Friday Links I

16 February 2007

Welcome, welcome one and all to the inaugural Friday Links! As mentioned earlier this week, the whole point of just posting links on Friday is because I’m not really coherent enough by this point in the week to write anything “proper”, so I’m going to stop writtering and start linking:

NetNewsWire 3 Beta – NetNewsWire is pretty much the most popular desktop RSS reader, and version 3 has all sorts of new goodies coming in it, including a whole new UI (which I’m not sure if I like yet).

Monocle launches their first issue – I have to admit, from a content point of view I’m finding it kind to get though, but the design and layout is wonderful.

Ben Metcalfe: Do we really want to aggregate all our social networks? – Insightful points from Ben; their are a lot of tech people that really don’t seem to understand what attracts people to social networks, and how they actually use them.

Microsoft Launches another form of DRM – seriously. They’re not joking. Amusing timing considering the recent Steve Jobs DRM debate.

BarCampLondon 2 – this weekends plans. I’m thinking of chairing a discussion of digital music formats and future possibilities for distribution of music.

Future of Web Apps Conference – next weeks plans. Looking forward to listening to Khoi Vinh, Matthew Ogle and many others.
