Too Many Choices, Too Much Content
via ReadWriteWeb by Sarah Perez on May 14, 2008

The Rise of Twitter as a Platform for Serious Discourse
via ReadWriteWeb by Josh Catone on January 30, 2008
For 2007, our Best Web LittleCo was Twitter, the microblogging/status application that captured the collective attention of Silicon Valley at SXSW last winter and has been on a meteoric rise ever since. We picked Twitter because it "has captured the imagination and become a new hybrid of chat, social networking and blogging." But, unlike 2006's Best LittleCo YouTube, which has become firmly...

via louisgray.com by louisgray on May 06, 2008
On March 3rd of 2007, I made a list of 10 suggestions to the Google Reader team on how they could make the world's most popular feed reader even better.
