Off Topic

But sorry it was too good, and at the very least, you must watch to from (thanks, Steve) 3:00′ish.

Take the Test

I was totally taken by surprise by this one.
(A little further research has revealed that it was created by WCRS, and that there is some controversy over the originality of the idea. What a shame.)

Corporal Punishment

I love the film Kes (1969). It was still modern when I went to secondary school, nearly ten years later  - some local authorities were still trying to get it banned when I was teaching in the 90s, and it’s still modern now. This scene, where the poor messenger boy from the second form gets [...]

Ending my recent responses to the Hitwise Consumer Generated Media report (social networks and photos previously), this is what’s happening in the Web 2.0 video sharing space. Recently acquired by Google, YouTube remains firmly at the top of the video-sharing space, the [...]

Bebo Looks For Revenue 2.0

An interview in the Sunday Times yesterday said that Bebo head Michael Birch seemed prepared to wait before earning much money from the service:

Birch, 36, is almost dismissive of the need for Bebo to generate revenues at this stage. For the next two or three years, his priority is to establish the firm as one [...]
