If you’re livin’ la vida social media, then you probably want to take a look at this post from SocialMedia.biz that details 10 ways to create a social media dashboard.

If you haven’t heard of RockMelt: It’s another new browser (add it to the roster alongside your IE and your Firefox and your Chrome) and it’s been getting lots of press lately, for example eWeek and the New York Times.

RockMelt’s angle is that it’s a social browser — so, of course, you need to connect with RockMelt over on Facebook to get an invite to download the beta version; click the link on their site and you’re all set. Well, sorta. The invite will be on its way. Soon. At least that’s what they told me. We’ll see.

Move over, Leo Bloom — I’m a producer, too. An executive producer, in fact, of No Agenda show #250.

No Agenda is a podcast hosted by technology columnist and broadcaster John C. Dvorak and “Podfather” Adam Curry. It’s a freewheeling deconstruction of news that runs about two hours each Thursday and Sunday.

(Warning: No Agenda is an acquired taste. If you’re not a news junkie, stay away. If you are a news junkie, give the show a decent chance — three or four episodes at least — before you say yay or nay.)

What’s arguably most interesting about No Agenda, though, is not the content but the business model: It’s supported entirely by listeners, and it’s completely open-source. That means that anyone can take the podcast and rebroadcast it or create an initiative to promote it (many have, as you can see over here).

In a day and age when people are digging in their heels and focusing mainly on media that simply reinforces their own narrow belief systems, a show like No Agenda — which at the end of 2009 claimed nearly a half-million listeners — serves to broaden the discussion.

You may not agree with Adam’s conspiracy theorizing. You may find John’s crankiness too much to bear. You may find their tangential discussions unbearable at times. But odds are pretty solid that you’ll find the show both entertaining and thought-provoking …

… which are a qualities that travel together all too seldom in any form of media.

Every year we spring forward and fall back, but have you ever wondered why? Of course you have. National Geographic provides the answers.

A couple of days ago I received the screen you see here after clicking the “submit” button while trying to post a comment to a story on the CBS New York Web site.

C’mon, people — standards! Testing basic functionality is is Web site development 101 … and a blatant lack of basic functionality like this is terrible coming from someone like CBS.
