Midweek Roundup

Getting to hump day, and a few things on my centerscreen.

1. Added Twitter, which is really just a way for me to entertain myself. The nice thing about it is that I can send a message to a gtalk account or send an SMS and it will update it.

2. This stuff's pretty amazing. Who needs Last.fm (the server's so slow!) or Pandora, when you can pick your tunes the musicovery way. (Prepare to spend at least a half hour exploring this.)

3. Interesting web-based student management system called Centre. Pick it up, customize and sell.

4. The French have more reason to fume. Or maybe not.

5. The top 100 alternative search engines. Yes, there's more than two.

6. I've turned off my widgets -- memory hogs -- but for those of you who have them, here's an overview of Apple's Dashboard, Microsoft Windows Vista Sidebar, Yahoo Widgets and Google Desktop Gadgets.

7. Where's the cheapest car insurance in town?

8. People who watch YouTube watch less TV. Like, yeah, you need to tell me that.

9. The effect of typeface on email usability. This will make my intern feel a bit special.

10. Finally, I really want a Wii.

Comments

I'm a Pandora user myself, but damn, this Musicovery thing is fun! I think I'll be listening to this all night.

Elber,

Well, it isn't perfect. And I do prefer Last.fm because it tracks what I listen to (but it does tend to repeat itself too much). Still, musicovery's interface is too much fun.

Car insurance?
