My nascent Farm Town ranch is big on potatoes, short on farm animals and cash.
My portion of this week's All Tech Considered was a mix of bits on some interesting things happening around the Web. Here's some of what we covered:
- Facebook farming (as pictured above) with games like Farm Town and Farmville is indeed a hit. I was surprised to find that even the farming and ranching online publication Agweek has taken note.
- One Web site does a big browser comparison. Meanwhile, Opera releases Unite in its latest browser version 10, which turns the browser itself into a kind of Web server to share documents or even conduct live chats without extra software.
- 13-year-old Scott Campbell tries out the Sony Walkman upon the occasion of its 30th anniversary on July 1. Hilarity ensues!
- As we mentioned in a previous post, here's the glorious Web Site Story! And here's a little background on the video, which was written and directed by College Humor's Sam Reich.
