The Way We Work: Twitter del.icio.us Hack
Yesterday while waiting at the Cancun airport with Aaron, Henry, Mirasol, Nedjo, Owen and Justine, a few of us got to talking about FriendFeed, Twitter and del.icio.us.
Aaron and I are avid del.icio.us users, tagging all sorts of interesting sites. And we follow numerous lists and feeds thus pulling together some great information and redistributing it through the company.

The Way We Work: Tweeting, Twining, Tumbling - Social Media and New Web Services
Recently I've been looking into new web2.0 and, I guess web3.0, and social media trends - sites and services that are popping up like mushrooms after a rain. I've found many interesting one and wanted to share a few, and at the same time ask that if you know of anything really cool that you think I might not know about, please send it my way, either by email/contact form or tag them on del.icio.us for:gregoryheller

Defective by Design on Amazon
7th Most Popular Amazon Tag

I ran across this post on O'Reilly about tagging - it referred to our Amazon tagging experiment with our Defective by Design campaign (for the Free Software Foundation). I ended up poking around Amazon and discovered that we are currently the 7th most popular tag now on Amazon - after one alert to our membership.

YouTube Named Time's "Invention Of The Year"
Time magazine named YouTube "Invention of the Year" saying:
What happened? YouTube's creators had stumbled onto the intersection of three revolutions. First, the revolution in video production made possible by cheap camcorders and easy-to-use video software. Second, the social revolution that pundits and analysts have dubbed Web 2.0. It's exemplified by sites like MySpace, Wikipedia, Flickr and Digg - hybrids that are useful Web tools but also thriving communities where people create and share information together. The more people use them, the better they work, and more people use them all the time - a kind of self-stoking mass collaboration that wouldn't have been possible without the Internet.

Help Improve the Drupal User Interface
Every spotted some little niggle when using or administering a Drupal site? Some specific thing that is hard to figure out, or takes two clicks where it should take one?
Dries has had an excellent idea for documenting these UI niggles on Flickr, where a screenshot can be annotated, describing exactly what the problem is.
This is someone anyone can do - and yes, even non-coders :)
There is even a Drupal 5.0 (CVS) site up at that you can use for your screenshots.
Here is how it works:
- Create a Flickr account. It's free.
- Take a screenshot of a Drupal (administration) page and tag it with the keyword
drupalui(which stands for 'Drupal user interface'). It's important to use thedrupaluitag as that is the tag we'll use to pick up your feedback.- Annotate the screenshot by adding notes: use the notes to explain
what you would do differently, what confuses you, what can be explained
better, what is missing, etc.An overview of all the annotated screenshots tagged with
drupaluican be found here:As you can see, I submitted one example screenshot and annotated it with two notes:

IBM Defines Mashups
Mashups
are one of my favorite things - synthetic creativity born from the creativity and generosity of open technologists whose works are available on the web to be cross-pollinated with other technologies or datasources to produce brand-new things. It is an ever-accelerating artform in the World Wide Mesh that promises endless Darwinian generative possibilities. Recently the term has been showing up in common culture and the meaning risks dilution. Let's get specific. What exactly is a mashup? Mashups: The new breed of Web app is a new IBM article that provides a great overview of the history and the categories of "mashups" - and bears reading even for Technorati who already get and even contruct mashups.- Brooks Cole's blog
