Matt launched his weblog about business and blogging.

Finally...this Firefox theme will add favicons to the bookmarks toolbar.

The Merlin Show is off to a fantastic start. Merlin talks with the guy who wrote "code monkey" about his history as a coder and his creative process.

New IBM project for social data visualization and analysis. Could analyzing data with others be more popular than sharing photos and videos? ;) [via O'Reilly Radar]

great images from Wikipedia articles. It's unusual to me to see wikipedia content in a slightly different context. Similarly, there's Wikiworld Comics and the Picture of the day (a pod feed is only available offsite because Wikipedia doesn't provide one.)

A simple keyboard remapper for Windows that uses the registry. I think this'll be handy for some issues running XP with parallels. [via Nelson]

nice description of OpenID for mortals. [via joshua]

I've been doing this for the past few days and it's already come in handy with only five entries. I'm going to try to make it a habit for the new year.

Cleans up your Mac desktop (or any folder) based on rules you write. Handy! [via 43 Folders]

Not that I would have a need for this or anything. But if I did, these would be great instructions.

Marc Hedlund just started a blog for his personal finance startup

Flickr expanded their API to include geotagging. setLocation includes an "accuracy" argument (16 levels) that lets you specify the accuracy of the tag at the (roughly) country, region, city, or street level--but how do you know if you're accurate?

fantastic idea: fuzzy geocoding

Flickr now has built-in geotagging/mapping. Now if cameras would just build a GPS in...

Upcoming and Flickr integration, Upcoming and Yahoo! Local integration. New design. The "Undiscovered Events" feature is particularly nice. fun stuff!

Great analysis of Google Apps, and why it's not an Office competitor

sounds like this was an interesting talk at Foo Camp.

Now you can hire MeFites. They're good folk.
