CaseCamp: RocketBoom Producer Breaks Silence

Andrew Baron is a smart guy. When the RocketBoom Opera touched the highest level of controversy, Andrew preferred to remain a mute spectator enjoying the Amanda Unboomed video.

Now that the storm has settled, web gurus have other important things to discuss and Joanne Colan is geared up to occupy Amanda's seat infront of the famous Rocketboom world map, Andrew has decided to hit back at Amanda. He calls his version of the story as CaseCamp:

Setting aside all of the drama of Rocketboom going down right now, there are a few facts I wanted to set straight because nearly every writer on the face of the internet seems to not know.

Fact: Out of all the scripts in the history of Rocketboom Amanda has edited nearly every single one, but over 95% of the scripts on Rocketboom have been written by me [Andrew].

Fact: Over 95% of the directed episodes in the history of Rocketboom were directed by me.

Fact: I have found/picked over 90% of all of the stories that we have ever used.

The blame game is clearly far from over. Andrew is clearly following Amanda's every single move since Amanda Unboomed is the first website in his blogroll. Stay tuned for some more drama and action.

How to Download Contacts from Facebook To Outlook Address Book

Facebook users are not too pleased with the "walled garden" approach of Facebook. The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry.

How to Download Contacts from Facebook There are still some options to take Friends data outside the walls of Facebook wall.

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
