What is more inspiring than listening to your music? Yes I’m talking to you iPod fans out there who may or may not have been listening to the same playlist over and over and ovar again.. That’s what I did at least with my little mini iPod for about a year or so until i got bored with it. I never actually got round to making new playlists, mainly because I believe listening to music should also be a relaxing, inspiring and surprising experience.. okay, and I’m too lazy and easily bored to spend my sundays making playlists. Sorry for the rant here. Let’s start again..

- this blogpost does not contain answers -

MySpace, Friendster, Cyworld, Yahoo 360, Hyves, Hi5, 43People, LinkedIn, Spaces .. the list goes on and on. Then there’s Blogger, Wordpress, Flickr, Flock, Digg, Ohmynews, Current TV, NowPublic etc.. . and the all combining Technorati, Del.icio.us and Wikipedia. Almost forgot the oldies MSN, Skype, AIM, .

I just found a link to eye-spot, a video upload, control, trim and mixer tool to share creations with your friends. This is the kind of tool which is really good for a good laugh and some creativity.

It kind of reminds me of the weddingcrashers crash trailer or the senseo mixer (shameless plug)
I really feel these are the kind of tools that make the internet a much more fun place. To enable anybody to create content, and to create a smile on the face behind your desk

Subscriptions seem to be the way to go. No need to go and find all the information youself, get information as it becomes available. Not much has changed really, although if you put it into a slightly new perspective, such as search - via russell beattie - you might just find that hidden gem of a service. As searching is so comprehensive and covers the entire web, subscribing to keywords could be very big, and a very useful service on many levels.

Think about mobile handsets, how it can be that we all have one and use it to talk and send text messages to anybody and everybody know. How did it get so far? How can it be that in many European countries every person has one or more mobile phones - a penetration rate of 120% is not uncommon. One reason could be because of the technologies relied on their own ubiquity.. This might sound confusing, but think about it.
