Everyone a Re-Publisher
I’ve produced an experimental social media news page using Feedly Mixes. You can embed this sort of thing into any site you like.
As you can see, it grabs and mixes up the content from selected RSS feeds – a list of sites covering the subject, as chosen by me. It then ranks the articles according [...]

Anti-Social Bookmarking
It’s been a little while since I wrote on this topic, but social (and not-so-social) bookmarking is on the rise again.
Remember Diigo, Blinklist and Magnolia from all of two years ago? No? And at least 122 others who wanted to become the social bookmarking standard. They all lost to delicious and improved services from mainstream [...]
Places and Spaces
We call the Internet a place. We go to sites. Marketing people talk about destinations.
But that’s rubbish. The Internet is with me, and increasingly with most people, all of the time. It follows us as we go to other places. Increasingly, it helps us to navigate those places. You have probably seen it already, but [...]
Free Tickets for Behavioural Targeting
I have five free tickets for the NMK Behavioural Targeting event, next Tuesday evening. We’ll be looking at the likes of Phorm, Specific Media and so forth and the opportunities they hold for advertisers and publishers, and also the threat to privacy that they may or may not represent.
Leave a comment to get one of [...]
Sweded
Just watched Be Kind Rewind on PirateCity. In the interests of research, I tested an illegal video service that streams movies for free. The quality is fairly poor – somewhere between YouTube and Vimeo. And not ideally, I watched this widescreen movie in 4:3. Jack Black seems a lot slimmer nowadays.
As I am sure you [...]
Better than Abandonment
I introduced my colleague Alan to the term ‘Abandonware’ today. As a net-savvy individual, I was surprised he’d not come across it before. But, then again, it’s only really current among gamers.
Abandonware is software that has been given-up by its original developers and publishers. Normally, it applies to old games which fans still love, but [...]
Serious Games and Things
If you start a job as an oil rigger, then there’s a 50% chance you’ll have a reportable accident within the next six months. After that period, the risk drops to 5% or less, as you get to know the ropes.
That’s quite frightening for potential oil-riggers and for people in the oil and gas industry [...]
Viral WoW
Blizzard, the company behind the most successful and profitable entertainment franchise in the world*, World of Warcraft, held a mini-conference in Paris last week to announce that a second sequel to its Diablo series – Diablo III – was in development. Unlike a lot of press conferences, they invited along lots of fans, active forum [...]
I’ve Got a Tiddler
A TiddlyWiki, of course. You can see my very small TiddlyWiki here [no I don't any more] or a more impressive example from Jeremy Ruston, who created the thing, at the main site.
It’s a sort of wiki – but wait, come back! There’s a few interesting differences from the sort of wiki software you might [...]
Google = Rubbish (Heh)
So, apparently Internet Explorer 8 is available for download, according to my twitter colleagues and a certain Mister Gates.
But don’t search for ‘ie8′ with Google, because you’ll get this:
One half of the screen is a search for news about ie8. The next suggests that I was probably searching for IE7. None of the remaining four [...]
