Back in April I blogged about how I wasn't sure what I was going to do with this humble little blog (see here), and not much has changed since.  Here I muse out loud about the future of Freedom to Differ:

Listen!

I would, however, be interested in your thoughts and suggestions.  Leave a comment below and/or tweet me @PeterBlackQUT.

(Sorry for yet another self indulgent blog post.  I'm sure you are getting sick of them by now.)

Like most nerds, the highlight of this week was the beta release of Google Wave.  After having spent a little time playing around with it yesterday and today, I thought I'd post a short Audioboo with my initial impressions:

Listen!

If you still don't know what Google Wave is, check out this useful introductory video:

And if you want to message me on Google Wave, my address is pete.black@googlewave.com. 

(Unfortunately I do not have any more invites to give away, so there is no point in asking.  Sorry.)

There are many surprising statistics in The Economist’s Fall 2009 “Did You Know?” video on the changing media landscape, including convergence and technology. For example, 95% of all downloaded songs last year weren’t paid for and that apparently 40 million people have been rick-rolled:

Here is an open letter to Lily Allen in song format, regarding her recent campaign against filesharing and her decision to quit music.  (If this makes no sense to you, you can read the background here.)
