I haven’t received an invite to Google+ yet, but I’m looking at other people’s reports on it. It’s so similar to Facebook, even though people are comparing it with Google WAVE.

Like Facebook, is Google+ going to be one of those things you can’t avoid just because everyone else is using it?

How to Start Adding Captions/Subtitles to Online Video. Just one article from a captioning site by Bill Creswell that is full of captioning help.

Very interesting run through some usability tests on TED.com by IntuitionHQ. TED.com makes a pretty decent score at the end of it all.

CSS3 Please is a really nice tool to generate cross-browser CSS3 rules to copy into your own stylesheets.
