Morning Links
Don't have time for any reflective blogging this morning, but I've been frustrated by all the stories going by that I don't have time to comment on, and wonder if it's worthwhile just to put up a link post every morning, as well as any commentary. Let me know if you think that this kind of link-list post is worthwhile to you. (We've also been kicking around adding some kind of widget to radar that would let us collectively share our del.icio.us links, or something like that. Feel free to share any thoughts on the best mechanism for us to share our backchannel linking with you.)
At any rate, here are this morning's notable links:
- EMC wants to build distributed cloud computing (via Peter Brantley)
- Microsoft 'Frees' Office Formats (via Dave Farber)
- Viruses in Virtual Worlds (via Dave Farber)
- National Academy of Engineering On the Singularity (via Slashdot)
- Personal Democracy Forum June 23-24 (via Micah Sifry)
- Matt Webb's latest mindblowing presentation (via Nat)
- Google as Energy Intensive Industry (Harper's shows plans of latest data center on the Columbia River).

That Harper's link is interesting, but contains some slightly crazy comments, like that Google is bad because even if it uses green energy/carbon credits it can't make Microsoft and Yahoo! do the same. /rubs eyes Whaaaaaaaa?

Straight from the source.
Miguel.
We have such a system on a group-blog of 15, though I can't say adoption is great. It's based on delicious + a tag that aggregates them all.
As far as your links go, I really like it when people add 1-2 sentences to why the link is so valuable. Or else it's just
a bunch of links. Hope you're not offended, I just think it's both valuable to readers, and also has some reflective value to the blogger posting them.
Vincent.
Tim, I really like these link-collection posts on some of the other blogs I read. Mark down a "yes" vote from me.
I have to say I'm with Vincent on context front.
I have quite a few sources of links, but I don't have time to go through them all. A small bit of additional context can go a long way.
i come here to read your commentary not to follow links. prefer it that way thanks!
Thanks for the interesting links. The article "Artificial Intelligence at Human Level by 2029?" is very interesting. Unfortunately, I am also too busy to comment all articles. The web 2.0 seems to be tooo big for my little time :)
Hi Tim,
We are working on a link list tool at http://www.webmynd.com.
We can also make you your own public reel of websites akin to our OpenMynd reel
http://www.webmynd.com/welcome_reeler, but embedded in your blog so your, readers can see what you think is interesting. Please contact me if your interested in such tools.
Thanks,
Patrick

We've also been kicking around adding some kind of widget to radar that would let us collectively share our del.icio.us links, or something like that.
I'd love to see a Radar shared-links feed akin to Google Reader.
