Please excuse the harsh language in this video, however, I had to share it with you as once again Carol Bartz is my hero… I caught this interview yesterday via the Techcrunch Disrupt event livestream. Bartz was being drilled repeatedly by the very arrogant Michael Arrington and let fly with the ever-familiar Bartz-F-Bomb – indeed over the years there’s been many engineers and CAD professionals at Autodesk events that have heard this from her, although having it directed at someone like Michael Arrington makes it all the more enjoyable – the only downer part of this is that Arrington is getting tons of coverage from all this, although check out the look on his face in the video… I swear the guy looks like he darn-near soiled his pants! Well done to the Yahoo! CEO – indeed she’s definitely at the top of my list of Silicon Valley CEOs that I’d love to have dinner with some time! Enjoy – warning: if expletives offend you please skip watching this video and don’t bother shooting the messenger please.

Go.USA.gov enables Government users to create ,share, track short urls
An awesome resource with some great finds via http://go.usa.gov/. The web service enables users to track and monitor the most popular short urls being used to point people to various government resources. Go.USA.gov lets government employees create short .gov URLs from official government domains, such as .gov, .mil, .si.edu, or .fed.us URLs. Currently in Beta, Go.USA.gov registration is limited to people with .mil, .gov, .fed.us, and .si.edu email addresses. So far more than 8,500 urls have been indexed! http://go.usa.gov/
FYI, tiny (or short) urls are commonly used in social media sites these days so that people can easily share long, ugly urls with others via social media – this is particularly useful on Twitter where users are limited to 140 characters.
