Oh! I nearly forgot to mention it! I’ve been playing about a bit with Joost this week, which I’m really quite enjoying. The content is relatively limited at the moment, but I expect that to grow with time. And what is there is quite interesting – lots of music channels, which I like a lot (I’m so out of touch with the Australian music scene!), and some fun things, like old cartoons and whatnot.

My biggest irritation with it is that there are some really interesting looking channels available on the American version, which we can’t get here. It really is a shame that something like Joost, which you would like to think wouldn’t be fettered by silly things like boundaries, still has location-limited content. Ah well. What there is is good though, and I’m quite enjoying what they have.

If anyone would like an invite to check it out, feel free to drop me a comment or email me at neohypatia at gmail, and I’d be more than happy to share them with you :)

This is, apparently, a graphical representation of our blog:

There is a key, on the site, that explains what all the little dots mean (things to do with embedded links and whatnot), but I kind of don’t really mind – I just rather thought that it was interesting and pretty and I wanted to share it :)

Continuing the theme tonight, Jessamyn over at librarian.net posted a link to a new Livejournal community - lolbrarians.   

Following in the tradition of lolcats and I can has cheezburger, it’s cat macros but with librarians!  I’m looking forward to lots of silly fun!  

This is fantastic! XCKD, which is a fantastic webcomic anyway, has posted a fantastic map-representation of the interwebs and all the various communites here. I’m not sure what my most favourite bits are – the treacherous river Bittorrrent? The Ocean of Subculture with the dangerous Viral Straits? Of course, being part of the Blogipeligo, I’m somewhat biased in that direction. (And? seriously, such a better name than blogosphere – I vote we change to calling it that instead /nods)Go look! It’s wonderful :)
