It’s just an un-scientific hunch, but twitter seems to “got game”. Jaiku flickered and faded. Pownce came out with a nice interface, threads, but I’m still tuned to twitter. It’s this dog’s rule that there is never a ‘best’ technology, just the one you happen to be using at the time. It’s going to all […]
Just when you think you’ve seen enough cool flickr add on tools, 20 more pop up in your reader. SlideFlickr is very handy- ir can generate code for emdedding and flickr set into an external web page, but you can also create embeddable shows based on tags an d other parameters. Or as the site […]
In the Aimless Wander and Playing with Not Critical Web Site department, I plopped into gizmoz, a site where you upload an image of your face, and it digitizes it, and applies it to an animated avatar… you even add a short recording, and it syncs the animation to your words.

Almost by sheer accident- discovered following a tweet by Judy O’Connell to her web 2.0 presentation on Slideshare, that I came across this nifty new site, vodpod. Here you […]
Sit, Avatar! posted 11 Jul ’07, 6.54pm MDT PST on flickr I was experimenting today with doing some live video streaming from my laptop into Second Life. That darned dog just refused to listen to my commands. Some virtual dogs are just like their real life versions.
Summary: Jakob Nielsen tosses gasoline on the flames of the blogosphere by claiming blog posting dilutes an arbitrary measure of “expertise”. A thousand blog monkeys were deeply hurt.
