Looking for Kid Book Reviews?

Bruce Johnson · Principal Consultant, ObjectSharp · Software Development

I don’t normally verge away from the technical when it comes to this blog, but I promised my son this post. A little over two weeks ago, he started a blog. Specifically, he starting writing book reviews for the many books that he reads. So if you have a boy in the range of 6–10 years old , check out http://camsreviews.blogspot.com . The one thing I will say is that, if you’re trying to get your child starting to read, these are the books to go for. The content, at least in some situation, may not seem perfect (some of the books are scary and the Captain Underpants series has what most would consider to be bathroom humor). But the content is also the reason why they keep reading. Something about gross humor seems to work like that. And ultimately, that’s really what’s important.

The Proliferation of Video Contests

Haydn Shaughnessy · Founder, TheContentStudio.com · Knowledge Management / what's new

There’s something tacky about competing to get a video made or shown. Film festivals, which are all about competition, are part of the old fashioned business of exposing new talent. Not healthy to my mind. But still competition seems to be the chosen way for TV companies on the web.Itsyourtvshow is a case in point....
