Ajax and Weblogs

An interesting howto on kottke.org:

most weblogs’ archive pages are pretty useless, mine included. They should help people discover and find the non-current posts on a site and a list of links to each month’s worth of posts isn’t that helpful. The categories are more helpful, but it’s still a lot of clicking around. The jury is still out on tag clouds. Two current archive page favorites are Binary Bonsai’s (Live Archives section, lists of latest entries, most commented on, personal favorites) and Subtraction’s (category descriptions, # of posts in each archive, list of post titles for each of the last few months). Like I said above, my goal is to get rid of the archive page altogether.

Jotspot Inagural Hackathon

a day-long event where our engineers each crank on something:

* valuable to the company
* but not what they’re “supposed” to be working on and
* that can be taken from idea to working prototype in one day

Check out the results!

Update:

Foundcity:

an urban bookmarking tool. It allows everyone in a city to mark the interesting things they discover throughout the day to a dynamic, online map. They can then keep track of places and things they like, sort them into categories, map them, and compare these against other people’s maps of interesting things. In doing so they not only create a reference for themselves, they share what they like about the city with others, and discover what other people find fascinating about their city.
