Things I read today that I found interesting and worthy of comment June 26th:
- Blood Pact: Return to the depths of the third tree! – Hmmm. a direction to ponder as alternate spec.
- Blood Pact: Spelling test – Great stuff and why Naiimtaqr, my warlock is and will always be my "main".
- The OverAchiever: Guide to Midsummer Fire Festival achievements – Purely a link for my own reference. If you don't WoW, nm.
- Mollyshot makes a video for The Guild's "Worst guildie… Evar!" Competitions – If you don't play an MMO or know what the online show about MMO's "The Guild" is, don't bother watching, but the rest of you, enjoy! The WoW Guild I'm a member of is asking for this type of "The Guild" style mock-guild-admission video and this is the first I've seen. Well done!
- Coming Soon: AppDowner, a BitTorrent-Powered App Store Replacement – Cool idea. I didn't know there were alternate stores for the iPhone. Definitely would cause me to consider jailbreaking if I were to slip to the dark-side and get an iPhone.
- How Facebook Could Create a Revolution, Do Good, and Make Billions – Really a good thought-provoking article deserving a careful reading. Sure, it's a bit of a "throw around a bunch of ideas to see what sticks" kind of thing as I can think of several holes to poke at some of the specifics. However, tying in what Facebook could be to VRM concepts, which I agree has been far too academic driven, is looking in the right direction. Give it a read and see what you think. Me? I think that Facebook is likely to fumble the ball unless they drive their service towards both strengthening and anonymizing their identity model. I know that sounds contradictory, but it isn't. Perhaps I'll find the time to post a specific blog post on 1) why this is important and 2) how it is possible / not contradictory.
