Twitter rich115's Recently Played TracksRick Segal has by far the best post so far regarding Web-2.0-Gate.
Third, always leave room for conspiracy theorists. In this case, Sara gets some points. As the VP of Corporate Communications, what better way to give the company even more room to wiggle around, then to have the big guy himself on a “rare”, off [...]

There are two problems with today’s shit-storm over the term “web 2.0.” (As discussed by Cam and I this morning in G’Day World.)
Firstly, that IT@Cork received a letter from lawyers that not so subtly tells them they have no right to use the term Web 2.0 in the name of their conference. That sucks, especially [...]

MyHeritage thinks I look like Robert Patrick (a 64% match). I’m not going to argue, mainly because he’s cool as the T1000 and Colonel Tom Ryan in The Unit. We can ignore the last few seasons of the The X Files.
I’m intrigued about other parts of MyHeritage. My mum loves researching our family tree, so [...]

My mate Jon, who seems to be able to launch a new social site in minutes, has just announced News 2.0.

I chatted with Auren Hoffman with Cameron on G’Day World the other day. He’s the CEO of Rapleaf, a new reputation system that we liked to compare to whuffie: the concept Cory Doctorow introduce in his novel, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom.
I convinced myself today I should “advertise” my Rapleaf profile when I [...]

With Skype announcing free calls with North America, and Nokia announcing the inclusion of GTalk on its Internet tablet, Telco’s must be starting to have real concerns.
Not long and we’ll be staring at a device that encapsulates Negroponte’s lily pads and frogs.
Look for Google to announce a GBerry service or device, and sit tight for [...]

I bit the bullet and bought some land in Second Life today. That might sound a tad strange, buying virtual land, in a virtual world. However, over the last few weeks I’ve participated in several business meetings in-world. If you have a look around you’ll find several companies planning a variety of business activities.
We’re not [...]

I interviewed Markus Frind, along with Duncan Riley of B5Media, this morning for the 2web Crew podcast. He created and runs Plentyoffish.com. Clay Cook of Minti put me on to him.
I’m still getting over what Markus is able to achieve, but as a one man show, he runs the world’s largest free dating web site, [...]

The world of 3D online just gets more exciting.
Google’s Sketchup has a Google Earth plugin. Now you can view 3D models in a real landscape. Imagine the repercussions for architects and designers.
I’ve mentioned it on G’day World a couple of times. I’d love to see a Second Life plugin for the application. There is a [...]
