At the end of February bloggers publishing their RSS newsfeeds with Feedburner will need to fully migrate their accounts to Google Feedburner. Google bought Feedburner in 2007 and this step pretty much completes the takeover.
One feature of Google Feedburner that has come to prominence with the changeover is the MyBrand facility, which allows members to [...]

Author and futurist Arthur C Clarke is credited with predicting the emergence of a number of technologies, including a tablet-like device called a “Newspad”, which could serve the latest news stories from electronic versions of newspapers.
So far more has been said about comparing the Newspad to PDAs or Tablet PCs, but the [...]

Better Feed Reading
While you’re reading this, what am I doing? Going through all my RSS feeds most likely. Just today I was thinking about how to manage it all, when I saw this post by Tim Bray, suggesting a solution close to what I’d thought about.
For years, Dave Winer has been preaching the virtues of [...]

Ad nauseam: Facebook users to cop the hard sell. Here we go then. “The Facebook free ride is over as the social network now seeks to turn its 50-million-strong user base into an army of viral marketers.” I’d like to see what they pull out of the hat though, there may be a monetising cue [...]

Mac OS X Web browser rundown 2007: we all know Internet Explorer isn’t the only browser for the Windows platform (nor is it by any means the best), but I was quite surprised by the number of browsers Mac (Apple) users have at their disposal, aside from the usual suspects, Firefox, Opera, and Safari.

This is interesting.
When reading is bad for you, by Megan Tough at Flying Solo.
Reading has an insidious way of filling all the cracks in our day. If we are reading, we can tell ourselves that we are actually working. In fact, there’s a good chance we are simply wasting time.

I may not be a luddite, but there’s no denying disassociated.com is pretty lo-tech. There’s a definite lack of gidgets and widgets, twitter chat boxes, and whatever other uber cool web apps, going on around here.
Deciding to migrate disassociated.com to the Wordpress blogging platform (how do you like my IT speak?) was like a “giant [...]

Ok so it turns out there were a few minor glitches with the import database that I used to transfer my past blog posts here, and after some exhaustive checking discovered eight posts had not made it on to the final version of the live Wordpress database.
I hasten to add this was my fault and [...]
