Am working on a large list of links of pages I regularly visit. At the moment it is very incomplete, so have temporarily password protected it.
Backpack
Backpack is a genuinely brilliant site. It is essentially an online personal information manager, giving you the ability to maintain an online diary or keep todo lists, posts photos and all sorts.
Steve Rubel explains it far better than me.
Backpack lets you create and share lists, photos, documents and more in a wiki-like editable Web site you can share – like this one. I am trying it out to share blog links with my client and I love it so far, though I wish it enabled RSS feeds for each page. I see lots of applications here for the PR community including instant press rooms that can be set up in the event of a crisis. Kudos to 37 Signals. It’s also generating a ton of buzz. I bet they’re going to give Jot and Socialtext a run for their money at least in the small biz market.
del.icio.us/theclosedcircle
And here is my del.icio.us page. Both this and the Furl one have RSS feeds to subscribe to.
Furl
Furl is a bookmark manager, rather like del.icio.us, I think. I am going to give both of them a try and see which is most useful, if either. Here’s the link for my Furl page which as yet has only this blog’s index page in it – how sad!
Election 2005 Stuff
So, another Labour government, albeit with a much reduced majority. Probably the best result all round.
Here are some interesting snippets from The Guardian‘s coverage this morning.
- Tony Blair alone bears the blame – Polly Toynbee
- The Tories’ Michael Foot – Max Hastings
- Who won? What next? – Lewis Baston
- BNP doubles its vote as it builds on support in inner cities
The BBC also provides a rather funky Flash-based map with details of all the results, here.
