The main concept to blogging is to add value and thought to the online community. (That or show pictures of female celebrities getting out of cars…) And the point of this blog has always been to discuss things I find interesting and have some semblance of insight to share.
Well today, seeing as how I’m too busy to have an opinion on anything, I thought that I’d share a few recent reads that I’ve enjoyed. Further, I think a few of these are so well done, that I don’t even have anything smart to add.
For example: ReadWriteWeb’s take on Web 2.0 and 3.0 terminology and the complete arbitrariness of naming the internet. This article singlepostedly explains why RWW is my current favorite blog. Everything written there is well thought through, well crafted, and authoritative on a subject. Plus- someone else finally agrees with me about stupid “web 2.0″ usage. RWW- great work.
About a week ago I read this article on “A Stranger in a Strange Land: A Windows Mobile Guy Meets iPhone” from PocketPC Thoughts. If you have an iPhone, or a WinMo device- you must read that article. It’s everything I’ve wanted to say and more. And it makes me feel less jealous of iPhone owners. So does PPC Thoughts’ follow up.
On Windows Mobile- it’s really exciting to see HTC launch a US campaign. Also cool to see it might be launching a new sampling of phones too… I mean, it had been almost two years since I’ve seen anything new out of the love-of-my-phone-life.
Mashable had a recent and awesome post on finding new music- which I hope to actually take advantage of this weekend. If you play around with any of these sites and find something cool, you are now obligated to tell me about it. Thanks.
And lastly- we finally relaunched our TechToons blog on the Prompt site. Spend some time going through the archives- there are a few hilarious ones back there. The ideas for each cartoon come from my colleagues- obviously a pretty funny and smart group.
That’s all I’ve got today- oh, but I heard a rumor that there’s funny stuff on the internet… let me know if you find any of it. I’m going to need some help once GTA IV comes out on Tuesday… and after that I’m going to be pretty glued to my xbox… it will be unhealthy and embarrassing. And I couldn’t be much more excited.
Enjoy the weekend!
