Why Diaspora will fail
may 2010 by mottram
Yup. Even if the Diaspora people do what they say they're going to do, there's going to be a lot of pissed off donors. I hope it doesn't end up tainting Kickstarter. (Unless Wordpress.com, Blogger, Tumblr, Twitter, etc. use their infrastructure to offer Diaspora 'seeds' for their users, of course...)

Radio Pop - social radio listening from BBC Radio Labs
september 2008 by mottram
"Radio Pop enhances your BBC radio listening - enabling you to create a personal record of the programmes you hear, and see what your friends and everyone else is listening to." Will get really cool when they incorporate Listen Again. In other news, I *really* want an Olinda radio.
