Video: Supermarket 2.0
Twitter is so damn addictive…
..it hurts. Meet the new king of procrastination services.
If you haven’t checked it out before: Twitter is a service located somewhere in between blog, instant messaging and SMS/text messaging. You just go ahead and post very, very brief messages to your friends, liek what you’re doing right at that moment. It’s that simple.
Sounds stupid and […]
UC Berkeley video cast
UC Berkeley now video-casts their classes via Google Video as “part of UC Berkeley’s commitment to the broadest possible dissemination of knowledge for the benefit of our state, the nation and the world.”
Now that rocks.

Thanks, Max!
Coworking
Liking this a lot:
“Coworking is cafe-like community/collaboration space for developers, writers and independents. Or, it’s like this: start with a shared office and add cafe culture. Which is the opposite of most modern cafes.”
(Blog, Wiki, via)
Nice idea indeed. Anything like that in Berlin yet? Haven’t seen it. Then again, coffee & wifi culture is very […]

Wizards of OS 4 in Berlin, this weekend
In case you’re in Berlin and haven’t made any plans this weekend (and even if you have), don’t miss out on Wizards of OS 4. It’s the conference on free knowledge, information freedom and open collaboration.
From Thursday until Saturday, there’s going to be pretty much non-stop program at Columbiahalle (Google Maps).
Among the speakers there will […]
why mp3 will ruin our culture. (or not.)
This just had me laugh out loud and really made my day. It’s an old article back from 1999 about the German music industry’s reaction to the emergence of mp3. It’s like reading a how-not-to guide for embracing new technology and how to scare away your customers: “The nasty international (”foreign”!) file-sharers are ruining us”? […]
A Swarm of Angels
Many aspects of the idea behind (bottom-up community-driven independent film production project) A Swarm of Angels really fascinate me:
The Swarm
It’s a massively collaborating environment: Both resources (funding, tech support etc) and creativity come from the supporting crowd. The community aspects here are almost ridiculously strong! The movie is paid for and produced with support […]
State of the Blogosphere II
Just a few days ago, David Sifry of Technorati posted another part of his series State of the Blogosphere. (Here’s the link to Part 1 again.)
David has pretty interesting figures on language & tags:
English isn’t the number 1 blogging language. (Japanese is. About a third of all posts are in English.)
After fast growth over the […]
Music You (Possibly) Won’t Hear Anyplace Else
Music you possibly, maybe, will not hear anyplace else, though there’s always the chance that you might.
Lee Hartsfeld collects great pieces of rare music, sounds and other collectible audio. MP3s stay online for a little while, then go offline again. Great stuff - I particularly recommend to check out HAL’s Father…
