Selected blogosphere tidbits

Time of the season
As we shift into cooler weather and shorter days, Yodel Anecdotal recently announced that Yahoo! is launching a new calendar. The new web-based application features open standards so you can share your schedule with others, and it’s also built for the mobile platform.

News bits
In the online media landscape, the Associated Press plays an important role in the publishing and news coverage. Often the AP is the first to cover a story, then bloggers pick up on the news piece and run with the story. Publishing 2.0 examines the relationship between the AP and the 21st Century news ecosystem.

Extraordinary ideas
The folks at the Groundswell blog recently published a piece on how ordinary marketers can generate extraordinary ideas. Just because these ideas were written with marketers in mind doesn’t mean that publishers can’t use these tips, too. As the popularity of blogs, social networks and wikis grows, it’s good to learn how to best use these technologies.
