Online Done Right: someecards.com
I can’t even remember where I first heard about someecards.com, but I’ve loved them ever since.

Congratulations to Amanda!
A little while ago, I posted here about how my old position as Communications Coordinator was open at CNW Group.
As a result of that post, a number of BlogCampaigning readers applied for the position and I’m delighted to say that one of them got the job!

Wikipedian Coincidences
Over the weekend, Jens wrote a post about how certain topics (like fictional characters) in Wikipedia have unreasonably high word counts when compared to what should be more culturally important issues.

The Most Accurate Book About the Future That You’ll Ever Read
I just finished reading Rainbows End by Vernor Vinge and was blown away by how he extrapolated our current world to create a science fiction future that can’t be anything but the way things will actually turn out.
While the plot about a conspiracy involving some of the world’s security forces and a type of doomsday [...]
