Today’s Friday, so that means I have a bunch of cool links for you. However, today is also Friday the 13th. In honor of the occasion, my first link is to a domain name I have for sale: FridayTheThirteenth.com. I have the bidding starting at only $2,000. Now let’s get on to the rest of the links.
Electric beauty – “Koenigsegg’s Solar Car Is Like an Electric Batmobile” You got that right, Giz.
Real F1 car driven by phone – At first, I thought this was just an RC car driven by a Blackberry Storm, and it was until a little ways into the video where they show it redone on a larger scale, in a real F1. Seriously cool tech.
Crowd Media – I can see more of this stuff coming down the pipe. These guys used Amazon’s Mechanical Turk to have thousands of people contribute independently to a final production they had no knowledge of. The song results are cool, but the $100 bill results are more rewarding, I think.
Peoplebrowsr – It’s like Twitter on crack or maybe it’s just crack for Twitter. Whatever it is, assume some form of crack reference.
Photoshop Fun – Valentine’s day may have come and gone, but this tutorial can be applied to any graphics, really, so bust out those shamrocks and a green pallet and make some really cool imagery.
iamnews.com – iamnews.com is “the world’s first open news agency”. I’m not 100% sure what that means, but it makes me think of BloggersBase.com (crowd-contributed articles) and NowPublic.com (crowd-contributed media for their news articles). I wonder if this is where news media is headed as more and more people are writing blogs and putting media online.
FairShare – I recently dumped my blog information into this site and added the RSS feed to my reader and although it does turn up a couple blog community results, it showed me a content scraper today who had scraped one of my posts. The ability to quickly jump on a scraper is nice, so I like that FairShare is doing all the hard work and finding them for me.
Recesstion investment strategies – Those who have any money left in these tough times need to be careful about where it’s invested and this some pretty good advice on the topic.
St Patrick’s Day – Like wearing the green? Wanna take the day off? Get one step closer by voting to make it a national holiday. Why not?
