Ignoring the terrifying fact that it’s Friday the 13th and my yogurt this morning was clearly expired long before its November 26 sell by date (spooky, no?), the Internet had a pretty good week.  And by good week I mean I found lots of things that were interesting to me, and in the name of social capital, trust and altruism, I share them with you.  Aren’t you lucky?

• Robert Scoble has an excellent post about how Twitter lists have become his main news source, essentially mitigating RSS and standard info consumption models completely.  I find this fascinating personally, because most of the really fresh news I get via Twitter, but I can’t see RSS being marginalized just yet.  I’ll need time to play with this, because it’s truly disruptive, as least as far as my workflows are concerned.
• Want an effective ward against the heavy omen of Friday the 13th?  Want to also tear up a little, but in a good way?  Watch this video of a dog welcoming home a US soldier from Afghanistan.
• Tim Burton animates the MoMA logo. Fantastic.

• Gartner estimates the worldwide smartphone market share.  In a nutshell: Apple grew YoY from 13% to 17%; RIM from 16% to 21%.  HTC grew from 4.5% to 6.5% and Samsung held on at 3%.  Nokia dipped from 42% to 39%.  As John Gruber says, now is a great time to recall the words of Steve Ballmer, only two years ago: “There’s no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance.”
• Slate’s Michael Agger decided to have some fun with Google’s search box, and the results are both awkward and fascinating.  As Rafe over at RC3.org says, it’s a search engine confessional of sorts.
• Check out the designy barcodes appearing in Japan.
• How you can avoid an untimely death.  I particularly like #2:  “Never get on a 4-wheeler ATV, as they have produced more quadriplegics than anything else.”  It’s worth reading the whole list. (via kottke)
• Speaking of design, Apple has overtaken Nokia to claim the profit crown in the mobile phone industry.  MG Siegler has a great piece about Apple’s pursuit of profit rather than raw market share.  You should read it.
• The New Yorker’s Elizabeth Kolbert tears SuperFreakonomics authors Stephen Levitt and Stephen Dubner up one side and down the other on the pair’s geoengineering chapter of their latest book.  Ouch.
• A man, distracted by a low-flying pelican, drives his $1.6M Bugatti Veyron into a salt marsh.  Part of me died reading this.  (Thx to Chris for the heads-up)

I think I’ll end it on that.  Have a good weekend, everyone.
