A Fuller View

This was another interesting week for the Internet and the blogosphere in general. However, I would like to to start with two important stories that are a bit off to a tangent for this site - firstly, the story in Burma has gone from bad to worse and I am not sure anyone knows what’s next for the people of Burma. I only hope that freedom wins one of these days and that the junta is toppled. Secondly, congratulations to Al Gore for being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize (lots of press on this of course, I like this piece on the NY Times) - a well deserved victory for Mr Gore - respect!

Here’s my wrap up for last week of top stories and interesting posts from the space:

• Reach Local - raises a big (for the SEM space) founding round - see TechCrunch for details
• Social advertising post from Read/Write Web
• Facebook applications market report from O’Rielly
• Google acquires Jaiku- micro-blogging service

For this weeks piece of humour (Or as I used to say when I lived in the USA, humor), check out this comic I found on my friend’s Praized Blog:

That’s all for now. See you next week.
