@amanda - ha, no. It was FriendFeed. They were voted best new startup of 2008 at the Crunchies award ceremony. Nothing to do with me, I was just excited on their behalf.

I've eaten most of the Clementines that Ana bought for the FriendFeed office.

I realize this may be somewhat of a naive question, but can someone tell me where the money goes during a recession like this? By that I mean, it seems like pretty much everyone (individuals and companies) have lost money from their savings. If it is a zero sum game, where did the money go?
... and if it isn't a zero sum game... well, then I'm even more confused, because it sure seems like it should be (ie, the total number of dollars in circulation should be a finite amount at any given moment).

The main issue in the U.S. (beyond the sliding dollar! and unemployment / underemployment) that affects boom or bust is availability of money. When anyone can borrow cheaply the economy expands; when most can no longer qualify for credit (like now) it doesn't matter how low the interest rates are - few can borrow so they can't spend.

I figured I need to do my part as an American, and encourage people to consume. I just got this Roku player, and I'm already a huge fan. It streams movies from your "Instant Play" Netflix queue, and lets you watch them on your TV. Super simple, and yet perfect. I love when companies just get things right.

Do you think Steve Jobs, Eric, Larry and Sergey actually get sent their 4 cent biweekly pay checks?
I bet they do - with the itemized deductions and all.

I wonder if their bank calls them. "Sir, in order to maintain free checking with us, your direct deposit amount needs to be at least $100 every month..."
