Sjuk fakta om Ronaldinho
Läste DNs genomgång om unga spelare som upptäckts i tidig ålder av scouter. Ronaldinho upptäcktes tydligen när hans Gremio (tror jag det var) spelade en match för 13-åringar, matchen slutade 23-0 till Gremio. Ronaldinho gjorde givetvis ALLA 23 målen.
Look out Wikipedia
This week Google started inviting a selected group of people to try their new, free tool which goes by the name of Knol. Knol, according to the Google Blog stands for “a unit of knowledge” and the company further writes that the goal is to encourage people who know a particular subject to write an authoritative article about it.
Knol is different from Wikipedia in a number of ways, besides incorporating a major rating system, which in opposite to Wikipedia does not keep users anonymous, it also holds a way for contributers to earn cash through publishing articles. I’m not completely convinced that this is the right field of business for Google, but we’ll just have to wait and see!
Releaselog
I don’t know if any of you has made this your favourite site yet, but I do know that I recently have. When I started visiting the Releaselog (rlslog.net) it wasn’t big at all, not that many releases were being posted and I can’t remember if the RSS was working or not. Now it’s not only a strong competitor but definately one of the best “investigating” blogs you can find. If you’re considering downloading something, be sure to check out the quality and reports first has always been a rule. But it’s not until now that this rule can easily be checked without visiting half of the Internet.
Pick of the year for sure.
