J. LeRoy’s Evolving Web – This guy thinks the same way I do! Scary huh? A great bloglet – who will kill myspace first? About the ‘prurient’ interests on MySpace: Recent press stories have centered on MySpace being a den of prurient activity. With 67 million users, it seems unlikely that there would be zero…
A number of people either dropped hardcopy on my desk or emailed me the article from The Sydney Morning Herald Simply the Best by David Stonehouse. By David Sifry’s count, there are more than 33 million blogs out there. He’s in a good position to know – he’s the founder and chief executive of Technorati…
Online communities based around creativity and passion can be interesting beasts. Particularly if they exist also as an offline community because it’s intriguing to see how they play out online. The St Kilda Writer’s Festival was on this past weekend. It’s so disappointing when they go to all the trouble to put up lots ofinformation…
I headed over to the Financial Time’s site to a piece on the BBC and their revamp. It was titled “BBC’s warns of ‘big shock’ as it signals shake-up of its website“.

I came across Platial.com, the PEOPLE’S ATLAS, Leave YOUR MARK on the WORLD, while surfing the ‘net. They said: The specific concept for building an online, shared mapping tool came after Di-Ann and I had moved to Amsterdam in 2004. We encouraged a lot of people to come visit, to stay with us, to hang…
In Qui Custodiet Custodes, I commented on the program Media Watch losing relevance as the media bloggers swarm. Well today I went back to see how their forums were coming along. Not well. There’s very few threads and posts. The forums are over moderated and the online community seems to be destined to pat Media…
Forums finger doof deadbeats!!11!!! So says David Braithwaite of the Sydney Morning Herald. Forums on doof community websites such as australiens.net and oztrance.com are buzzing with chatter about undesirable gatecrashers at the Good Friday, Amazing Sunday event.
