups like The Tulsa Ruby Group and others. These guys are reall… Continue
