- Ged Carroll writes a rather over-flattering post about something I said on Flickr I’m going to write up my thoughts on the whole PR / blog thing as soon as I get a moment. Maybe later today if I’ve got plasticbag.org’s comments working properly again.
- If you’re voting for sessions for SXSW then perhaps you’d consider giving your honest evaluation to a session on presence that Brian Oberkirch, Biz Stone, Leisa Reichelt and myself are thinking about… I’d be talking about Fire Eagle, which I’ve not really talked about at all on this site, but will be doing so soon. It’s a joint Yahoo Research Berkeley and Brickhouse project with a distinguished roster of contributors. More soon.
- Noisy Decent Graphics has a highly entertaining post on the book “Churnmore”, a satire on PR, advertising and brand people Thanks to Matt Jones for pointing it out to me. I will be heading to Amazon and buying it immediately.
- Absurd news story of the day: A man gets arrested for using someone else’s unsecured wifi network without their explicit permission. WTF!? This is insane. Absolutely insane. “This arrest should act as a warning to anyone who thinks it is acceptable to illegally use other people’s broadband connections.” Ridiculous.
- The BBC Magazine asks. “Is stealing wireless wrong?” Nowhere in these discussions does anyone ask about those people who want to leave their wifi nodes open for the convenience of other people. It’s like putting a drinking fountain outside your front door by the road and shooting anyone who tries to drink!
