Flickr Pro account users can now upload video up to 90 seconds long.
Apparently Chris Pirillo wants to do something with Drupal that will make using Drupal as a producer/publisher easier. He describes (with his usual zeal) why Drupal makes sense for people wanting to build communities. They're talking about making an installer profile and some modules. Adam Kalsey is in on it and his first module, activitystream is up. I installed it on Konigi, but ran into some installation errors. Will have to try again later.
I think this will all be good for Drupal, since it comes down to contributing to the community in order to make the experience friendlier for community-minded publishers. I'm definitely going to be paying attention. More about this project can be found at assembla.com/wiki/show/drupalcpp.

New videos from Michael Wesch, presented during the opening keynote at IDEA:
This video explores the changes in the way we find, store, create, critique, and share information. This video was created as a conversation starter, and works especially well when brainstorming with people about the near future and the skills needed in order to harness, evaluate, and create information effectively.
Another Chris Pirillo Live video, this time with Pirillo talking to Robert Scoble about the iPhone. Scoble says, "It lives up to the hype. ... It is better in every single respect than any other phone I've used.
A few people in my office have em and I've played around with the UI a while at an AT&T store. Clearly this lives up to expectations for the first release. But I'll bet dollars to donuts that the next release is going to kill even more, and that's when I'll be considering the switch.
Interesting discussion at 21:40 about SlingBox and the general issue of allowing third party applications to be allowed on the iPhone.
Chris P goes apesh*t when he realizes what the SlingBox gives him. Let's hope Apple will bring SlingPlayer to your iPhone.
