Tips and Tricks for Google Sites (Annuaire du Vin)
Some useful tips and tricks for Google Sites -- a few that were new to me!
Bookmark Shortcuts (and, optionally, Foxmarks/Xmarks)
Firefox’s bookmark shortcuts are criminally underused. It just makes sense to me to hit CTRL-L (or CTRL-T and then CTRL-L if I want a new tab) and type “g chris lott” to ego surf or “flickrcc dancing monkeys” to search for Creative Commons licensed images on flickr, etc. Here’s a list of my current collection of bookmark shortcuts and the key words I use, some of which you might find useful

"Contrary to the conventional hierarchical way to navigate online (i.e. following an hierarchical "menu"), the focus of this kind of navigation is on the "proximity" (relevance?) of the content that is being displayed." via @CogDog
Mining The Thought Stream
'Twitter may just be a collection of inane thoughts, but in aggregate that is a valuable thing. In aggregate, what you get is a direct view into consumer sentiment, political sentiment, any kind of sentiment. For companies trying to figure out what people are thinking about their brands, searching Twitter is a good place to start. To get a sense of what I’m talking about, try searching for “iPhone,” “Zune,” or “Volvo wagon”.'

Life is tweet: How the Twitter family infiltrated our cultural world | Technology | The Observer
'As Stephen Fry, owner of the second most popular profile on Twitter (more than 160,000 followers), imparted to his fans: "I love to see your tweets: I love your wit, your kindness, your observation, your occasional mean streaks of bitchiness, remorseless logic and your long memories that pounce on my all too frequent inconsistencies and rashly made promises ...

BlockShopper v. Jones Day: The right of Web sites to link. - By Wendy Davis - Slate Magazine
Very troubling: "Consider what it would mean for Web publishers if lots of other companies decided to demand a say over how other sites linked to them. Jones Day wants URLs used as anchor text, but it's not hard to imagine that another company would want something else—a name or a description, for instance. Web sites could then be forced to use different linking protocols for every company they write about. Not only would they lose control over stylistic decisions, but accommodating a variety of individual requests could prove clunky and labor intensive, which also means expensive."
Digital Overload Is Frying Our Brains | Wired Science from Wired.com
"Dark ages are times of forgetting, when the advancements of the past are underutilized. If we forget how to use our powers of deep focus, we'll depend more on black-and-white thinking, on surface ideas, on surface relationships. That breeds a tremendous potential for tyranny and misunderstanding. The possibility of an attention-deficient future society is very sobering. "
