W3.org, makers of all web standards, created a highly accessible design on a beloved Netscape 3 gray background. The flag is still a draft and comes with an audio version for the sight-impaired.
The flag for the RIAA is pretty good, too.

This morning, Doug Kaye of IT Conversations and The Conversations Network announced the founding of a for-profit arm partner for those not-for-profit organizations, GigaVox Media Incorporated. You can read the announcement here (pdf file) or listen to it here. Doug’s also announced it on his blog, and there’s likely to be some discussion […]

I generally try to stay away from anything political here (aside from the fact that pretty much everything is political), but here’s a worthy cause for which I will break that informal rule.
This isn’t just a bipartisan effort, it’s a multipartisan one, and is one of the most important issues facing the US today. […]

SuprGlu is a sort of a personality aggregator for the web published by Iridesco. If you wanted to collect all the information available by you or about you that you’re responsible for, SuprGlu’d be a place to do it.
The essential idea here is that you give SuprGlu a bunch of inputs of your data […]

I suspect most will have heard about Pandora; the company was reviewed by TechCrunch, and the free release was publicized there as well. I first heard about the idea on an NPR segment about Pandora’s parent, the Music Genome Project.

Allen Searls responds to my comment about a mechnism for bloggers to connect with the Wondir Q & A service.
My concerns include
Wondir … seems a bit of a roach motel of users … in so far as Wondir users have little reason to leave the site for any of their Wondir-related activity. I think […]

The folks over at Rojo have fixed a bug with the share page that was making the tag field disappear from the page. Now they’re back!

Since I use Rojolicious as my main in-road to posting entries to de.icio.us, missing this field was kind of a big deal to me. Thanks, Rojo!

The contents of my email to my hosting company regarding their misguided bittorrent policy:
<snip>
I read today that 1and1 is implementing a support policy regarding bittorrent files, and further that this policy is misguided.
This is unfortunate and must be reconsidered. The bittorrent technology is capable of vast and important non-infringing uses. I use it […]

When Steve Gillmor wrote:
I wish Joshua Schacter would respond to Chris Alden and work out a Rojo flag-to-del.ico.us bridge so I can autopopulate my del.icio.us feed with items.
I responded by saying that it seemed an easy fix for something like Greasemonkey to take care of. Knowing from the same post that Steve is running […]
