🔗 New ‘Ex-Elon’ ETFs exclude Tesla and SpaceX from indexes
… had to happen.
🔗 Ideas from Daniel Jalkut. It’s an issue I have come to live with - because historically when I have tried something similar - it has royally messed up my App Store.
Maybe something has changed? Time to look again?

🔗 John Battelle’s Search Blog Who Stole My Alpha?
The term is borrowed from the financial sector, where “alpha” represents the excess return or competitive edge a particular investment yields over what the market might usually return (this is where the leading finance publication Seeking Alpha got its name).
… I’d often wondered.

I think what’s new is that we finally have a constituency with the power to oppose the wholesale appropriation of data that’s been the mainstay of the tech industry these past few decades. Unlike consumers, who willingly ceded control of their data for the convenience of tech services, corporations are terrified of sharing information that might expose their strategies, competitive edge, or weaknesses.
Ummm .. maybe not all .. but a lot of ‘consumers’ (I prefer ‘people’) were not willing .. they just didn’t have the power to fight back.
🪦 Farewell Bonnie.

Every ‘Differality’ I have 🖇️🔎 ever posted (these just on Micro.Blog) - and more - all put together in 🔗📼 a single SNL sketch - brilliant. 😂

If you are reading this post on my site, you will see that this link is rendered as an embedded video at the bottom of the post. (THANKYOU @rknightuk]. It will render just fine - unless the video owner wants you to watch it over on YouTube (and to be fair - there are very good reasons for that). If that happens, click on the link above and you will be taken to YouTube. The 'error' is only because the creator wants you to got to YouTube to watch it. That said - on rare occasions, it might actually be broken. If it is - sorry about that - try sending me an email and I will check if I made an error.

On September 28, Doc Searls wrote a post entitled DIY Radio with Podcasting. I couldn’t locate a subsequent post where he did a Google search and found zero hits for the term, predicting that there would be a lot more, as the idea caught on.
So it was Doc that coined the term?
👁️ Arriving to a fanfare of trumpets yet only managing three shots in 92 minutes - only one of which was even on target - and finally being substituted with 9 minutes to go.
Result? 4 -1 against you.
Dear Tяump - this is what karma looks like.

I missed Bending Spoons going public a week ago. Who knew that a failing software company could use its last bit of cash to buy another failing company and from there build a portfolio of failing companies and 10 years later have an IPO that values you at - as of today - $23Billion. Kudos. The Computer Associates of the new millennium.
If you use Evernote, Vimeo, Eventbrite, AOL, Meetup, Issuu, StreamYard, Brightcove, AOL, WeTransfer and many more - you are using Bending Spoons.
Two thoughts
- Glad they added a ‘P’ to the end of their ticker.
- I agree - not all failing - ‘Distressed Assets’ might be more accurate? Still - all needed (still need?) Help.
Stop Blaming Failure On 'The Kids'.
Too many people blame declining club/society membership on the ‘kids don’t want to join.’ That’s not the problem ….
