Splendid best in blogs - what are the trends?
Today’s best in blogs shows up some interesting trends:
- Realtime search - not one but TWO real time search engines launch
- Augmented reality overlay technology - perhaps not a trend but well worth picking up on as along with Android apps offering this functionality it describes an emergent trend
- Myspace is sliding down the SocMed scale after recent firings
- Twitter and games - Spymaster taught some lessons, perhaps @trivia will learn them
- People are wearing hats (aah Ascot)
- The world of PR and marketing are obsessed with twitter (not news, but certainly trending)
Without further ado, please enjoy out pick of the last couple of days of blog posts.
