Top of the blogs for 2008

Posted on Monday, December 22nd, 2008 at 4:42pm. #

I notice that Martin Belam’s already started his top-twenty countdown of the most popular blog postings of the year. And he’s not got to the top ten yet.

I however, will only bother with the top eleven, for reasons best known to my cold. And here they are.

11 Were Pandora telling porkies about the record industry being greedy? Not, it seems.

10 How to get the iPlayer on the mac working (and, indeed, on Ubuntu as well)

9 Trusting your audience to work for you – imagine the compliance nightmares!

8 BBC iPlayer launches with proper radio and sounded lots better for on-demand

7 My little Asus Eee PC which in the end was too slow and had a crap keyboard. Haven’t eBayed it yet. Better get onto that.

6 Why Absolute Radio is a decent new name for Virgin Radio

5 Why the iPhone 3G isn’t a very good upgrade but it’s still quite good

4 Why Absolute were right to junk the Virgin Radio brand

3 iGoogle gadgets for the BBC – amazing they still haven’t produced official ones!

2 How to listen to Real Audio streams like the BBC’s through Ubuntu Linux – I really look forward to deleting this post early next year

1 The Pure Evoke Flow – see it working – nice wifi radio, which makes a massive difference to radio listening (mind you, apparently I’m entirely biased against the internet, if you read the newsgroups, so no idea why this is here)
