Does anyone participate in or actively read any blog carnivals? I follow Buttonmashing’s Carnival of Gamers regularly and occasionally catch carnival of the mobilists, but that’s it. I’m surprised there isn’t a prominent, solid web services carnival. Am I simply missing it?
I would like to participate in a carnival for web 2.0. [...]

This is a blatent repost of this boing boing post, but it’s too good to pass up. This was the eternal dilemma in college:

This is currently the background on my desktop.

Dogpile was the last search engine (technically it was a meta search engine) I used regularly before I started using Google exclusively.  At the time Dogpile was great.  I was already searching the same keywords on multiple search engines in order to find the highest quality pages, and Dogpile made it much simpler perform and [...]

This recent podcast with Fred and Brad of Union Square Ventures (my employer) is a great summary of the ideas and principles that color the conversations we have around the office. This podcast is part of the BusinessWeek podcast series. It’s definitely worth your time.
This post is more than just pushing Fred and [...]

I visited BarCampNYC2 over the weekend (check out the Technorati Tags for others discussing the subject). I wasn’t a real active participant, and I was only there for a few hours, but it was a remarkable experience. Lots of collaboration, cooperation, discussion, debate, and other fun academic exercises with a geeky twist.
