Condense the sense

Waiting for an invite from strawberry but have created a news paper and embedded it on a new page in this blog. At this stage I'll just have a weekly paper and I can probably stop buying The Australian on saturdays- it is a woeful, prejudiced and opinionated rag! Actually,  there was one article I found interesting about collaborative consumerism which reported the work of Rachel Botsman. Its all about how social media is allowing people to share resources like homes, offices, cars rather than just owning everything outright- bit of a new take on our relationship to the means and forces of production. I think I'm going have a look on twitter too.

I did not find TopicMarks comfortable to use and it was frustrating trying tp think of links etc to put in but I did find newsorganiser http://www.newsorganizer.com/ useful and i put its rss feed into wibbitz


Also I came across the peeplo search engine http://au.peeplo.com/ wich searches through blogs and domains too and it has a widget to enable sharing social media.
