Friday Link Mashup
No particular themeby j. brotherlove
A very busy week leads to a list of links without any particular theme; except that they are interesting enough to share. Oh, and related to my post Assessing The Dating Game, I had a lunch date this week. Blog it and it will come! More on that later, perhaps. Today, we have links.
Copyblogger reminds us Why the A-List Doesn’t Matter because “social media provides innumerable other paths to gaining an audience.”:
That’s why the A-List doesn’t matter, and why social media is so cool. You can succeed without those famous bloggers as long as you work at it. And it’s easier online then it’s ever been in the real world.
Although I have a huge crush on Ice Cube, there’s only one scene I like in Are We There Yet? (bonus points if you can guess which scene). So I’m a bit confused how the sequel Are We Done Yet? got a greenlight.
Atlanta City Council President Lisa Borders (who rocks, btw) and local sports fans are all abuzz about the possibility of an Atlanta WNBA team.
After several months of consideration and planning, an organizing committee has been formed to bring a WNBA team to Atlanta. By adding a WNBA franchise, Atlanta’s professional sports community will become more diversified and complete, solidifying our city’s status as the nation’s sports capital.
Still confused about the OpenID movement? I know I am. Simon Willison talks to journalist Bobbie Johnson for Vitamin (video and transcript):
The thing that makes OpenID special compared to, say, Passport or Typekey or other things that have gone before, is that with OpenID you get to decide where your identity is hosted.
Scottie Lowe tackles why Black women embrace the term “womanist” over “feminist” in The womanist theory:
Entire bodies of study have been created at universities all over the nation in order to appease the insecurities of Black women who are terrified of being called a feminist for fear that someone is going to assume they have hairy legs and wear flannel. God forbid a Black woman stands up and says, I am a woman and I am a feminist.
