LOTD: May 25
I'm not really a fan of lists of links, as I'd rather actually say something with blog postings, but given my slackeritude on this blog here and there, I think it's best if I at least share all the things that are flying through my feed reader and inbox. Given that Mike, Steve and others have been throwing 'em out there, I feel no fear about going into the dark depths ahead.
So here goes nothing.
- "Apparently, Web 2.0 is a trademark,"writes Dave Winer - Not necessarily shocking, but frankly completely unnecessary and is the reason that most of us who are into the whole blogging scene are frustrated with big business. I mean, c'mon.
- Stuart Bruce is pointing to The Bivings Report, which sez some interesting things about how the 'net is going to play a part in this year's elections.Probably nothing shocking to most who read here, but as Stuart says, it's "worth a thorough read."
- Remember when there was a furor over the Nike sneakers which when emblazoned (no pun intended) with a flaming "Air" resembled the Arabic word for "Allah?" Well, something similar has apparently just happened, writes Paul Holmes.
- Phil Gomes has some great words for how people need to think of stepping up from audio (such as podcasts) to video. Much like the concept of how you make that call as to what needs to go from text (in a blog) to a podcast, audio to video works the same. It's about what you need to get across, and how much of the user's attention you need to snag.
- Missed this one earlier in the week. Nick Finck is talking about name dropping, a la "blog snobbery," on the Web. Have fun with that one.
