I WANT MY FACEBOOKS BACK NOW PLZ!!!1!
Following a tweeted link to “the funniest comment thread ever”, I spent a few minutes laughing at the expense of hundreds of confused Facebookers. They had been leaving comments on a ReadWriteWeb blog post about a recent venture with AOL to share login access. It took me a few seconds to get the joke: there…

Democracy and the Web: the UK gets it while America tries to control it.
I read yesterday that twitter has been banned from the White House. In the post, Marshall Kirkpatrick joked that this could be a reason we haven’t seen much from Obama’s twitter stream recently. I must admit however, my initial reaction was sympathetic with the White House for pragmatic reasons, though the attitude of the Press…

Web two dot oh plus one, in the cloud, with bells on…
Originally appeared on Nodalities Blog: http://blogs.talis.com/nodalities The tech world is telling a story about the Web and computing, and the mainstream media seem to be catching on. They’re hearing about clouds, wikis, and the history of the World-wide Web. The whole thing reads like some sort of legend… It was an era, long ago, when…

twitter – cloud
I’ve been playing with twitter statistic-stuff a bit lately, and finding it interesting if not purposeful. A company called tweestats will graph your twitter updates; showing you trends, charts, and a “tweetcloud” which shows you your most-used words. I’ve changed mine to a wordle, and thought I’d share it: <img src="https://www.zachbeauvais.com/host/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/Twitter1"

Photos
I’ve added a lightbox photo gallery to the site, if you ever want to have a look at random images they’re there. There’s also a link in the navigation bar. I’m liking this new blog, it’s easier to use and integrates better with Windows Live Writer… except the visual styles… typical.

Hulu, News Corp, and the Web (2.0?)
I know this is behind the game, and that the bleeding edge of blog reviews has moved well beyond online streaming service Hulu (even though it’s not yet out to the public). But I received my beta invite last week and have had all this time to play around with it. My initial thoughts: none.…

Guest Blogger
The good folks over at ZDNet.com have published a couple of posts from my blog. In a bid to increase the scope of their topics, ZDNet have created a blog called Web 2.0 Exlporer, which is made up of guest bloggers’ posts. In this blog, two articles of mine have been posted. Please feel free…

Web 2.0–Don’t call it that!
Describing a company or concept as “Web 2.0” is so, last half-decade. Nevermind that most people still haven’t heard the phrase. If you don’t believe me, go ahead and poll your office or family: unless you’re not allowed out of the IT dungeon or your family all work as tech-bloggers, my guess is that they…
