Digg’s new look
December 18, 2006
I just logged on to digg, and noticed the new design. Looks good!
They have also added Podcasts, which looks quite interesting, but I don’t have time now to look into it more.
Time announces Person of the Year: You
December 17, 2006
TIME announced today that 2006’s Person of the Year was “you.”
But look at 2006 through a different lens and you’ll see another story, one that isn’t about conflict or great men. It’s a story about community and collaboration on a scale never seen before. It’s about the cosmic compendium of knowledge Wikipedia and the million-channel people’s network YouTube and the online metropolis MySpace. It’s about the many wresting power from the few and helping one another for nothing and how that will not only change the world, but also change the way the world changes.
Featured are the founders of YouTube, Chad Hurley and Steve Chen, among others.

Flickr boosts up limit for users
December 12, 2006
Flickr has just majorly upped the monthly upload limits for both pro and free account users:
[pro accounts] will get unlimited uploads — the two gigabyte monthly limit is no more (yep, pro users have no limits on how many photos they can upload)! At the same time, we’ve upped the limit for free account members as well, from 20MB per month up to 100MB (yep, five times more)!
In a comparison with rival Zooomr, Flickr has now set the limits that free accounts will recieve the same upload limit as Zooomr free accounts (100MB), but the limit for pros has reached the level of unbeatable! Founder and lead developer Kristopher Tate announced Zooomr’s move in early November.
