After searching for a while for a list of standard urls to reserve for your own use on the webapp you’re building, I decided to compile my own.. Starting with what twitter seem to reserve (they don’t publish a list, understandably), and adding a few of my own. If you can think of others, put them in the comments and I’ll update as appropriate.

Other things to consider are.. Reserve anything with the name of your app included (e.g. twitter don’t allow users to create urls that include “twitter”). Reserve as many urls for authentication methods as possible, I only included a couple here, oauth and openid.

Here’s a published google doc, and a csv file, text, and xls.

The Brighton Tuttle Club is changing.

As of tomorrow I’ll be focusing the weekly coworking meet on local startups, making a time for them to get together and work in the same space, meet each other, maybe collaborate, or help each other out.

So if you’re a startup, or you’ve got something you want to try and build, come along and say hi.

We meet upstairs at Cafe Delice (map) at 10am every Friday and tend to go on most of the day (but starting early is best!). We’re a small but very welcoming group, with varying levels of experience, and are all at different stages in the lives of our projects.

Signup on Upcoming.org.

There’s also a mailing list for chat between meets, once you’ve been along you’ll get an invite to join that too :)

1. Get Spotify
2. Create a playlist to share
3. Make sure your title includes the #mondayMix hashtag and your Twitter @username
4. Right-click on the playlist and select “Copy HTTP Link” (this is the bit you’re going to share)
5. Share it on Twitter, say something like “check out my #mondayMix, hope it gets you all going! http://is.gd/1Kefj”
6. The best bit – find other people’s #mondayMix’s by searching on Twitter

Here’s my playlist, it’s optimistically summer themed!

I had this thought well over a year ago, when realising that when Google started buying backhall bandwidth, it had some major plans to shake up the how the provision of connectivity should work.

Ewan from Mobile Industry Review found me in a corner with a beer at Swedish Beers and got me to talk for about 15 minutes.. most of which was rather sensitive, but this bit got published..

Google isn’t that interested in providing every service itself, as long as it gets to sit between the remaining ones. They will happily let other people do the really hard parts, usually involving hardware. Android is a good example of this, Voice is another, Chrome OS is the next. Everyone else gets to compete, while Google sits in the middle.

It doesn’t even want to build it’s own social network. Why? because there’s the internet. So again it builds tools in-between the parts everyone else has made, tools such as OpenSocial.

Whether or not this turns out to be a good thing?.. Well the future isn’t that far away..
