plasticbag : Loving the eboy Web 2.0 brand-filled pixelposter right about now - I want one of these. More particularly I want to make a site that makes it onto things like this. I liked that Odeo and Blogger were surrounded by bikini-wearing hula-hoopers too. Funny.

plasticbag : Although nominated for best personality, I'm afraid I was not a winner at the Gay Bloggies - It went to the much more entertaining Towleroad instead. I always felt a bit out of place in the listings, not being quite A-Gay enough. Still it was nice to be nominated - gives you faith that it's not just the flamboyantly gay who get noticed...

plasticbag : Ev Williams on why pageviews are obselete - There's clearly a need for an abstracted measurement to help advertisers work out where they're going to get the best return on their investment, but god only knows what it is...
Paul Hammond : evhead: Pageviews are Obsolete - Ajax is only part of the reason pageviews are obsolete. Another one is RSS

plasticbag : An interesting article on C|Net about Google's resolute refusal to play social networking games... - For me, 'social networking' in the longer term remains a structuring principle rather than a product, but you need a the network to be able to layer it into your products, and Orkut isn't it. Blogger's rather been left to rot too...

plasticbag : Blogger Web Comments for Firefox - The most interesting thing about this is how the weblog is becoming the default platform for pretty much everything and individual expresses online. Why would you use a dedicated web annotation service when you can just integrate it into your site?
