‘Crisis Correspondent – Reporting from Uganda’ competition for third level students.

Whip out your mobiles… ZozzyTV will be streetcasting your videos onto massive screens on Grafton St, Henry St and Temple Bar.

Interesting stats on the lack of clicking on ads and how clicks are going down over time.

Refresh Dublin is looking like a nice mix of webby stuff.

Android training courses in Ireland now. Imagine if Three/Meteor actually sponsored them

Princess Bride the game.

Us Now. Free to download docu that looks at user participation and the potential for change from this.

Us Now follows the fate of Ebbsfleet United, a football club owned and run by its fans; Zopa, a bank in which everyone is the manager; and Couch Surfing, a vast online network whose members share their homes with strangers.

Colour Shift. There’s an app for this: pretty colours moving across the screen looking like changing wallpaper.

Daft.ie are getting into the Augmented Reality game with their listings. Saw their demo on an Android Phone. Very very very cool.

Oct 2010: This list will no longer be shared with any PR or Marketing companies due to abuse of the list.

Every week there appears to be events where bloggers are invited to come along, be they briefings, parties, product launches etc. All fair enough but it now appears to be the same old faces again and again at these. At this stage I’d rather see others and not me invited to events or sent beer, chocolates and magic beans by post. So I’m putting a list together that I’ll share with PR/Marketing people so that a wider and more diverse group of people might get invited along to events. If you want to get invites or get sent products to review or try out then fill out this form. For this list to be shared with companies they’ll agree to not add you to mailing lists of any sort.

Caption competition for this Web Awards pic. This is hilarious.

Diamond in your mind and now on a blog.

No, I did not link to this list cos I’m on it. Marketing blogs in Ireland.

Fantastic idea. A blog dedicated to stupid YouTube Comments.

Get a load of Donal’s legs and win some.

Are the Web Awards over yet? Ah yes. Some thanks.

Nice list of expenses of John Gormley. By nice I mean nice for some.

Conor gives his thoughts on a CIO for Ireland. The person will have to be corrupt from day 1 to get such a job. When a Govt makes it policy to not mention broadband in speeches you can bet the CIO will have to be superpositive about the piece of string people have to use in order to check email. Having a good CIO in a poisonous Government and connected to the sinister Civil Servants who are complicit in all of this will mean nothing good happens.

New blog from Hugh Linehan of the Irish Times.

Touchscreen rubik’s cube.

Johnny points out a social network in Ireland for keeping fit.

Lovely review of Donal’s cookbook.

Will McInnes is back in Ireland soon for the Content is King conference. I’ll be in Qatar though 🙁

Innovation in the sports industry.

New RTE TV show?
