Should web giants let startups use the information they have about you?

Of course! But startups should use it at their own peril.

Twitter Fun

In celebration of a little free time Sunday afternoon, I sat down and finally whipped together my first mashup.

I decided it would be fun to mess around with Twitter, because everyone is. And I decided it would be fun to play with the Yahoo! Maps API, because everyone else seems to be using Google’s. So I set about trying to visualize Twitter posts geographically.

Turns out, that’s pretty darn easy. (Probably why it’s already been done, but that’s okay.)

What I’ve got is a first cut, but I’m pretty happy with it. So now I’m curious? What else should it the map do? Let me know in the comments.

Getting it Right

Ari Paparo on what blink.com did wrong and what del.ico.us does right (should I feel bad that I’m posting this on del.icio.us?)

I hope they stay as hands-off as they did with Flickr

Web 2.0 is economic

Proof of two things: the existance of Web 2.0 and that I needed to have paid better attention in math
