If I was Dave Winer I’d say “bing” or something like that.

Seblogging Bloglines RSS Goes AWOL
Seems like Bloglines is having some trouble with Manila RSS feeds, Anne Davis having experienced a similar fate to Seb who disappeared of my radar a bit back only to pop up in a pubsub alive and kicking (thank god I have vanity feeds eh :O) So, if, like me, you’re a blogliner (and I …
Powerpoint Audio / Video Presentations
Scott comes up with some interesting possibilities for Lamb-esque presentation without the costs of Breeze. The open office solutions sounds like a good possibility, am very impressed (but unsurprised) by the quality and breadth of Robin Good’s exploration of PowerPoint to Flash tools and it seems to be the case that, realistically, Flash is the …

A couple of central quotes …

WikiRadio – The hits keep coming…
The hits keep coming, Brian Lamb’s WikiRadio Presentation. He’s “tingling with wikicitement” Absolutely ace! How the heck do I do this without Breeze… I want to want to wants to… doubt if I could make it this good though. “You are about as funny as a flat tyre on an ambulance” “We wanna be free …

Have only been able to get online for about 30 seconds today so haven’t had the chance to read much but one thing I have read struck a serious chord on the awards front. Scott commented that: “on the one hand, it’s great to recognize excellence and all of the hard work some folks have …

Manifest-o
Alex links to a heap of sites on writing Manifestos: * How to write a manifesto * Another manifesto assignment with links to some more notorious ones * A manifesto-writing tutorial (follow at own risk) * The Scottish Parliament has some ideas on manifesto writing, too: pdf Have to say I was tempted by the …
