philgyford : Extenuating Circumstances – SXSW 2008: Creative Collaboration: Building Web Apps Together - Good notes on a SXSW panel. I wonder where I'd fit in, but also wonder why I'm doing all this theatre nonsense when reading stuff like this makes me so excited.

plasticbag : Dopplr—the social network for frequent travellers—has launched and I would recommend that if you're a conference goer or business type you sign up immediately... - Lots of lovely people I respect and love worked on it, and it's increasingly taking the seed crystal of exposing collisions between people and extrapolating it in all kinds of fascinating directions.
Rod Begbie : DOPPLR - Dopplr's out of beta, and open for signups. If you ever do any travelling, it's a great way to find "co-incidences" when your friends' trips collide with yours. Gorgeous login screen too! #

The cheek! He got to sleep at home in an actual bed on Saturday night! Ha!

Simon Willison : Wikipedia: Shirky / (Tufte x Wattenburg) = ? - Sparklines for Wikipedia: an outstanding idea.
cameron : Wikipedia: Shirky / (Tufte x Wattenburg) = ? - Sparklines for wiki editing history
plasticbag : Matt Jones proposes using Tufte-esque sparklines to expose editing histories on Wikipedia - The assumption being that a clued-up individual would be able to make determinations about the data based upon how controversial or active its editing history appears to have been...

Paul Hammond : Blackbeltjones/work: Tony Stark on Etech - I feel like I've been around those blocks quite a few times now, and I want some genuine outbreaks of the future
plasticbag : Mr Jones on Tony Stark on ETech - "The line up for 2005's Etech has been posted, and so far it seems like the same people talking about the same pet subjects. Not many 'genuine outbreaks of the future' so far." Plus, I'm a Beatle. Which is nice.

plasticbag : Flickr's fruit at the bottom - on bottom-of-the-page site navigation - Ah - after posting a couple of links yesterday about bottom-of-the-page sitemaps and referencing Mr Jones, I've just noticed that he's posted about it too. I've expressed some of my concerns in the comments, if you're interested.
