Micro postings 02/11/08

Here are some micro postings and bookmarks,  c. November-December:

Merriam-Webster’s 2008 Word of the Year – from Boing Boing.
Too be honest it will be a few years before the American Dialect Society’s 2005 Word of the Year (“truthiness”) is beaten imho.

The Book Design Review blog’s top book covers for 2008 – from Boing Boing.
The Trouble with Physics wins for me.

The leading application and service providers laying the foundation for the Top 500 retailers’ e-commerce operations – from Internet Retailer.com

Everything is an Emotional Buy – from CSM
(Poor spelling aside, this piece makes some good points)

B2B Branding – from Neutron

The Death of Blogging – (How Twitter, Flickr, Facebook Make Blogs Look So 2004), from Wired.
Luckily no mention of Pownce in the title.  Personally I think that the rumours of the death of the blogosphere are perhaps greatly exaggerated.

1000 Paintings on youtube

Regular readers will remember I have posted about the One Thousand Paintings project before; here and here in fact.  I even bought my own 956.

There is now a Google Tech Talk video about the project, which really demystifies the whole thing, and adds a tonne more too.
