In my experience the ability to begin broadcasting, inform your friends and maintain a dialog is both incredibly social but amazingly powerful! I’ve been dabbling with Qik and Flixwagon and this area of mobile development is simply fantastic. When I covered the Web2 Summit last fall, my coverage was limited to 1 min [...]

So Jason Calacanis (Weblogs Inc) has been hard at work on a stealth project within AOL which rears it’s head today as Netscape Beta.

Congrats to Kevin Rose and team!  I really like the Diggnation pod / vid cast and enjoy using the site as well.  I’d describe it as Slashdot 2.0 (ala Web 2.0), and you’ll find a good mix of stories - though mainly tech.
Digg, a new San Francisco Internet start-up, seeks to rank news items by [...]
