New Baubles

Like a bird distracted by a bright new bauble, new Internet technology keeps me jumping all over the place!  Like my previous post on Tiddlers, there's sooooo much neat new stuff out there that I just can't keep playing with it.  Two new things have attracted me:

• Ning- Something very hard to describe, but basically a community of cool web apps, where you can "clone" apps to create your own.  Started by an early Internet pioneer, Marc Andreesen, it's hard to quantify, but as an inveterate hacker, it's too much fun to play in the "Playground"! I'm working on a TiddlyWiki adpatation using the Ning storage as a back end.
  

  And then there is a new browser called Flock, which is based on the Mozilla Firefox browser, only with tightly integrated blogging and photo interfaces.  I'm posting from Flock now, so we'll see how this works. I can't figure out how to start a new entry in this list though!  It's early in the dev stage, with a "consumer" released due in December.  From what I see, though, it looks like a winner.
