Salon and Technorati, sitting in a tree, L-I-N-K-I-N-G.

I met a Fundable guy at SxSW who was pushing the service hard, now that it’s up and running it looks pretty neat.

So according to Preople I should use Matthew instead of Matt, though I have no idea what that number is based on. I found this service via Om and it seems like the whole rank thing is a clever way to get you to register and start blogging. Here’s my Preople blog and profile page. Capitalizing on people’s ego is always a sure bet, so I predict this service might do pretty well, though it obviously has some very rough edges right now.

When wikis go bad

Using Gmail as a spam filter, a fantastic idea. Works for any address.

TaskThis is another ta-da list clone that is actually much more impressive. Rails rails rails rails rails. I think it’s time for me to check out Rails again.

Someone cloned all of Ta-da List into Bla-Blah List which uses Flash for the interface instead of HTML/JS. What’s even more interesting is it’s all Open Source, so now I could run my own copy of Ta-da on one of my machines. Too bad the backend is in Java and not something I could easily run, like PHP, Python, Ruby, or Perl.

Why Microformats rock.

Ice.com, which sells jewelery, has a neat blog. Cool. (Groan…) Hat tip: Kenneth via email.

Yahoo Term Extraction looks really cool.

I’m in Florence and it’s absolutely beautiful here, but a little damp. Ciao!
