????“說到泡沫這個問題，首先從定義上看，在泡沫破裂之前，你是不知道究竟有沒有泡沫的。十年前我為自己定下了一個規矩：如果媒體說有泡沫，我就會留心。”

????——埃里克?施密特，谷歌執行主席【科技博客TechCrunch (TechCrunch)】

????上面這番話是施密特在今年的太陽谷峰會上講出來的，這番話似乎暗示了我們現在正處在一輪新的科技泡沫中，不過風投家馬克?安德里森卻并不這么認為。在同一次訪問中，安德里森還炮轟了電影《社交網絡》（The Social Network）的編劇阿倫?索金。“阿倫?索金完全不能理解馬克?扎克伯克或Facebook的真正心理。在索金構思的世界里，只有社會地位、性和嗑藥才是最重要的事。”【《紐約時報》 (The New York Times)】

????"On the general question of bubble, in the first place you don't know it's a bubble until the bubble ends, by definition. The rule I set for myself 10 years ago was that if the press calls it a bubble then I'd pay attention."

????-- Eric Schmidt, Google executive chairman (TechCrunch)

????Though Schmidt's recent comments (see above) at this year's Sun Valley conference hints we've got another tech bubble on our hands, venture capitalist Marc Andreessen argues otherwise. Also in the same interview, Andreessen takes a shot at The Social Network's director. "Aaron Sorkin was completely unable to understand the actual psychology of Mark [Zuckerberg] or of Facebook. He can't conceive of a world where social status or getting laid or, for that matter, doing drugs, is not the most important thing." (The New York Times)

????谷歌的Google+問世還不到一個月，但已經有了450多萬名用戶。這個數據是保羅?艾倫在初步的核算后得出的——可千萬別弄混了，這位保羅?艾倫是一位連環創業的企業家，而不是微軟的那位同名同姓的共同創始人。艾倫將于今天晚些時候公布完整的計算結果。【谷歌(Google)】

????Google+的創意來自Facebook的一位開發員。Facebook有一個“Circles”功能，意為“圈子”，它可以使加入了某些自定義群組的用戶在群組內實現內容的分享。“它同時綜合了情感因素和興趣因素。人們可以把他們認為有用、有趣的內容分享給接受內容的人。比如說我的其他朋友可能很反感我向他們推薦跟網球有關的內容，不過如果我有了一個‘網球愛好者’圈子，我會很樂于把所有討論網球的內容都推薦給圈子里的好友。這樣一來，人們就可以在不同的圈子里分享自己感興趣、但以前又不便分享的內容。”【在線廣告服務公司Momentus Media (Momentus Media)】

????It's been out less than a month, but Google + could already have upwards of 4.5 million users. That's what serial entrepreneur Paul Allen -- not to be mistaken with the Microsoft co-founder of the same name -- concluded after some preliminary numbers crunching. He'll publish his complete findings later today. (Google)

????Google + thoughts from a Facebook developer. On the subject of the fledgling social network's "Circles" feature, which lets you share content with customizable groups of people: "A very interesting combination of 'emotional glue' and 'interest glue.' People will share content they feel is relevant and interesting to the recipients. If I have a 'Tennis Lovers' Circle, I'd be happy to share and discuss all the tennis content that would normally bore my general friend group. This should enable people to share niche content they would have previously stayed quiet about." (Momentus Media)
