The Tree Frog Blog

Guidelines for Corporate Blogging

These aren't Tree Frog's guidelines. Rather, they come from 925m, an online advertising blog with an impressive command of PhotoShop. I covet their retro monster-movie fonts. Check out their Attack of the Blog Tips for hints on how to be a better, more effective business blogger.

Blog Your Way to Better Health

One more argument in favor of blogging. Admittedly, not one the Frog ever expected to see in her lifetime. What about the carpal tunnel?

New Collaborative Browser, "Flock," in the Works

Here's an article from a UK paper describing the recently unveiled web browser, Flock.

I haven't used Flock, but in my experiences as an end user of web products and surfing software, nothing will truly revolutionize my experience as much as drag-and-drop. If programmers can make it so I can name a file whatever I want with one click, then drag and drop said file or feed or URL, intuitively, into any bin or list I want, then I will pledge myself loyally to your software.

My frustration with RSS readers and shared bookmarking services like Pluck and Bloglines stems from a lack of intuitive design. I, personally, won't use a service if it takes me more than 3 steps to enroll and get started. I wonder if others feel the same. I also won't use RSS readers because they don't deliver the content to a spot where I'll be bound to see it without having to seek it out. Perhaps this is a problem Flock seeks to solve. Time will tell.

One error in the article: it's no longer true that most bloggers cannot post photos easily to their weblogs.  Creating a Flickr account and linking to it within posts is no longer necessary. I can't speak for the hardcore hard-coders using Movable Type and Wordpress, but Typepad and Blogger can now both host photos on their servers and link to them within posts with a single click.

Darknet

Here's a partial review of J.D. Lasica's "Darknet," on my personal blog. This is a great non-fiction book about Hollywood's fear of the personal media revolution. Enjoy...
