Vote for Philly Future’s Next Featured Blog:

Here are the results from our first foray into open nominations for Featured Blog – now it’s up to you to vote (if you’re ready now, click here to access the poll). The three finalists are:

If you are unfamiliar with any of these three blogs, please feel free to click on the links above to sample them. Then once you’re familiar, you can click here to visit the poll and vote. Remember, the polling will be closed by Sunday afternoon, so make sure to vote before then.

This was fun – due to the open nominations and Howard’s suggestion to exclude those who have been already been featured – by doing that we’re been given the opportunity to see some folks who are not the usual suspects get nominated. Go check them out and vote.

Going to be quiet the next few days

Have a lot of work to do – the Philly Future hosting situation needs to be resolved right away – work has been intense – big things happening personally – and the local journalism work group I’m helping to organize is coming along.

Some thoughts:

Since November 1st, I’ve read or sent 1551 emails related to Philly Future. And folks wonder why I don’t post more 🙂

Garret, Bill, and Dave have posted their “Four Things”.

Bill’s RawSugar will be paying maintainers of its top twenty user bookmark pages between $25 and $500 per month.

And last, but not least, well wishes to Zoe.
