Videos!

I’ve been adding plenty of video’s to my VodPod, but of course they don’t appear in the RSS feed, so those that don’t regularly visit the site won’t know they are there. So, here’s a list of some of the video’s…

A perfect blog post

Evan Davis, BBC News’ economics guy, has a pretty good blog called Evanomics (nice). Yesterday he posted on the hot topic of the moment, private equity. And as a blog post, for me it is pretty close to perfect. For…

A knowledge management search engine

The latest stage of my attempt to take over the world of vertical search is KMSearch, which focuses on knowledge management resources. As well as the search engine, there is a wiki to manage the site, which includes the list…

The importance of the browser

Simon Dickson points out that the latest Beta of Safari, the web browser for the MacOS operating system, has now been ported to Windows. I’ve just installed the new public beta of Apple’s Safari browser on my Windows PC. It…

Marc Andreessen, one of the trailblazers of the web – he was the co-author of Mosaic, the first mass market web browser, as well as a founder of Netscape (find out more at his Wikipedia entry) – has started his own blog.…

BookZilla

BookZilla is another customised search site, like LGSearch, that I knocked together this afternoon. I think it is pretty obvious what it does. I’m running it through Palimpsest, the books discussion site I facilitate, with any ad revenue going towards the…

Hospital Waiting Room Blogging?

Iain Dale points to something which I thought would be very interesting: If you want to know why the NHS is in an administrative mess read THIS post on the 2020health.org site. It is a live ‘waiting room’ blog. Although,…

Movable Type now Open Source

Movable Type is the blogging engine used by TypePad blogs, and is available for download and installation on your own server. Think of the relationship between the two being like WordPress.com and WordPress.org. Movable Type and TypePad (as well as…

Gearing Up

Google Gears is already being picked up by third party developers, as reported by LifeHacker. Remember the Milk is a nice online social task (or todo list) manager. Only now it’s offline too. As reported on the Remember the Milk…

From Small Acorns…

Whilst not quite making me a dotcom millionaire, it was still very gratifying and exciting to get a cheque from Google through the post – thanks to the adverts on LGSearch. The amount was pretty small, but it pays for…

Roundup

Here’s a few items that have caught my eye today: Ning – the do it yourself social networking platform – now makes it possible to add audio to your networks, something that was seriously lacking before. Now music, podcasts and…

Logos – here and London 2012

I’ve created a new logo for LGNewMedia as part of the redesign of the site, so it’s a little more along the lines of that used for LGSpace. I use the ‘Crystal Clear’ graphics set as a source, which can…

LGNewMedia 2.0

I’ve been redesigning the layout for this blog, using a cool new theme by Andreas Viklund. I like the fact that the whole width of the screen is used, and having two sidebars means that I can pack in some…

Google Gears

Google’s been doing plenty of work, and buying, to create an office suite which runs online. Those who see it as a potential Microsoft killer are always challenged on the fact that the online tools are great while you have…

Demofuse and Screencast-o-Matic

Two fairly similar services here, brought to my attention by the ever reliable TechCrunch. Demofuse allows you to create ‘tours’ of your websites, to demonstrate functionality, say. It looks very useful indeed, and will be something I will be using…

Mahalo

Jason Calacanis has launched Mahalo, a human edited search engine, based on the MediaWiki platform used by, amongst others, Wikipedia. It’s funny, I remembered immediately the blog post Jason wrote about buying the Mahalo domain and not knowing what to…
