I just stumbled upon a site called Top Ten Sources, and if I’m assessing it correctly, I believe that editors pick a topic and then find ten weblogs they feel are good resources on that topic to comprise their “Top Ten List”. These editors then make a page for that topic (Venture Capital for [...]

I just came across a great quote that pretty much sums up my thoughts about “web 2.0″ and how it relates to Flock:
Maybe I’m just confused, but isn’t the whole point of Web 2.0 is the browser is not the platform but the internet is? Doesn’t this kind of defeat the point? Isn’t the web [...]

Anil Dash draws up some great conclusions about the new “built to flip” economy and I couldn’t agree more. He thinks that these new “web 2.0″ startups aren’t thinking IPO but are looking to get acquired, which probably makes sense considering all the acquiring that’s been going on (Weblogs, Inc., Upcoming.org, Weblogs.com, etc.).

Actually, it is tough to even call whatever that is a blog and it shows that we have hit a point in the technology cycle where everyone feels [...]

37signals Signal vs. Noise weblog has been featuring entries recently on how to boost productivity, how to simplify your life, and generally how to GTD and be more organized professionally. Usually the tips are worthwhile, but one of the most recent ones hit me as strange, and I wasn’t really sure how it would [...]

Companies that place high value on ideas and creativity:
