Flickr is a thriving hub of creativity and instpiration. With this new site I intend to explore flickr and have conversations with some of the brains behind the pictures.
The idea is to introduce a spirit of endlessnessism to the site and get each interviewee to interview their favourite contacts so a big tree of conversations opens up.
Drew Anderson is my first victim. Read the interview here: http://www.interviewr.net/
I’m in that podcasting mood again. Here’s a little mix i’ve assembled with a bit of randomness in mind. Its not shuffled but the links are pretty abstract. I’ve been observing a lot of freaky coincidences lately and felt this a good opportunity to celebrate it. Chances are, if we’ve not met yet, we will. And if we don’t you probably know one of the songs from this playlist and we can all draw connections between you, me and a song. And you’re thinking I’ve gone totally bonkers right?

At five to nine Monday on BBC Radio 4 a full frontal assault on user-generated content was made by the new self-styled (user-generated?) ‘anti-christ of silicon valley’.
Andrew Keen has written a book entitled ‘Cult of the Amateur‘, he discussed his belief that “the Internet is killing our culture and assaulting our economy”.
I have ordered a copy so reserve judgement on the book however Andrew said some pretty interesting things that went against the grain for me.
I put this mix together especially for my friends at olo radio. Check it out and let me know what you think.
