Roo Reynolds - What’s Next?

Links for Friday 27th July, 2007

• Cuban: The Internet Is Dead - Mark (’only a moron would buy YouTube’) Cuban says “The Internet’s for old people”. Well, I guess that’s that then. See you on a cable network sometime. Sigh
• What would Baden-Powell do? - Full of choice quotes from Baden-Powell. Perhaps the best, on the character of bees: “They are a quite a model community for they respect their Queen and kill their unemployed.”
• IBM Virtual World Guidelines - The IBM virtual worlds guidelines in full. I wrote about these in detail on Eightbar.
• The Return Of Links - “I built myself a little script in JavaScript that uses the JSON feed to generate a page where I can select which links I want to publish and then have them populate a simple unordered list which I can copy and paste into a new post”. Sounds ideal. To try.
• Todoist - Brilliant todo/project/calendar managing tool. Still meaning to blog about this properly some time.
• Gmail-template Generator - Yay. This could save some typing. Merlin Mann’s talk wishlisted templates for GMail in his Inbox Zero talk. This is close.
• Wired: How Madison Avenue Is Wasting Millions on a Deserted Second Life - Page three says “The Internet will eventually be full of such 3-D environments; Second Life might even be one of them. But in the meantime, it’s just slurping up corporate dollars and delivering little in return.”
