Odeo for Sale
GigaOm reports that Ev Williams has Odeo up for sale. I understand why Ev needs to do this but it makes me sad.
Change can be good, Make Media
Ed Cone had a good op-ed article in the N&R yesterday titled The way we politick now. Of course you can find it on his blog. (It wasn’t so long ago that MSM would flip out if you put your column on your own webpage.) He brings up several great points about how new media, [...]
Check out Change.org
Non-profit techies have been dreaming of ways to use new web 2.0 stuff to help good causes. We’re always suggesting people use Digg, Facebook, De.licio.us, Flickr, and YouTube for positive social change work.
