: I normally love RWW, but this one doesn't spread the depth of information that is out there on industry blogs. I'm not even sure that it was written recently, as AideRSS has been PostRank for a good amount of time. I have a similar article topic @ http://123socialmedia.com/2008/09/26/social-media-measurement-finding-top-industry-blogs if you want some additional ways of finding top blogs too. :)

Blogging Is Like Going To The Gym…For Your Brain
Jan 06, 2009

The Steve Rubel Lifestream image credit:  lastbeatsIf you’re a blogger, marketer, designer or any type of creative, your best ideas probably hit you when you’re not actively looking for them.  Rather, they strike when you’re engaged in another task, or sometimes quite randomly.  That is why it is vital to carry a pad and pen (or the digital variety) (Read More)

2009: Products I Can’t Live Without

Some are for work (Wordpress, Delicious, Zoho, etc.), some are for fun (MySpace Music, Hulu, e (Read More)

: Thanks this is a great list. I have tried and/or use many of the products listed above. Right now I am so addicted to Pandora. We have a sonos that supports Pandora and I love the variety of music. There are a few that I have heard about but have not gotten around to try such as my space music and zoho that I want to try.

: "The list changes a bit from year to year, and is also getting longer (see chart). Just three products have been favorites all four years: TechMeme, Skype, Wordpress. TechMeme continues to be the news aggregator I check multiple times per day to keep up on tech news. Skype is the instant messaging and VoIP platform that I use most often, and Wordpress software powers all of our blogs.

I’ve added nine new products, including one gadget (which I’ve left off in the past): Animoto, Friendfeed, Hulu, iPhone 3G, MySpace Music, Pandora (which was on in previous years) Docstoc/Scribd and Yammer."

Introducing Picasa for Mac (at Macworld!)
Jan 05, 2009

The Official Google Blog Sometimes I find it hard to describe Picasa without sounding like a late-night infomercial for a multi-bladed thingamabob: "It's a photo organizer! A photo editor! A web-savvy photo sharing and management system in just one tiny package!"We try hard to avoid hyperbole around here, but it's true that Picasa software, work (Read More)

: '...And today, we're releasing Picasa for Mac. While we've previously offered both a standalone Picasa Web Albums uploader and an iPhoto plugin for Mac users, Picasa for Mac finally brings all of the advanced sharing and sync features of Picasa to the millions of Mac OS X users who use Picasa Web Albums. Not to mention the "it-slices-and-dices" feature list that covers everything from color balance to collages...'

The impossible dream – Social Technology
Jan 03, 2009

Robert Scoble - FriendFeed For the past month or so I’ve had an idea percolating just beyond my grasp. I would occasionally get glimpses of what it was or what it wasn’t but never enough that I could get it down on paper – per se. I talked about the idea with Alexander van Elsas on Skype a week or so ago but as great as the conversation was it didn’ (Read More)

Raythe,

: Steven,

Great post for the start of the year. Thank you.

Mindful of the debates about socialmedian 'stealing' content :p I'll make some brief comments in this forum then a more considered posting on your blog.

There seems to be a theme of enfranchisement in the air, particularly apt given the appalling errors of judgment we're witnessing in the economies of the developed world.

In the 80s Vernor Vinge began a minor furor by introducing the concept of the 'technological singularity'. It returns as an interesting question now. The point is that we rush towards a singularity. Like a black hole, it sucks us in at an unprecedented rate, ignoring existing laws or understanding.

The 'ancients' had another word for it. They called it the 'Quickening'. A time when change accelerates at such a rate as to be almost completely unpredictable.

I agree completely with your post. Apart from the opinion that it won't happen in our lifetimes. There are forces that would stop it. But as we've seen in recent months, they are not the forces they (or, perhaps we) think they are. They are losing their grip in more ways than one. And then who is the authority?

Thanks again.
