Into the dark

I'm going through one of those phases where I feel like I need to pull everything out of boxes and organise stuff. That goes for the virtual boxes online too, of course. I've got three main domains t…

Oldskool Social Video

I was reminded recently of what fun we had on the social video platform Seesmic, especially right at the beginning, October/November 2007. Later on it pivoted to be a twitter client, and went the way…
