Muxtapes are all the rage on twitter right now, so I thought I’d make one, too. Muxtape brings the old art of making a mixtape onto the web in an interface that is so simple it might seem confusing at first. You can get yours at muxtape.com.
Twitter in Plain English
by Benjamin T. Greenberg on 05. Mar, 2008 in tech
You’ve seen me mention twitter on this blog, or you’ve noticed twitter updates in my sidebar. Still wondering what it is? Lee LeFever can explain. This is actually only part of what’s cool about flickr. @lenedgerly points out that the video “misses power of links- Twitter as news & idea source.” You might have to [...]

by Benjamin T. Greenberg on 31. Jan, 2008 in children, human rights, tech, Weblogs
This is from Beth Kanter: Here’s the deal. We need to be in the top four charities that get the most unique donors in order to win the $50,000 for the Sharing Foundation. Right now we’re number 5, only trailing by 28 donors. Essentially, I am asking YOU for $10 (USD) to help children in [...]
Check Out Beth’s Blog
by Benjamin T. Greenberg on 24. Jan, 2008 in boston, tech, Weblogs
Yesterday, I mentioned on Twitter that I gave a presentation at work about using an internal blog for sharing news and announcements. Before I knew it, non-profit tech consultant Beth Kanter was interviewing me via IM about the presentation and the launch of the internal blog. I gave Beth my slides from my presentation and [...]
Privacy Matters
by Benjamin T. Greenberg on 20. Jan, 2008 in breaking news, civil liberties, civil rights, disarmament, human rights, immigrants, politics, race and racism, tech
[This post is the the third in a series (1, 2).] Like Marshall Kirkpatrick, I want it all. I want my data to be free, I want to be in control of it and I want to have control over my privacy as well. Is that too much to ask? The watchdog group Privacy International [...]
Out with the New and in with the Old
by Benjamin T. Greenberg on 16. Jan, 2008 in situations and predicaments, tech, Weblogs
My new tumblelog has arrived at http://minorjive.net (feed). A while ago I decided to set up another WordPress blog as a tumblelog, to keep clippings of web content that I come across on the web. I didn’t like the limited functionality of the popular hosted Tumblr service, so I thought it would be better to [...]
Video Blogging
by Benjamin T. Greenberg on 25. Dec, 2007 in tech
I didn’t know much about video blogging except for zefrank’s The Show, so I found this overview of the history by Steve Garfield quite interesting. It’s also interesting, if you’ve been wondering what seesmic is all about (it seems to be all the rage on twitter). Some may have noticed that I’ve been bitten by [...]
Hungry Blues Gets a Tumblelog
by Benjamin T. Greenberg on 01. Aug, 2007 in situations and predicaments, tech, Weblogs
http://hungryblues.net/tumblin (feed) What’s a tumblelog? People often cite kottke’s early definition (early as in 2005), in which he says: A tumblelog is a quick and dirty stream of consciousness … with minimal commentary, little cross-blog chatter, the barest whiff of a finished published work, almost pure editing … really just a way to quickly publish [...]
Ben Greenberg's Weblog
Folks I've got them hungry blues
And nothin' in this to lose
People tellin' me to choose
Between dyin' and lyin' and
keep on cryin'
Tired of them hungry blues
Listen ain't you heard the news
There's another thing to choose
A brand new world
clean and fine
Where nobody's hungry
And there's no color line
A thing like that's worth
anybody dyin'
I ain't got a thing to lose
But them doggone hungry blues
