Tuesday, I was at Blogging:A Real Conversation, run by NMK. I’m still writing a post to try and summarise my thoughts coming out of the conference; meanwhile, Lloyd Davies has pulled together a wiki as a central place for blog posts, audio and photos.
More Google stuff
They’ve been busy. Google have released 2 further applications this week. The first is Google video. THois has been coming for a while, as they have been requesting video submissions. Now they release a search method for them. Each video appears to have documented metadata and transcripts (as far as possible) which are searchable. To […]
Earth maps
I’ve been playing with NASA’s WorldWind for a while. It uses the LandSat images and Radar Topography to give you 3D images of the big features. The information is good, you can switch views with ease, but performance has always been a problem for me. I fail to finish most sessions as server connection usually […]
PU
Or Political Uncorrectness. In amongst stories about graffiti artists turned fashion designers and Porn Stars mkving into clothes modelling Adrants have a story about a new T-shirt company whose designs will probably shock anyone with an politically-correct streak. Read the Adrants story first – then go to the site.

Testing

XXX
Amongst ICANNs preliminary approval of some new Top Level Domains, (.cat, .jobs, .mobi, .post, .travel), I think using .xxx for pornogrpahy sites is just wonderfully ironic.
Movie recommendations
In a similar way to Amzaon, Yahoo can now offer a personalised choice of movies based on you rating a selection. It presents you an initial list of 4 or 5, you rate them and then it provides a selection of other titles. You can request not to be shown titles again, or continually refine […]
And finally
Lot’s of stuff posted today. During the week I sometimes have less time than I would like to capture things. So today, I’ve been adding posts in-between all the housework. And now I have 2 final things. Blogebrity Something brewing in the world of magazines..or is it. With a blog, a blogroll and a very […]
Messengers converge
I see Yahoo have released a new beta of their Messenger. It’s integrated with Yahoo360, so that you can add blog entries directly to your Yahoo blog whilst chatting away without having to go to a browser.
Tiddlywinks…
aka as GTD Tiddlywiki, I just want to call it Tiddlywinks. A nice, all in one HTML file that is wiki-sh in nature but can be run from the desktop, for To do lists and any other kind of lists you want. It prints to small sizes, to allow easy to carry notes. For fans […]
