Google stepping up to the metaverse plate, marketing in an ad-free world, useful freeware, Rushkoff on marketing…
-
1 – Google ‘to test rival to Second Life’
“The search giant is set to trial an online virtual universe that would compete with Second Life, sources suggest.” Only a rumour so far, but more than plausible.
-
2 – In A World With No Ads, What Do Marketers Do?
Jason Stoddard knows what he’s on about. Out with marketing, in with Social Relations.

3 – Write An Article A Day To Boost Your Career
“At the end of the seven days you will be a better writer. You’ll write much more easily too because this technique primes your idea pump. I guarantee that when you’re working on one article, you’ll get ideas for three others.”

4 – CDBurnerXP Software (Windows)
“CDBurnerXP is a free application to burn CDs and DVDs, including Blu-Ray and HD-DVDs.” Looks like a good freeware product.
-
5 – Screenshot Captor Software (Windows)
“Screenshot Captor is a program for taking screenshots on your computer.” Has bells and whistles, but they;’re all pretty functional. Looks like a keeper.

6 – Second Life Sketches: Drive My Car
“I long ago lost count of the number of times that vehicle testing left me buried in the side of a mountain, jutting out of the sea bed like some mutant anemone, or folded up in a contortionist’s nightmare at the bottom of a pit.”

7 – Doug Rushkoff on the Technologies of Persuasion
“… this Blink/LizardBrain/CultureOfPropaganda nonsense is just a way for sold-out intellectuals to sell books to cynical marketers. It’s all based on the faulty observation that human beings make all of their choices in the same reptilian fashion.”
