Digg plz.

Hey, friends,

I gave the final big push on Like a Donut yesterday and added almost all the features from the original want-list, including integration with Digg. :) Since the videos have unique urls, they're set up to be dugg individually; so I've been using ninja turtles as the promotional guinea pig.

So please have a look and Digg it! ... Well, only if you like it. I hope you do.

I've asked a special guest to join us this Thursday! His name starts with 'P' and ends with 'hill.'

Web THREE POINT OH!

Web 3.0 (Wikipedia style)

The geek in me got really excited when I read about this. (Although I'm sure everyone probably already knows about it) It's exactly what I'm learning about in my Artificial Intelligence class. (AKA Its kinda cool)

Semantic Web: The future of the world wide web
How to search Web 3.0

I really like Eric Schmidt's interpretation. (And the two bald guy's heads looks like a bottom, which isn't THAT funny, but slightly distracting)

But here it is on Digg (if you're interested)

Ding, the donut is done!

Hey, friends, Like a Donut is feature-complete and ready for your scrutiny!

I'd love to hear what you think - particularly about things that don't work as expected, work better than expected, or don't work at all. :) Please take a second to leave a comment or two, either here or somewhere on the site.

I'm going to put up another dozen videos on Friday, and three per week after that. There's a few fancy-pants extras still missing (draggable playhead, draggable mini-windows, streaming the videos, a theme song that won't get me sued), but all the building blocks are finally there.

Many thanks once again to Brandon, whose idea it was to let users suggest links -- the more I thought about it, the more that became a pretty central concept of the site. :)

Shift Happens

Some neat facts about what's going on in the world.  It might get you thinking.  Hope you can get through the fiddle music.
