Freebase, a structured wiki-like database, should be of interest to anyone with an interest in web architecture and the quest for a semantic digital order. It uses a system of user-extensible types that allow contributors to build logical relations between topics rather than just linking and tagging them. Sounds simple? Freebase’s structure seems to introduce some pretty powerful descriptive possibilities. Freebase has just reached ‘alpha’ (open to public view, but not freely editable). I think it’s one to watch.

My apologies to Jenelle. This one slipped through our net. Enjoy some fresh new blogs. Kathryn
>>>>>>>>>>>>
Woohoo lets get all bloggy for Blog Day!
Five from Jenelle are -
TVnewser - Part of Media Bistro, this blog is for anyone who is as hooked on the goings on in TV news media as I am. As they say… ‘it is news about the news’.
Stuck in the 80s - The blog of one of one of my favourite weekly podcasts. Very addictive!
Skullset - A favourite photoblog of mine, lots of people watching and scenes from urban LA.
Tasty blog snack - Blog by Justine Ezarik (aka iJustine) - lots of videos to keep you coming back for more. You should at least visit so you can see her hugely popular AT&T iPhone bill.
The Purse Blog - Forget shoes, I am a bag girl. This blog satisfies all my bag-lady needs.
