Given sufficient time (but let’s be realistic – it ain’t ever going to happen) I’d like to have commented on the following topics:
- Why Orkut Doesn’t Work
Following interesting pieces on the Corante weblog and in Wired I would have liked to comment on the trend for social networking services, and why ultimately most will fail because they’re networking the wrong people.
- More about iTagg
A follow up to my earlier piece about this new service involving mobile phone shortcuts, automated text response & data gathering and premium-rate text messaging.
This learning object editor, content packager and SCORM player goes from strength to strength.
- The Internet as physician
A recent article in the British Medical Journal evaluates the efficacy of two Internet interventions for community-dwelling individuals with symptoms of depression. The results? Web sites that provided cognitive behaviour therapy were more effective than a control intervention in reducing symptoms of depression. Reason enough to keep on reading weblogs then.
- ePortfolios

Hey, what do you know, Mark Forster’s advice really does work. I feel my blogging blockage shifting.
