Big companies & their blogs: Chris Anderson points to a wiki that Wired and SocialText have set up to compile a list of blogs related to Fortune 500 companies.
Quote:
“Once we’ve got this list in pretty good shape, we plan to add share price data to create a Business Blogging Index, comparing the stock performance of companies that blog with those that don’t.”
Note: I’m trying to rack my brain to think of another magazine that has used a wiki for a special feature. I can think of a magazine publishing company that has set up a wiki (okay, here’s the wiki and here’s the company), but I can’t think of another wiki with a magazine brand attached to it. I’m sure there are some, but I haven’t run across them. Also, another side note: I think it’s a first for a magazine owned by one media company (Wired, Condé Nast) to have a feature carrying the brand of another magazine owned by another media company (Fortune, Time Inc.). That’s very Magazine 2.0.

Rex’s predictions: Rex Sorgatz makes his annual predictions for “Media, Technology, and Pop Culture”.
Quote:
“A new Pew study will reveal something about internet use that will be drastically over-cited by people who are reading this blog post.”
Also, Rex’s List of lists now lists more than 500 lists. I predict that one day, historians, novelists and movie set designers will depend on Rex Sorgatz’s list of lists to provide them with a sense of the era’s zeitgeist based not only on the words we searched but the kitchen utensils we used. Unfortunately, I also predict that when those historians, et al, need them, there will be lots of dead links.

Flickr calendar view: I guess I’ve had a little more time to play around with Flickr while on vacation because I’ve noticed some features I’ve never seen before. One of these features that’s new to me (is it just me?) is the Flickr calendar view. It seems like such a simple idea, so obvious. I guess that’s why it seems so brilliant to me.
For example, recently Doc Searls has been posting some incredible sunrise shots from his home. Here are the shots via his “date taken” calendar view. Pretty cool.
I know it will inspire me to post more photos — if for no other reason than to be able to have a quick visual reference of where I was when, and what I was doing while there.
