For 2007, our Best Web LittleCo was Twitter, the microblogging/status application that captured the collective attention of Silicon Valley at SXSW last winter and has been on a meteoric rise ever since. We picked Twitter because it “has captured the imagination and become a new hybrid of chat, social networking and blogging.” But, unlike 2006’s Best LittleCo YouTube, which has...

I like twitter →
I don’t always have the fortitude to do longer blog posts. They end up being me talking about lots of different sites and news items and about my life. But it’s to the void. I like sending links out on twitter and then having a conversation about it if it interests someone. I think if I wanted to write a really long piece I would do it here. I like the skill and the art of writing. I like words....

College Freshmens’ Minds Rarely Expand →
It is time to 5retire the ideal of the first year in college as a roller-coaster ride of exploded prejudices, mind expansion and self-discovery, writes James M. Lang, an English professor at Assumption College in Massachusetts in the Chronicle of Higher Education. Freshmen today are simply too practical. Mr. Lang’s own experiences with students dovetail with a recent survey by Tim Clydesdale, an...

Redux Discovers Friends So You Don’t Have To →
You’re probably familiar with the “recommended items” lists on sites like Amazon or Barnes and Noble. They help discover things you’ll probably like based on what you buy and what you view. Redux founder Darian Shirazi wants to apply the same power of discovery to growing communities of people online. The site is launching into beta today. This site is part social network and part quiz show with...

Twitter - Public Timeline = Prologue →
http://mashable.com/ Perhaps we can call this one a de-mashup? Automattic has apparently been recently bit by the Twitter bug, and has become inspired by the format to create something that caters a bit towards the group blogging community, it would appear. The functionality of the system is that it creates mini-Twitter groups on the domain of your choice (separate from the actual Twitter...

Okay, politics time. I’m a political junkie, but I’ve largely kept that out of xkcd (other than occasional cracks about science and net-related issues). So this will be a one-time thing — after this post, you’ll hear no more political advocacy on this site for the rest of the election. But I think we’re at a balance point, where a few words between friends who are generally in agreement might...
