- Becoming Digitally Savvy
Howard Owen gives a great list of things non-wired journalists can do to become digitally savvy. I think it’s awesome and I’m trying to think of how to pass it along to folks without it being viewed as some sort of slam.
Beyond that though, I think the list is something everyone should work on. [...]
- Ask3D
Lots of people are talking about Ask’s launch of their new search interface and new algorithm. It is a different way to search and so far, I’m very impressed by it. I’m not going to rehash all the new features as any of the above links can do that. Instead, I thin [...]

One of those contexts is personalization and it’s very interesting how much Google seems to be pushing [...]
- Satisfaction on Digg
The folks over at Satisfaction have a great post looking into the Digg revolt from earlier in the week. Lots has been written about it and obviously more will continue.
I was thinking about starting a pool at work, having people bet on when a Product Manager is going to bring up the [...]
- Ameriganzapalooza
Cindy Li and Jason Garber have travelled across the country. Here’s the stream of data they generated with the help of Twitter, Flickr and blog posts. It’s really an impressive thing when simple data updates can be put together to form a last impression of a trip or event.
I know one of [...]
