Multi-​​Calendar Misery?

I work at an office. I also work from home. I also work when I’m out and about (some­times). Oh yes, some­times I work on a PC, some­times a Mac. So what do I do about my calendar? Well, Google Calendar is a pretty good solution in many respects. I can get to the inform­a­tion from anywhere I can get an internet connection.

Clever, writer-​​type wanted

Anney from Prospect rang me up to ask if I knew anyone who might fit the fol­lowing role — which I assume is UK-​​​​based. I said no, but that I’d ask around:

“My client is a start up social enter­prise that uses Web 2.0 and online social net­working for a “pro-​​​​social” purpose. Through search and pro­filing the site will

Is it me?

PR man James Warren emailed me to ask if I’d look at the beta version of izimi, one of his clients, and write about it on my blog. Since it’s the sort of Web 2.0 applic­a­tion that twopoin­touch is about, I’m game.

It’s a social-​​​​network-​​​​cum-​​​​file-​​​​sharing site. You get a desktop applic­a­tion (Windows only at the moment)

Ambrose Bierce and Internet Startups

I rarely dip into Valleywag — it’s about Californians and I live in London, basic­ally. But I luckily stumbled on today’s devil’s dic­tionary post. The fol­lowing might be worth renewing my subscription:

Folksonomy: A defin­i­tion system by which the language’s most important word becomes “porn.“ Meme: An idea best expressed on a bumper sticker. Monetize: To suck
