Microblink : News From The Microblogging World
I sat in on a presentation last week called "Microblogging, Macro Impact" by Mike Templeton which one talked about microblogging and its rise on the web and Mike also talked about his site who he runs with another guy I met in Rob Jensen called Microblink.
Since Highlight Midwest I grabbed the rss feed and have been following some of the stories they have put up on the site and if you are like me and are always looking for sites to keep up with what is new and fresh on the web today when it comes to twitter and other microblogging services this would be one to keep your eyes on.
It was great meeting the guys and Mike had a great presentation. If you get a chance drop on over to the site and check it out...maybe tweet about it as well (hehe).
The Photo Stream – News Thru Pictures
I found a kool little site called The Photo Stream this morning thanks to sarahintampa's recent post and thought I would share it with you all.
Basically what The Photo Stream does is give you current news stories (not sure what sources they are using) in the form of a photo that kinda relates to the subject. When you hover over the picture you can either visit the site with the news story or leave a comment on The Photo Stream.
Overall I think it is a kool little spin on getting some news and adding the visual effect so make sure you check it out and just as a side not they also have an rss feed which for someone like me is always a plus plus!
enjoy
