Misc Friday
Good morning all!
Happy Friday and hope you all have a great weekend planned 
A few things have caught my eye so far today so, lets have a look!
Recommended iPhone 3G case
I had the iSkin Revo case for my first iPhone and their new version for the iPhone 3G goes on sale in the US today – should be available from Apple stores soon I guess. I liked it because it really did offer some good protection and the screen protector works well if you are chucking it in your bag.
Blow Up flickr
If you like browsing flickr, then check out this site – pop in your username or someone else’s and bingo! Full screen pics!
12secondsTV
Check it out here – twitter for video basically – you have 12 seconds to record a video comment, or anything! Currently in private alpha at the moment…
twittercounter
All you twitterers out there may have seen some cranky follow figures a couple of days ago – seems fine now. You can follow me on twitter here. twittercounter looks cool too!
Google Knol
Now this is interesting – Google always said they were not in the creating information / data game, just making it more searchable. Now they have released a Wikipedia competitor – Google Knol.
The key principle behind Knol is authorship. Every knol will have an author (or group of authors) who put their name behind their content. It’s their knol, their voice, their opinion. We expect that there will be multiple knols on the same subject, and we think that is good.
Readwriteweb has a great post showing some screenshots and talking about the features – for example, Knol authors can actually run adsense on their pages too. It will be interesting to see how the Knol pages rank in Google search…..
