Gawker media revels new functionaliy that allows people to select their favourite commenters and track them on their own version of their homepage.
Via PSFK and Wired.

This is doing the rounds - nice idea. A load of internet parodies and humour all in one place. Enjoy.
Thanks Yacco.

Scoble is live Twittering the birth of his son. Blimey.
Via Hugh. If only he called him Twitter, or Meebo, or Ning or something like that.

UPDATE: Still in labour as of midnight Thursday.
2nd UPDATE: Milan has been born ! Welcome to this crazy earth.

Don’t worry - I’m not just going to post GIFs every few days . . . But - here’s one my mate Tom created to go into the best man speech at my wedding, basically taking the mickey out of my dancing skills. Anyway, I thought it was cool and I’m glad a GIF made an extra special appearance on the day (as well as a reference to my love of the Mac).

PS - was a lot younger when the headshot was taken . . .

Also like to see files being named nicely. Nice one b3ta.

Haven’t read and digested yet. Sure it will will be a sensible summary of plain old common sense but it’s always nice to have. Full post about it with lots of extra links here at Digital Influence Mapping Project. Wonder what Tom Coates thinks?

So, after getting married, then being away on honeymoon for a few weeks, then coming back to work for two days, getting ill, being off sick for the rest of the week, coming back to work, then having to work from home for two days because of the tube strike . . . I’m back and at last feel ready to plug myself back into everything. And it hurts.

My RSS reader is bulging to the point where I think I’m gonna wipe it and start again. Email has slowed everything down to the point where I’m using webmail while I catch up and wade through everything on the desktop. Facebook is packed full of people weeing on me, poking me, inviting me to join weird groups. And the blog . . . . well it’s just as I left it but is really intimidating me.

THere’s so much to say. Read loads while I was away. Had a chance to really think about stuff. Being submerged in a completely non-digital culture and being offline for so long has given me a really fresh perspective on everything (I think!). Plus geting married . . . what a day that was. Absolutely amazing.

So - just as when I started the blog, I’m going to plunge back into everything. This time though I’m gonna try not to hold back as much as I think I was doing before and just let everything flow. Right now though, it feels like a bit of a mountain.

Thanks Esaba
