And a happy Monday to us all! Start your week on the right foot with the latest:
1. John Edwards campaign launches Second Life HQ: The John Edwards camp has set up their own virtual campaign headquarters, in what appears to be a first-of-its-kind Second Life presence. Former Gov. Mark Warner (D-VA) did a Second Life appearance back in August, but the Edwards is the first to set up a more established base. Is it meant to position the campaign as the savviest, or does the campaign have a strategy to make something more out of the Sims-meets-chatroom phenomenon? More here.
2. Stikkit: A (relatively) new website/application that works much like the Google Calendar free type feature, except it’s for contacts, to dos, calendars, and so forth. Just type naturally (with the help of some magic words, and it’ll make sense of all of your streams of consciousness and organize them. After a brief look (more on this later), there’s a ton of potential, but plenty of bugs.
3. ConvinceMe: Labeled as “a new way to argue. Debate online, vote online.” ConvinceMe focuses around three different types of debates: Open Debate, Battle Head-to-Head, and “King of the Hill.” The website features a very nice tag cloud-like “categories” widget that lets users know what the biggest debates are.
