I found (via FastCompany) a video on Web 2.0 that is super-helpful. It's a 24 minute video from TechCrunch. I love the end where all these guys are asked what browser they use. Care to guess?
In the video Arrington conducts conversations with 13 Web 2.0 CEOs about what Web 2.0 is, whether we're in a bubble, what business models work, what is the role of publishers, and how important and how large is the early adopter crowd, along with other issues related to user adoption trends and technology. For certain, Web 2.0 is about technologies such as Ajax, Mash-Ups, Flash, Tagging, and open source applications. But mostly Web 2.0's central focus is user participation.
Participants included Joe Kraus (Jotspot), Scott Milener (Browster), David Sifry (Technorati), Auren Hoffman (Rapleaf), Chris Alden (Rojo), Jonathan Abrams (Socializr), Aaron Cohen (Bolt), Jeremy Verba (Piczo), Steven Marder (Eurekster), Matt Sanchez (Video Egg), Godhwani (Simply Hired), Keith Teare (edgeio), and Michael Tanne (Wink).
Speaking of Web 2.0, last week Joe Carter (Evangelical Outpost) and I met with Justin Taylor (I hear J.I. Packer calls him Justin the Squire!) and a couple of other Crossway Publisher folks about blogging & reviewing books. Very good conversation, and some great people.
I am trying out Browster because of the 2.0 video. Wow, it's very interesting. Anyone else trying it? You need to check it out.
I'm pumped about GTDGmail. If you haven't read Getting Things Done by David Allen, and/or if you aren't implimenting GTD in your life, please give it a look. And then you can get GTDGmail and really geek out.
Watch the "Lecture Musical" from Prangstgrup. Hilarious.

Speaking of "the good life," if you are a Southern Baptist you need to read this critical article from former SBC President Bobby Welch. We need more wisdom like this!
I understand one pastor's blog site indicates he believes his drinking assists him in soul-winning!...
We have many outstanding young pastors and others on their way to leading this Convention to...do it as "sipping saints,"...as...soul winners! God help us to...elect a user or promoter of the use of alcoholic beverages to...leadership...!
Please don't sent hate mail. It's a joke. ;) Bobbay is SOOOO funny.
