via TechCrunch by Michael Arrington on May 14, 2008
A week ago Wired Magazine voiced its displeasure over our syndication partnership with the Washington Post. Wired’s Betsy Schiffman wrote “We’ve got nothing against TechCrunch, but it seems crazy-crazy to us that the Washington Post, a paper known for the sort of reporting that can take down U.S. presidents, is publishing content written by a dude who invests in the companies he writes...

Slingpage Lets You Share the Web With One Click (500 Private Beta Invites)
via TechCrunch by Erick Schonfeld on May 14, 2008
The idea of leaving sticky notes on the Web for others to find has been tried many times, but has never really taken off. Third Voice dotbombed with the idea in the late 1990s, then Activeweave tried it with Stickis (only to abandon the idea in favor for an app called BlogRovr, which was recently acquired by BuzzLogic). The missing element was that there was never a social way to share the Web...

via The Jason Calacanis Weblog by Jason Calacanis on May 13, 2008
Powerset has received a ton of attention--some say hype--about their "Google-killing" intelligence based search. Google-killing is in quotes there for a reason people: no one is killing Google any time soon, and in fact the best search and navigation companies--i believe--will learn to play in Google's pond. (note the "official" in the title is also a joke, but I'm sure some folks will...

via louisgray.com by louisgray on May 13, 2008
It's only been a few weeks since I integrated Disqus commenting with my blog, but I've already reached the point where it would be hard to consider what life was like before Disqus came along. Overnight, with the help of Daniel Ha's excellent customer service, I went from flat Blogger comments that were a hassle to simplified, threaded, personalized comments in Disqus, which integrate...

via RIApedia by mikepotter on May 14, 2008
As I've mentioned before, I'm getting into digital photography more and more, and recently I've been looking for a place to host my digital photos. Basically, I've got two sets of photos - personal photos of vacations and family (mostly taken using my Canon Digital Elph), and artistic photos that I take with my digital SLR (Canon Rebel XTi).

via Flex and Flash Developer - Jesse Warden dot Kizz-ohm by admin on May 14, 2008

Snackr - Little Bits of RSS Goodness
via Ryan Stewart - Rich Internet Application Mountaineer by Ryan Stewart on May 13, 2008
NJ on the Thermo team has been working on a little AIR application called Snackr built with Flex that helps you keep track of your feeds. It’s a little ticker that runs at the bottom of your screen and then displays random RSS items from feeds you subscribe to. Instead of a traditional reader in which you crank through each post, Snackr will help give you a random smattering of news from your...
