This is a Green Beta
Among all the web 2.0 betas this one stands out because it provides real benefits to more than one user. I don’t just mean it builds community, it may save community.
The service is offering by Green Mountain Energy, a US company that provides clean energy and helps corporate clients reduce their carbon footprints. Now […]
The Impact of Viewer Content
To my knowledge the video movie made by a student in the UCLA library has not yet been shown on networked television. It shows another student being zapped by police officers for failing to show his library ID, and zapped repeatedly. He appears to be in acute pain. I found it nauseating and that’s simply […]
Well At Least Someone’s Working on The New Democracy
I wish these two initiatives were European, Irish even. It is to the constant credit of the United States that while you get a Bush and a Rumsfeld (first typed it as Rumsfled, at last) you also get people beavering away at the big issues.
Bloggingheads and meaningoflife are related through Slate magazine, another place where […]
Last FM
Last FM got some good coverage at the the Content 2.0 conference so I went over to take a look. The question upper most in my mind with social media is will it work outside music and movies? Music has had such a powerful impact across the web driving MySpace and no doubt soon driving […]
The Beginnings of A Content Virus?
This is interesting. A blog with no beginning, middle or end but just a post about two other blogs trying to repplicate the Lonely Girl phenomenon.
“I have been following the artificial battle between the West Hollywood Girls (WeHoGirls) and North Hollywood Girls (NoHoGirls) on YouTube. The original plot line was that Leah cheated on her […]
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 […]
Turn here
Courtesy of Mathew Ingram: “It’s been around for a little while now, but a site called TurnHere sort of escaped my notice until recently….”
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 […]
