plasticbag : TechCrunch UK covers Fire Eagle pretty positively, only pausing to point out the lack of applications - It's a reasonable point, but it's worth remembering that this is a developer launch aimed at getting people to build applications against the Fire Eagle APIs. We'll be showing off some of these very soon.

plasticbag : TechCrunch talks about Bravo Nation (a Yahoo! Brickhouse launch) and doesn't really get on with it terribly well - I've obviously played with Bravo and I think Arrington is missing something here. The service is, above all, characterful and fun. It's still developing but if it keeps that character as it goes I think it could easily find an audience.

Linkorama : Nobody Gets Laid At BarCamp - BarCamp is a conference sort of thing that revolves around a Wiki. Basically you sign up to come pitch your useless startup to a bunch of other jerkoffs who are pitching their useless startups, and it doesn't stop until everyone gets a full release.
