I enjoyed reading what Robert has learned over the last 1+ years while at podtech and the impact of new tools on new media. Both his “participants” and “constraints” comments really point to the freedom required to be successful.

Scott Karp writes about leaving twitter for which I have some sympathy as I’ve hardly tweeted for 2 weeks; head down getting work done. Still I’ve missed it and I’ve pulled it in from time to time. I find community in it.

Anne Zelenka writes an interesting post on Jaxtr and whether 5 million users have any value. I’d simply like to know and hear stories from users that say “jaxtr creates value for me x times a day like this…” I find it hard to see the magic here too.
