• WP Plugin: Relative Dates

  WP Plugin: Relative Dates Displays the date of your posts as the time elapsed since it was posted. This would be even more cool if it could interact with each user’s client, store a cookie and provide a “new post(s)” notification for each visit. Reminiscent of Alex King’s older “since last visit” plugin. (0)

• Location Aware Blog tool wins innovation prize

  Location Aware Blog tool wins innovation prize The winning software, called OneReach, draws on the current interest in blogging. The tool gives travellers access to blogs specific to the area they are in so they can find useful information and tips. It also creates a map which allows family and friends to follow their exact progress while they are away from home. The tool relies on GPS (Global Positioning System) and requires a smartphone.

• Microsoft Recruiting Paid Bloggers

  Microsoft Recruiting Paid Bloggers Many professional bloggers are already poo-pooing the idea but I am not ready to discount MS yet. Microsoft has failed in the content game before but they do seem to have strong groups of people that “get” blogging and promotion through blogging (ala Channel 9, Scoble etc.). CNET has done a marvellous job at content blogging followed closely by others such as Weblogs Inc and Gawker Media. Persistent Microsoft with fair guidance from their own blogging gurus might just hit the mark this time. I cannot imagine the resources that a Microsoft blogger would have at their disposal and what they could produce with those resources. Thanks Threadwatch PS: I am quite tired of the phrase “get blogging”. Successfull Blogging is about faithful and clever journalistic marketing and not some tech savvy utopian ideal that only certain people are privvy to. Everyone gets blogging and good/useful it can be, however only a few of them actually embrace blogging and understand how to leverage the power of blogs. (2)

• Off Topic: Amazing Remote Control Vehicle

  Off Topic: Amazing Remote Control Vehicle I rarely write about something this off topic, but if you are a gadget person or are remotely interested in anything Remote Control, this vehicle will amaze you. I’m not going to let the cat out of the bag but when you visit that link, take the time to download the video, it is worth every painstaking minute! (Just got farked, so download is slow. I wonder if I can help take some of the load off the main download server) (4)

• Intel Ranks the 100 Most Unwired U.S. Cities

  Intel Ranks the 100 Most Unwired U.S. Cities Toledo is #5 !!!! Go Toledo!! [EDIT] Ok, that sounded bad and may have been confusing. “Unwired” is actually a good thing. They mean to say most “wireless” US Cities. (3)
