The Era of Walled Gardens is Over; Yahoo Prepares to Open Up
You are not the center of the universe, especially on the internet. That's the lesson that even the biggest web brands are learning fast, and we expect to see widespread cultural changes occur right along side their learning.
One week after we wrote about the leaked screenshots that have since been confirmed as the forthcoming home page design of AOL.com, where 3rd party content and functionality is now welcome to come on in through the front door, now Yahoo! is telling the press that its home page will soon be home to far more content from outside the Yahoo! network than ever before. The era of the walled garden is over.
Comment of the Day: More Sites for Finding Wonderful Things
We have 2 comment of the day prizes to give out today, and they both come from our post Ten Sites for Finding Wonderful Things. Written by Marshall Kirkpatrick, it was a list of 10 "online bricolage" websites - i.e. the art of assembling diverse found objects. Sites like Kottke.org (which recently celebrated 10 years online) and BoingBoing are probably the most commonly known such sites. We received lots more suggestions in the comments, including from our 2 winners: Kris Hoet, who nominated Veerle's blog on webdesign, and Incognita Nom de Plume, who mentioned Proceedings of the Athanasius Kircher Society and Pink Tentacle.
