- Let Evan Leeson show you what might be the iPod’s ultimate role: as both a nifty media gizmo in its own right and as the world’s most talented remote control. “Depending on where you are, the iPod is either your main device, or your remote. If it is your remote, all the functionality is taken over by the Mac and your entertainment/communications experience takes place through your home system with a representation of it on your iPod for remote purposes. This puts the iPod in your hands at all entertainment moments. Talk about brand awareness.”
- Want to add video and audio to your blog, but not sure how to do it? TechCrunch reports on a handy new service called Stickam that may be the answer. “Stickam is free, has no bandwidth restrictions and up to 500 mb of storage.”
- This is promising: Britt Bravo has launched the Big Vision Podcast, which “talks with individuals and organizations that are creating positive change”. I’m really looking forward to listening to the inaugural episode.
- This is less promising: when someone like blogging pro Arieanna can’t use your shiny new web service, you have trouble. But the interesting part is how she’s handling the issue: by posting her problem to her blog, and hoping they’ll find it when they search on their own name. Could it be that the future of tech support looks less like call centres, and more like the ski patrol?
- As you know, bloggers who disagree never really talk to each other, and instead explode at the slightest provocation. The medium is doomed, doomed! …Or maybe not so much. Check out the respectful debate between Darren Barefoot and Todd Wong on preserving Joy Kogawa’s childhood home.
