In between the rain and snow, a brief and uplifting moment of sunshine on Newport Beach (“traeth mawr” or ‘big beach’).

We’d determined to ‘walk the kids’ every day for a couple of hours, come rain or shine, and this was the first time that the “shine” part had kicked in.

Made it all worthwhile.

These my micropostings and bookmarks – November 23rd through December 2nd:

  • What Is A Klout Score? – The Klout score – an interesting (and openly-stated) measure of twitter “clout”. Props to them for their opennes – much to ponder.
  • Twitter Fan Wiki / Mashups – Useful list of twitter resources and mashups.
  • Twitter API Wiki / Twitter API Documentation – The Twitter API documentation – the what and how of accessing information from the mighty twitter
  • Jack Cheng — Jack of all trades, master of none. – Great weblog: – tone, content and design. Particularly like the time-based nav (top) and the footer.
  • Mr B – Emporium of reading delights in Bath.

    https://www.mrbsemporium.com/Gift%20Vouchers.htm in particular is a great idea – building on the store experience, with a twist of humour and individuality.

    This, surely, is why passionate, niche retailers will survive and hopefully thrive?
