DISQUS

Mostly painless? Mostly? Ooh dear... nevermind. Menori's popularity has took a dip of late, probably due to the fact that I haven't posted much recently that is worth reading!

Bravo Dan. The site looks better than ever and your quality of writing is something to be desired.

I remember some moons ago when I started making noise about blogging probably 4 years or so ago. I found Blogger and tested the waters looking for a sinple way to publish to the web (Radio Userland was also on my list but needed an installable client). I saw blogging then as a means to captures one's thoughts but primarily in a project context - maybe as a project diary. My greatest level of interest came from using a blog as a knowledge management tool.

Since then everyone has carved their own niche in the 'blogosphere' and I think everyone has managed their time in the spotlight. You've had your iPod recognition, you and Steve had your JK Rowling moments, Ashleigh has achieved fame with his *ahem* video phone posting and his recent PS3 rumblings on BlogCritics and I had 15 minutes of fame for being the first person to post about Windows Live Writer.

I agree completely, it's fun, it's rewarding and everyone has got something to share.

It's the future mate. When Jeff Bezos invested in Second Life you got the impression it was going somewhere other than just being a 'game'. (That said Jeff Bezos thought the Segway was going to revolutionise cities). When I saw the article about adverts in Second Life and Flickr photo displays as well it gave me the impression that this would be a massive marketing tool. We'll eventually live in a world where everything is free and we pay to not see adverts.

I've just taken a survey for Live Mail and it was all about the positioning of adverts. It was extremely cleverly done.

I suppose Duran Duran will look better in a Virtual World than they do in real life. Will they sound as good though? I might just have to dust off that VR helmet... :-)

Once again great insight Dan..

OMG. That is just so good..

The hype cycle for the iPod reached it's crescendo some time ago I think. When I walk the streets of London 'everyone' has got one - only the head phone differ sometimes. And New York is pretty much the same. A video iPod is not exciting as it's nothing new - Archos have been doing it for a long time. Anyhow, enough about Apple (of whom I think the company is more exciting than it's products at the moment) and more about Xvox 360!!!

He he he.. Cheese, Jam, Coal, Ninja, Zombies, Barry....
