I know that the time for New year resolutions has ended, so my attempts at planning may be a little late. Then again, who says you can only make plans on Jan 1?
So here are some of the things I’m aiming to get completed…
1. Finish the redesign and implementation of the new Disposable Media website.
2. Help inspire others by getting my copy in waaaay before deadline for DM issue 6.
3. Investigate web hosting, and moving my blog to a domain of it’s own.
4. Investigate commercial opportunities, to see if I can let the blog pay for itself.
5. Investigate the possibilities of getting free stuff…
Now I know that it’s terribly bad form to admit that I’d be happy to receive free things. And that it’s a path lined with the fallen blogs of those who failed to disclose the exact nature of their involvement with a project. But, it’s also nice to get new toys to play with and review for my elite group of readers.
And I’d be particularly interested in UK and European tech stuff. There’s already enough Americans embracing blogging and technology (God bless ’em!). It’s time us limeys got some free stuff!
Incidentally, a thought came to mind this morning. As more and more information sources become aggregated into the likes of Wikipedia, and video becomes aggregated by Youtube, Google and Flurl, are we losing part of the fun of searching 20 different websites before arriving at an opinion?
Lastly…with all the talk of web 2.0…how come no-one has mentioned the Internet Movie Database? it’s been around for years, offered lists, comments and comparisons, and does a good job… Does it not have enough rounded gradients? Maybe it should rename as IMDBer.com?
Thanks for your answer Daniel!I like the websites you created, it’s pretty fascinating that you have a passion of motorsports.My friend and I recently have recently created a community for people to share common interests I suppose, it barely got started a couple of days, and was wondering if you’d like to join and input your valuable opinions as well.If you choose not to, it’s cool too. I enjoy reading your blog.Anyhow, the website is: twentish.comI’ll bookmark your blog for future reading.Cheers!
Hi,
Thanks for the comment. I pretty much divide my time between the internet, gadgets and technology…and being a frustrated bike/car racer and journalist.
I’ll make sure I check your site today…
