I Want to be Productive in Retirement
Three times this week, newly retired friends have talked to me about empty days. They all had had demanding jobs. No matter how much they now travel, babysit for grandchildren, exercise, or play cards, tennis, and golf, they say something is missing.
The Cameras Are Always Rolling
The Kardashians
Kris Jenner knows nothing lasts forever. She is milking The Kardashian shame, I mean fame, for all it’s worth. She is willing for all the dirty laundry to hang out just to insure the entire clan’s financial future. In fact, the dirtier the laundry the better. So what’s a little sex tape among friends?
$30 Million to a 17-Year Old? Not So Fast
Nick D’Aloisio, creator of Summly
Last week, DigiDame told you about Yahoo buying a news-aggregator for $30 million that had been created by a 17-year-old student. Turns out the story may not have such a happy ending. News just broke that there may be a copyright situation going on.

1) Facebook Intro’s a Smartphone
2) Kris Jenner Calls the Shots
3) Google Expands Alerts
The Google Public Alert System
Google wants to be your go-to source for everything that involves “alerts.” Starting immediately, Google is going to provide alerts from police, fire, and emergency management agencies.
Google is working with Nixle, a subscription service that sends alerts to cellphones and social media platforms. There are 6,500 police agencies that use Nixle. Those agencies currently serve more than 150 million people, but only two million people currently subscribe to Nixle, so that number should increase dramatically.
Momanager Is the Centerpiece of the Kardashians
Kris and Bruce Jenner
Kris Jenner calls herself “momanager.” She came up with that name when she realized that she was not only a mom to six kids but also their business manager. She jumpstarted Bruce Jenner’s career as well.
Get Ready for a Facebook Smartphone
Facebook’s New Smartphone
The decision makers at Facebook have discovered that more people use their mobile devices to post photos, write comments, and wish each other happy birthday than from computers. If that’s the case, Facebook wants to produce a smartphone that features their social network up close and personal.
