Shut up! Announcing your plans makes you less motivated to accomplish them.
Tests done since 1933 show that people who talk about their intentions are less likely to make them happen.
Announcing your plans to others satisfies your self-identity just enough that you’re less motivated to do the hard work needed.

I’ve never seen a CEO (even one of a small Web company) open up to take direct calls. Pretty cool.

Twitter with a Brain: Proxies and APIs
Suppose that the user wants to un-follow “pottymouth” for 24 hours.
I long for a way to temporarily follow and un-follow people and trending topics. The magic suggested in this article would enable much more than that, but this would be a useful start. [via DF]

Together: The New England Electronic Music Festival
February 8-14th, clubs around the city will celebrate TOGETHER: The New England Electronic Music Festival.
For one week, the Boston electronic music scene will join up as never before. Dance bands, avant-garde aficionados, electro maniacs, anarcho-artists and techno mafia will loose their labels, loosen their inhibitions and lose their minds.For one week, the Boston electronic music scene will join up as never before.

Google Social: search results from people you know
Whoa: search results from people in your various networks based on what they’ve broadcast publicly. Searching for something mundane like “Brooklyn food” (no quotes), I get all these mentions of “Brooklyn” and “food” from people I’m connected to on Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. Suddenly, that random restaurant someone raved about on Twitter four months ago is relevant again, because the recommendation is right here in my search results.
Once you’re enabled it, search for something. If you don’t see social results after searching, click “Show options…” near the top of the screen and select “Social” under “All results”.
