I have many things I’ve been meaning to blog about, and not enough hours in my day. Forgive this big bolus o’ links:
- I hadn’t heard of Sphinn before (thanks to Pete, I think). It’s kind of Digg for internet marketing news.
- I really like Library Thing’s Zeitgeist (thanks, Monique). It kind of answers the question “what is the Internet reading?”
- FixMyStreet looks like a terrific idea.
- Scrivener is a OS X tool for writers (thanks, James). I haven’t tried it yet, but I promise not to judge it on the lousy name. I just remembered that I grew up with a girl whose last name was ‘Scrivener’.
- The folks from GiveMeaning have started a blog which looks useful to anybody engaged in online fundraising.
- Keira-Anne hears an only-in-British Columbia announcement on BC Ferries.
- Steve mentions a new show by Ronnie Burkett (more info and photos). I saw Burkett’s extraordinary Tinka’s New Dress about a decade ago, and it blew my mind. It’s on my top five lists of theatre-going experiences.
Just to be picky, I would say LibraryThing Zeitgeist is more about “what is the totality of books people have bought” than “what the Internet is reading”. To get an “is reading” sense it’s not so easy. The easiest way I can think of is to check on books tagged “currently reading”
