Things I read today that I found interesting and worthy of comment May 20th:
- Web 3.0 or Not, There's Something Different About 2009 – Yes, I know Web 3.0 is even more lame than Web 2.0 or the phrase "hope and change" to describe anything meaningful. However, this article and more importantly the 5 linked at the bottom do make some interesting reading. Definitely has the create-something-new-n-cool part of my brain engaged. After all tech is just tech, but what you do with it is where the impact is realized, for good or ill.
- The Freemium Model And A Desktop App Get The Thumbs Up With Pandora One (MG Siegler/TechCrunch) – I use the Blackberry app and am quite happy with it. I don't personally have any need for Pandora other than as a mobile filler when I'm on the move and want to listen to music, but my iPod isn't handy. So no interest in the web or desktop application, but I hope Pandora continues to do well and get this stupic internet radio royalty nonsense over and done with.
