In the last 6 months video has really started to take off online. There’s a whole host of new video sharing sites springing up. But hosting video costs money. Lots of money.
This article: Your Tube, Whose Dime? – Forbes.com estimates that YouTube are spending $1m on hosting every month. That’s quite a lot for a [...]
A new feature of del.icio.us is the ability to create your own networks. It’s a replacement for the slightly confusing inbox feature.
I’d love to create a little network of like-minded people so I can keep in touch with the hot stuff that other people are bookmarking. If you use del.icio.us and would like to ‘network [...]
MAKE: Blog: The Future of Credit Cards – Earning virtual currency for spending in the real world & other world bridging. (Now there’s a snappy link!)
Interesting article on the rise of virtual currencies and the ways that the lines between virtual and real money may soon start to blur.
I’m pretty sure I’m way behind the curve on these (as per usual). But here’s a couple of amazing uses of the Flickr API (if you don’t know what an API is, this might help. Or then again, it might leave you baffled).

I’m very lucky. I got a new computer. It’s a shiny new Intel-based MacBook Pro. I have to say I’ve not noticed that I’m getting more work done in a shorter period of time. But I’m sure I will eventually, perhaps.
My favourite feature is the built in camera and the silly little application Photo Booth. [...]
I’m faced with a daily paradox at the moment: the busier I get (sometimes doing quite interesting stuff) the less time I find that I have to blog about it. I need to get better at putting aside a few minutes a day to keep the site up to date. Or maybe I need to [...]
One digital life reports on a really neat promotion run by MacZot.
