- Westmin.co.uk is a little forum for people who live in and around Westminster in London It's not a glimpse of the future of technology, but if a few more people were using it, it could become quite a useful resource. I wish UpMyStreet Conversations was still a useful site to do this kind of thing on...
- Kevin Marks has assembled a pretty useful and interesting grid of the various ways you can consume TV at the moment I don't think he really talks about the problems with BitTorrent in terms of download speeds and how that offsets some of the cost stuff of services like iTunes, but generally this is a pretty solid statement of the pros and cons...
- PistolWimp.com has this insane piece of Google video featuring thousands of insane machines made of books and marbles and magnets and stuff Ludicrously addictive ten minutes of viewing awaits you. Say it with me everyone: pata-kowa-so-ree-chi! I've no idea what it means but I can't get it out of my head.
- An interesting post on ways people game digg.com Basically people are setting up forums where people can trade diggs with one another to get their links onto the homepage. Digg are unsurprisingly not keen on this as an approach. Interesting social dynamic going on there...
