A while back, Jesse Stay (FriendFeed | blog) asked a question on Twitter (which I, of course, responded to on FriendFeed, as did many others). It was a simple question: Just curious, if you had one city in the U.S to live, based on affordability and web 2.0 networking potential, where would you live? I […]
The Des Moines Register is checking out the future (or at the very least, the very recent past)
I’ve been hooking up with lots of local Twitter-ers lately (pretty much all of them can be found here), one of which was the Twitter account for the Des Moines Register. I unfollowed this account when, after just an hour or so, it became apparent that it is nothing more than an automated bot distributing […]
Ficlets has competition
I know that there are other entries in the short collaborative fiction space, namely Novlet and Portrayl (both of which were profiled along with Ficlets by ReadWriteWeb a while back). But they hadn’t gained the same amount of traction and their user bases are still relatively small. However, a new challenger has appeared on the […]

Ponzi asks how many social networks is enough? Dave responds that we only need one. The true question becomes: which one? The problem […]
More time with Mahalo
So far, I am absolutely loving what Mahalo (Calacanis‘ brain child, apparently) can do. Basically, some experts in various fields are hired by Mahalo to piece together custom pages based on top search terms. The result is a lovingly crafted set of relevant search results representing all of the best the web has to offer […]
My first ten minutes with Mahalo
Wow. More later.
Does anyone actually like Meebo Rooms?
Ordinarily, I only talk about things on this blog that I like. When I come across a cool video, a nifty web utility, or a slick piece of software, I like to talk about how great it is. I don’t usually complain about something I encounter, unless it’s something that means a lot to me. […]
