Common Content
Browsing around free content search terms, and creative commons, I came across common content, which I should have known about all along. Still, here it is, a site that’s an open catalogue of open source content.

I guess it’s not so easy to navigate unless you have a good idea of what you are looking for […]
MyTV. In
Fans of Indian movies or TV series could get along to MYtv. in
“MyTV.in has been set up in an effort to bring the Indian entertainment closer to people who do not have easy access to such programming. This is currently not a subscription service and is absolutely free.”
I was surprised at some of the material […]
What is WRIPE trying to achieve?
A strange effect of blogging and the expansion of viewpoints and information that are now available to us thanks to one-click publishing is that people tend to become more focused in what they read. Maybe it’s inevitable. When there’s so much to hand, so many views to take into account, it makes life easier if […]
Webjam - European Web 2.0
Webjam Launches - MySpace Plus Netvibes on Steroids (Mashable)
Webjam got a bit of a mauling yesterday from Mashable who found it trying to do too many things and mixing its messages.
“a “social media ecosystem” that helps people to “aggregate and share
content with the communities they join”. It took me a long, long time
to figure out […]
VC Priorities and WIVOIP
Seed-Funded WiVOIP Startup To Seek Financing
I’m curious how VCs make decisions and thought this line in an alarm:clockarticle about new Wireles VOIP company WIVOIP was interesting:
“The “rare and unique” opportunity to assemble a team of this quality with “perfect market timing”

Turnhere, is a project pretty much like geobeats (see below). Thanks Mathew - it’s nice to keep the list as complete as possible.
Mathew also has a cool media blog worth checking out […]
Geobeats
I learned about GeoBeats through webyantra. This is what Geobeats says about itself.
“GeoBeats is an interactive media company whose mission is to inform travelers about international destinations through the use of video. During our own international travels, we found that trustworthy information about the destinations was not easily available. As a result, we are changing […]
Bangladeshi Blogs
This is via Webyantra a blog I aggregate at wripe.net.
“Banglablogs is a directory of Bangla (Bengali) blogs. It has been created by Debashish, the brain behind The Indibloggies (dubbed India’s blog Oscars).”
Wish we could do more to fashion links with the sub-continent’s bloggers and entrepreneurs. Maybe Debashnish could be invited to the Irish blog awards? […]
Second Life Stats
I was looking up a few Second Life stats after looking at alt-zoom earlier. When I wrote about SL for the Irish Times back in September there were 750,000 members. There are now 1.5 million. About 75,000 are logging on each day and spending an average of 3 hours each there. Nissan, Toyota, IBM, Starwood […]
ALT ZOOM Gives You Hope
Well, sort of. I mean thre’s a healthy sized community there now creating machinima for Second Life. Alt-Zoom describes itself as: a studio less in the Hollywood model of a movie studio, more in the model of a coopertive artist’s studio. They have a monthly screening of films made in Second Life.
Here’s more:
Alt-Zoom Studios’ goal […]
