Always act on your ideas…

It’s good to be back at a PC after a few days of illness. It means I’ve got a bit of catching up to do (thank God for Firfox Live Bookmarks), so I better get started.

A while back i signed up my Xbox 360 Gamertag to the www.360voice.com service, which posts a daily blog ‘written’ by your Xbox about what you’ve been playing.(Mine’s here btw).

Combined with the likes of Amazon and Last.fm, that got me thinking about how cool it would be to share everything you’re doing. Websites viewed, applications used, music listened to, videos watched etc, all in one place, and all automatically presented, so you don’t have to blog about it.

My only concerns were around whether an audience would put sharing above any privacy issues, and what happens when I accidentally click on a naughty web link and all my friends and colleagues can witness it…

Well, Slifeshare is taking that risk, and allowing users to share sites, music, video and whatever live app is running. Plus you can invite friends and track groups as a whole, with charts for top artists, sites, feeds etc.

I’ll be intrigued to see if this is a convergence step too far…

I’m ill….again…

Sorry for the lack of updates, but I’m really rather ill at the moment. Normal service will be resumed as soon as I can….

My own convergence…

I’m slowly, but surely, taking the web 2.0 mantra of convergence on board, and finally organising and converging my many web outlets and identities.

So if you’re on Myspace, feel free to add me at:

And make sure you also add:

and
http://www.myspace.com/disposable media.

You can also find motorcyclenews on Youtube. Go to http://www.youtube.com/motorcyclenewsdotcom

Obviously I’m also on MyBlogLog, but it’s interesting that Jason Calcanis has suffered from some alleged MyBlogLog hacking. Thank God my obscurity should keep me safe from harm!

Speaking of Google….

Seeing as I may have tempted someone to spend some money with Google, it’s only fair the favour is returned.

You may have noticed the two lovely Google ads in the column to the right ——–>

They’re referrals ads, so I’m allowed to point out where they are etc. And luckily, they’re both things I use, and am quite happy to recommend. So if you do decide to sign up for Google Adwords, or to download Firefox, you can guess which buttons I’m going to suggest you click to get there…

It won’t make the slightest bit of difference to your experience, but it might enable me to make this blog a better place to be. It’ll certainly make this blogger a little happier
