  1. Bit Literacy and GooToDo

    Mark Hurst from Good Experience and GEL Conference (Good Experience Live), gave a presentation that was basically about productivity, time management and a product he created called GooToDo . GooToDo allows the user to quickly send an email to the service and it gets turned into a todo item that is dated. When the user logs into the GooToDo site you see ONLY the work that you need to on that day. There was much skepticism about the utility of this tool for a broad audience.

  2. BarCamp on Flickr, and a cool different way to view them

    There are tons of pictures of people at BarCamp up on Flickr . BarCamp and BarCamp NYC were two of the most popular tags on Flickr over the weekend. I guess that is what happens when a bunch of geeks with digital cameras and WiFi access hang out for 48 hours. I posted a link to this hack from Rasmus Lerdorf (that he showed at DrupalCon Amsterdam) to the BarCamp wiki but wanted to get it into the various aggregated feeds. So I post it again here.

  3. Big Weekend at BarCamp

    I spent the weekend at barcamp in NYC. Lots of cool conversations, interesting things learned and people met. I blogged a bit about it and did 5 podcasts, all over at CivicActions.com

  4. Narcissistic use pf a Flickr Hack

    I just remembered these yahoo hacks that i saw at DrupalCon in amsterdam, and I played around a bit with the Flickr one. Click here to see some pictures of me from flickr

  6. Three Questions with Amit Gupta

    So if youhave been listening to these podcasts, you have realized by now that “Three Questions with…” is just a title and has nothing to do with the number of questions I actually ask. It is, however, the way I dupe my subjects into participating in the podcast: “Hey Amit, can I ask you three questions for my podcast?” Anyway, this is the shortest one of the batch, I think that both Amit and I were pretty burnt out, he more than me perhaps, but the point is after two marathon days of sessions, discussions, debates, blogging, tagging, photographing, it was hard to muster the energy to talk more.

  7. Three Questions with Jakob Lodwick (of ConnectedVentures)

    This is a short conversation with Jakob Lodwick of Connected Ventures . BarCamp is happening at ConnectedVentures’ office. Jakob works on CollegeHumor.com and Vimeo.com , a video sharing and social networking site. Yesterday Jakob lead a talk about soft links in social networks. I talked about it a little bit in my first podcast from yesterday. Basically the idea is that there isn’t just one type of connection between people, we have different connections, social networking applications should recognize that. The machines should be able to learn the strength of our connections based upon how we give our attention. If I look at your flickr pictures all the time, but not the photos of another contact, then flickr should stop showing me the other person’s and show me more of yours.

  8. (Way More Than) Three Questions with Chris Messina at BarCampNYC

    I just talked to Chris Messina of Flock and formerly of CivicSpaceLabs about Microformats, Flock, Attention and BarCamp. Chris is one of the Founders of BarCamp and seemed to be pleased with the outcome so far here in NYC. He was also happy to answer way more than three questions, even given the late hour… Listen here barcamp

  10. CivicActions First podcast (from BarCamp, saturday Night)

    Noel and I just spent 30 minutes recording ourselves talking about bar camp. At the urging of noel, and some others who listened to us record the session, and against my better judgement, I am posting an unedited MP3 here. This was recorded with a Samson C01U studio condensor USB mic, and Audacity on my IBM power Book.
