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 […]

Dutch Experiments of the Cultural Kind

:: FaceCulture ::

Faceculture.nl has a slightly exaggerated view of its novelty - it is hardly the first multimedia magazine on the web. It is perhaps the swiftest to exploit the growing need for video content. Having the benefit of an Amsterdam base they’re able to pick up interviews with minor celebs and niche songsters, as […]

Webflow - In A Can

I was puzzling over night about James Corbeett’s idea that Lost and blogs have a similar narrative feel: good blogs anyway. This morning the Sunday Times had a long piece about Lost and they emphasised the fact that Lost presents continuing mysteries and inexplicable but seemingly connected situations, a bit like six and a half […]

TV in Second Life

They already have movies so why not TV channels, with user generated content, of course. Rivers Run Red are bringing in Channel 4 and Sci-Fi Channel, Big Brother was lined up already and presumably there will be lots more. My one concern - it’s an easy way to look like you get it.

Liberated

A new film site to distribute indie films, reports Mashable. Given there are now over 300 YouTube clones I thought Mashables list of “similar” sites was light. Sites like liberated also have the problem that to do the indie thing is not very niche-like and I suspect people for whom indie film is a lifestyle […]

WRIPE Readier

WRIPE is readier than it was, especially for voting. Anybody fancy a trip over there? One of the features that isn’t clear enough from the home page is that you can click through to a section where you’ll find many more stories.
So if you’re on the home page you’ll notice section names like Diet Cast, […]

Blogging Lite

If it’s a blogging lite week it’s because of the demands of a burgeoning career - as a a publisher. Plenty of people have been there before me I know but I am pretty happy with my first two publishing products.

My Diet Friends is coming along fine. I’m currently planning the full launch just after […]
