There are more podcasted radio shows than radio stations in the world

This is just one of the interesting tidbits of information in this SF Chronicle article on Adam Curry. Interesting thoughts on Curry's quest and opinions about taking podcasting mainstream.

We are legit!

I just came across this interesting website that lists all kinds of Web2.0 services and tools. And guess what, we are listed in the Social Networking category. Not really where I would put us, but it's a start.

Does this make us "legit?" Did we need to be made "legit?" I don't know, but it kinda makes me feel proud to see us there, next to 43 things, Friendster and LinkedIn.

It's definitely a cool site to poke around and learn more about the ever-evolving world of the social web.

One of the best analyses of the Social Web - now accessible to everybody!!

Thanks to a tip from Tim (thank you, Tim!) who went back and tried the links, we all know now the articles were finally made public. Andreas Kluth, the writer, told me that he pushed for changing the rules as well. Glad we all succeeded! Now go and read!

 

One of the best analyses of the social web- but you can't read it

Ironic- that's probably the best way to describe the situation.

There's this really, really fantastic article by Andreas Kluth of The Economist (actually, it's a series of "surveys") about all aspects of the social web, such as Wikis, blogging etc etc. And I love it because it's entertaining, educational, intelligent, thought-provoking, inspiring - all the good things that journalism should be.  And I can't share it with you because it's subscription only content.

Bloggarrhea

Rob Hof at Business Week  used this nice word to describe the explosive growth of the blogosphere, according  to the latest Technorati report.

It made me wonder: how many of the currently 35.3 million blogs are nonprofit blogs? And how do we increase this number (besides continuing to do what we already are doing)? And how to we make sure our voices get heard if the noise gets louder?

Learn from the pros

So how do you deal with procesing all the information that's out there? B.L. Ochman has not only posted her own tips, but also asked some of the pros, such as Doc Searls and Shel Horowitz, to share their strategies. But who says that we aren't pros ourselves? Share your tips with your NetSquared community!

Check out this great explanation on how nonprofits can use RSS

Phil also talks about Join Together and how they use RSS to  to support people working on substance abuse and gun violence issues. Maybe somebody is interested in writing up an even more detailed case study for us?
