LinkedIn news feed

LinkedIn just added a Facebook style news feed as their landing page. Much nicer way to see what’s new with your professional network.

Other than Google, name one software application or web service launched after 2000 that you couldn’t live without? What, in other words, would you take with you to a desert island with wi-fi?
Asked on Infectious Greed (forwarded by Dave). For me, it would my RSS reader NetNewsWire.

I'm thinking about going to Macworld Expo

It’s been awhile since I’ve been to Macworld. The user conference has a photography track that looks kind of fun. Also, I’ve been meaning to setup a podcast for sometime now. There’s a lab oriented class on podcasting that looks cool.

I’m hoping for a new iPhone release. I’d guess Apple will be upping storage on the device to at least 16gb to get it in line with the iPod Touch. A 3G annoucement would be rock’n!

So far, my most used new feature in Leopard is Spaces. Yes, they’re just virtual desktops. But it’s very well implemented. Interestingly, I think it makes it possible to work very effectively on a small screen. Makes the 15” and 17” laptops less important.

More than 25 million people are using Facebook every single day. Each person is viewing more than 40 pages a day, more than 65 billion page views a month.

Great Ted talk on copyright in the online world by Larry Lessig. If you’ve never seen him speak, definitely watch this talk. His presentation style is great.

Social networks have put most of their faith in advertising. But people don’t go to MySpace to find products or information. Users are so engrossed with talking to friends and posting party pictures that they pay little or no attention to the ads.
