I wrote earlier on today’s third Blog Day 2007, and now is time to show some blog love.This would be very hard as beside my blogroll, I have many blog feeds in my RSS reader(s) that I follow and read here and there, some of them regularly. Since the list is really big, these are my five blogs that I read:

Unit Structures - Fred Stutzman’s blog about information, social networks, identity and technology. Pity I didn’t meet him at SILS, interesting thoughts and readings.

Disambiguity – another science blog: Leisa Reichelt’s blog about communication issues, contextual research, user centred design, Information architecture, interaction design.

Libraryman-Michael Porter’s blog about libraries, community and IT in very interesting and user friendly, spirited way of presenting some issues.

Davor’s Technology Blog - Davor Prcovich blog specialized in all issues about Macs, he also writes various blogs on using new technology. Useful and interesting info, plus audio blog. The only person in Balkan area that I know that has Nabaztag.

Republika Rafska Serbie Serbia – Raphael’s blog, though it’s on my official blogroll list, this young French film maker and producer is very passionate about Serbia and Serbian people, and through photographs and stories he depicts some of the stories inside of Serbia, in very unique way.

Don’t forget to tag at Technocrati!

Some attention, a bit of (social) readings:

For those who use it, Netvibes introduced a brand new iPhone. You can now access your page from any mobile phone.

Also via, web-based chat application Meebo has rolled out an iPhone app which finally brings multi-protocol chat to the Apple device (didn’t see any iPhone in Belgrade -yet!).

Find out about the changes of Facebook Platform8 and what are good and what bad applications?

Twitter, via, is launching new stuff left and right (huh, what is left and what is right?) , adding search and Gmail import feature, as well as Twitter blocks -who is following who (or “I was lookin’ back to see if you were lookin’ back at me
to see me lookin’ back at you”).

And when we talk about social networks, is social networking only for the idle?

Idle or not, my Jaiku (never too late) username is Danica.

Email that has been circulating in the past few days that planet Mars will be within 34.65 million miles of Earth, 27th August, Monday night and will appear as a “second moon” in the night sky is not true, as we know it. That actually happened on Aug. 27, 2003 when Mars and the Earth had their closest encounter in nearly 60,000 years.

Eclipse information comes from NASA web site, saying that

In the early morning hours of August 28, sky watchers across much of the world can look on as the Moon crosses in to the shadow of the Earth, becoming completely immersed for one-hour and 30 minutes, a period of time much longer than most typical lunar eclipses. In fact, this eclipse will be the deepest and longest in 7 years. The event begins 54 minutes past midnight PDT (3:54 a.m. EDT) on August 28.

For those in the US, here’s the map of the United States showing eclipse start timemore, and information on eclipse – NASA eclipse home page.
The eclipse will be visible from Australia, parts of Asia and most of the Americas, but not from Africa or Europe.

I would rather say. And 24hrs is not enough to do all you want, have to. At least, not for me. For all readers who’ve been writing to me, either via IM or via social online networks or some other micro ways – I’ve exchanged short thoughts, information as I’ve been very busy (read www-> working wild woman), and still I am, but I’m trying to sort things out as there are lot to be done, to be learnt, and eternal question: what next?

For those who wasn’t ‘here and there’ while I was micro-blogging (via Twitter, Pownce, Stumble, etc.) here’s short list of links what have had happened/happening (following blogging will go back to normal – whatever that means) :

Tractis – digital signature and another online service that do business at internet speed (here invites), didn’t started yet as I don’t know who in my network is using Tractis.

Newsweek published recent article to read on Facebook expansion. While TechDirt blames Facebook for productivity losses due to “personal surfing” at work(don’t do it). !

Also comScore published the results of a study on expansion of social networks across thee globe, revealing the data on some major social networking sites and their growth in the past 12 months. Their press release center published also that Bebo is the most visited social networking site in UK.

William Gibson was special guest at Boing Boing interview here, on new novel.

Sky is the latest edition of Google Earth. You get a 3D view of all the constellations viewable from earth, over 100 million stars and 200 million galaxies are included. Isn’t that lovely? Download here.

Read, via, on the case of science blogger - PZ Meyers, biologist and associate professor at the University of Minnesota, Morris, who was sued for ‘unfavorable book review’.

And amusement during hot and humid summer days, here’s hilarious video “showing what a business meeting might look like if comments were enabled”.

What next? Some of the readings on internet marketing, advertising consulting and creative design …

Here is the list for recently published texts and articles, readings in the next few days for those who are curious and want to entertain their grey cells:

European Association of Social Anthropologists (EASA) Media Anthropology Network is discussing working papers about socio-cultural aspects of media technology uses within the scope of e-seminars via the Network’s mailing list. Some of these papers and discussions address internet technologies from a range of different perspectives. The website of the Network also provides annotated bibliographies, information about media anthropology events, and selected discussions from the mailing list as PDF documents.

Another is on social networking via Wired, here as well. More on Facebook via Smart Mobs. Also, very interesting post that will lead you to the International Journal of Communication’s recent special issue on Net Neutrality with entire collection of scholarly articles.

For those who are more alike multimedia, recently released documentary Zeitgeist Movie, official release full film, more about this at the official web site.

And for graphic, design interactive oriented readers, enjoy in this web page.

How do I know Jonathan? First, he wrote an entry into my Wall at the FaceBook saying that he is my blog fan reader! Voila! Meeting people from blogosphere right into the Facebook (and vice versa) and getting know  people and who are my readers. Couldn’t it be any better?

However, Jonathan was born in South Africa, is Irish and lives and works in Belgrade,  runs  Limbic Nutrition blog, and obviously is fan of Serbian culture and women (sorry Jon, but according to the Flickr, you are ; ) . He is my Facebook buddy, and indeed he loves Serbian people. In this video he talks on Irish and Serbian people, similarities, some political issues, and more.
