Chuck Westbrook (Do you think he’s American?) has a great idea for getting good blogs noticed by people who want to notice them. It’s kind of like one of those pyramid selling schemes Lynne Faulds-Wood told us all to be careful of in the 80s, but it’s for blogs and it doesn’t want you to end up bankrupt.

Basically, check out Chuck’s idea over at his blog, where everyone will loyally read a neglected blog for two weeks. After the two weeks are up, another blog gets the spotlight. Nice idea, now fingers crossed they’re not all rubbish…

Flickr gets video

Flickr Video

Yes that’s right, the rumours have been proved true, Flickr now does video. At the moment it’s for Pro users only but someone at Flickr has obviously decided they can give YouTube a run for their money.

Secrets on a postcard

Cat postcard

This one has been in my links for a while, but I was just reminded of it today and then I loved the postcard above so I thought I’d post it.

PostSecret is an ongoing open project where people send in their secret thoughts on the back of a self decorated postcard. Check them all out here, and if you’re feeling brave (you’re safe – it’s anonymous), send in one of your own…

A thought for the week

I’m pretty pleased this morning as I just found out I’m featured on the Johnson Banks Thought for the Week. Micheal Johnson posted recently about their open-ended Time project, where they invite viewer submissions. I thought they might be interested in my mobile phone photoblog as a visual record of time, so casually sent it in, not expecting to really hear anything back. Well, Michael replied to say thanks, and then this morning the photoblog was plastered all over their blog. Nice!

I’d better get on the phone to my web hosts and plead for some more bandwidth…

Oh, and talking of Time, the February issue of All The Rage featured a couple of my photos on the subject.
