Why You Should Join Every New Site?
via Deys.ca by Bill on February 28, 2008
So FriendFeed just opened up and there has been a flood of people heading over and adding all their friends. Every time this happens questions fly about why we have to create a profile and add all the same friends. I know and agree that things like OpenSocial would help, believe me I have a profile on so many sites. How much time do we spend setting them up and entering our info? I’ll tell you...

Why Hasn’t Podcasting Caught On Yet?
via Mapping The Web by Aidan on March 03, 2008
[Why Hasn’t Podcasting Caught On Yet?] - When “podcasting” emerged a few years back, enthusiasts quickly proclaimed it to be the next big thing. As is the case with the so-called “semantic web”, podcasting has failed to live up to expectations. But why? The benefits are obvious and publishers are going to great lengths to be heard.The first thought that comes to mind is time. Maybe...
