– Microsoft’s Remix Mix Contest Winners (more gadget goodness from MS… pic from Donovan West, one of the 3 winners)
– Notes from Mashup Camp on mashup business models (I hadn’t seen these notes when I did my post on the same topic – makes a nice complimentary piece. Thanks John Musser for the link.)
– New Zealand’s Big Hits (popular sites in NZ – TradeMe, NZ Dating and US-based Hi5… it still surprises me that not many tech news sites covered the TradeMe sale – it was nearly half a billion US dollars! Compare that to $30 M for Flickr et al and tell me which is more important….thanks Seb for the link)
– Wired: Man vs. Machine in Newsreader War (this is a very hard problem in the ‘attention’ era and none of the apps mentioned here have solved it… yet. Perhaps one clue is to get rid of the “vs” distinction and replace with “and”.)
– More Info on Movable Type Enterprise (nice overview from Charlie Wood, who thinks “Six Apart has a ways to go”.)
– Review of Publi.sh (Charles Coxhead’s ‘instant feeds’ tool – this review notes some use cases: to publish feed(s) for grocery lists, movie nights, book-club assignments, etc)
– AOL Still Number One With Teens (YPulse notes from Comscore stats that teens use IM a lot, as well as online gaming… MySpace was second, Yahoo third… btw YPulse was the inspiration for my R/WW Filter)
– Phil Wainewright: Microsoft Live rolling along (“Live really has been achieving a lot, with more than a dozen new products introduced since its launch last November.”)
– Netscape.com To Be Relaunched As a Digg-Like Site; Calacanis Heading It (the term ‘raising the dead’ springs to mind…)
