There is much that got filtered through my neurons this week that I didn't end up getting a chance to blog about. Here's a roundup of some of "the links that got away":
-
Wired did a piece on videoblogging with some good quotables from Chuck Olsen and Steve Garfield.
-
CBS News is starting a blog in hopes of making its news process more transparent and participatory. Yes, right on, and I wish them well on their adventure.
-
Rocketboom has a hilarious take on the Karl Rove ongoing investigation.
-
Thanks to John Pratt for reminding me to talk about Fundable, a service that lets groups of folks pool money for specific purposes, often small projects that need a bit of capital. This is a way cool idea in the vein of micro-economy.
-
Meetro is a few months old already, but we haven't had a chance to discuss it here — it basically adds location-awareness to IM, so you can find like-minded people who are physically nearby. [Thanks, mobile_gam]
-
Steve Garfield interviews David Pogue (technology columnist, ex-musical theater major) and gets him to do a little Broadway spoof number for us (Tom Lehrer would be proud).
-
Raymond at DLTQ points to an interview with Jay Dedman circa mid-2004 on the then nascent state of videblogging. This little slice of history says a ton about the acceleration of technoculture, thinking about all that's happened in the past year. It's also an inspiring reminder that the technology for citizen media production is already in place — now we educate, we practice, we find our voices, we create, and we share.









1. Wanted to introduce you to NetworthIQ (http://www.networthiq.com), a social personal finance manager that just launched on Friday. It was inspired by personal finance bloggers and the social sharing sites like flickr, del.icio.us and 43 things.
