Twinity without maps could make travel faster, CQI to Work Foundation in ten minutes
As mentioned previously Twinity seems unable to offer anything based on maps, just at the moment or rather since about Jan 10th.

Today I bought a Guardian print version. Just as bad as could be. There is much less of it. This after a 20% price rise.
And a lot of it is a promo for the web. Join the important discussion around lost in showbiz?
And then the mention of Tumblr, not just for comment but also for music.
I really don’t understand why they junked the talkboard. Was it just an unfortunate Friday lunchtime? Was there any thought about a strategy? I think it was about ten years with almost no change in the software, no mentions in the print version, and no contributions from Guardian staff.
It could have been a social network from the UK.
It could have been a basis for citizen journalism.
But it was trashed without warning, no chance even for readers to back up their own stuff.
So now it is moving to Tumblr. This will work ok but I can’t see why we need the Guardian in all this.
Tomorrow I guess the book section will still be there. Books are very important, not like sound and video to be tacked on after lost in showbiz.

most of my posts will continue on Posterous. Tumblr connects with Guardian and also Spacex Gallery in Exeter.
It’s remarkable that reports in the general media—including the numerous stories putting a gratuitous, how-the-mighty-have-fallen spin on the travails of Kodak—have had almost nothing to say about the condition or even the existence of its graphic communications product lines. In fairness, these B-to-B verticals seldom attract much attention beyond the confines the industry to which they’re exclusively marketed. But, the days of graphic communications as Kodak’s best-kept secret probably are over, and this may be the one bright bit of news to emerge from its otherwise sobering Chapter 11 announcement.
The intellectual property that Kodak intends to sell, Payne said, is entirely on the consumer products side and represents only about 10% of the company’s business. In contrast to this, said Payne, “we will continue to focus on building our patent portfolio in the GCG.”
“We were called in to the meetings,” one staff member told sportsjournalists.co.uk, “and we were given a very up-beat message about how successful the website is.
“But you couldn’t help to feel very deflated when you came away from the briefing.”
