I have been crazy busy this past week, so I am catching up on my RSS reading and here are some interesting links that I thought I would share:

• Seth Godin points out that Prince, Madonna, and Radiohead have boarded the Cluetrain.
  

  [Godin writes:]This is the sort thing I’ve been talking about for seven years and many unknown bands have been doing for at least that long.

• Via TechCrunch: Is your website accessible by the visually impaired? A judge in California has ruled that a lawsuit against Target is eligible for “class-action” status, and may require websites to provide access to visually impaired users.
• Via TechCrunch: Facebook is going after LinkedIn, adding a new feature in the middle of the night.
• I have added a new bookmarking widget [ ] from Add This.com. Check it out, down by the Comments bar. And please use it to save any posts that you find useful.
• Rick Cockrum [who writes and podcasts at Shards of Consciousness] is guest posting at Alex Shalman.com: (I am a subscriber, and you should be too)
  

  We have forgotten the difference between that which is productive and that which is constructive. For all too many people efficiency and productivity has become an end in itself. Productivity isn’t bad. It is a way to conserve resources and maximize our talents. But when it becomes an end in itself it becomes as much a blight as aimlessly wandering through our lives.

• Talking about free WiFi over at Doc Searls Weblog:
  

  Chris Pirillo: According to my friend Mike Elgan at ComputerWorld.com, Starbucks will begin providing their customers with free Wi-Fi within the next year. Specifically, Mike sees free wi-fi at McDonalds forcing the issue, and concludes…

  Unsurprisingly, coffee drinks at Starbucks are super profitable. By making Wi-Fi free, Starbucks will be able to counter the lure of free Wi-Fi at McDonald’s and not miss out on the real money — the sale of coffee.

  Well, that’s my prediction. I’ll report back one year from now — or when Starbucks makes Wi-Fi free, whichever comes first.

• Kate has some pointers for “Hot Desking” at Blog to Discovery
• Marina takes a radical approach to purposing her home over at Sufficient Thrust:
  

  • I put eight dry-erase boards up around the living room area and hung my inboxes on the wall next to them. (It was only later that I read about David Allen’s admiration for a friend who converted his living room into his office.)
  • The kitchen counter, which opened into the living room, became the perfect spot for the printer and was the perfect height to work on my laptop.
  • Instead of a chair, I use a stability ball, or I stand. (Burns more calories!)

  I have been thinking about this myself, as I pack up the house for our own big move to Portland, Maine.

So that is what I have been reading about this morning. I will be doing some more packing this afternoon, and I’ll post more about the move later in the week. Have a great Sunday!
