I don’t know about you but over the last few years I have watched video explode online. It’s a good thing in a way. It has served its purpose, even if it has killed the IRC star. I have nothing against video per say. However sometimes it just isn’t the best medium to present information in.

When you are referred to an article, generally you want to scan over it, determine if it is worth reading, and if it is, then generally you will read the entire article or post. If you are like me then you will even at this stage scan the article and process it very quickly – after all we all have busy lives that we don’t want to clutter them with information that may not be worthwhile.

Silly season is here: Internet Explorer 8 passes the Acid2 test, Andy Clarke wants the W3C CSS working group to rethink, Forbes releases the 25 top Web Celebrities for 2008. Yeap you can tell things are a little crazy, must be something in the air in relation to the season this time of year. Okay some of these items have a very serious side (IE8 and the CSS working group). But it is a little amazing how all these important issues and others tend to launch themselves at us just as we are preparing for a much earned break with family and friends.
