Just another quick update about Hashtag.it.
I’ve now added the feed of What the Trend into Hashtag.it. Any hashtags that are found on the What the Trend site with a definition will be automatically imported into Hashtag.it.
Hopefully this will help jumpstart usage of the site by prepopulating it with some data.
Also, in the process of adding that functionality, we had a bit of a flub. We lost all the data that was loaded prior to last week. Luckily, it was only about 40 tags.
So, if you had previously added any hashtags to Hashtag.it, please add them again, and continue to add them going forward to help build up a collective database of hashtag definitions.
All for now.

If you’ve been following my blog, Twitter, Facebook or just know me in person, you’ve probably heard rumblings of a project I’ve been working on: foto:blip
foto:blip is a photo-based microblog. What the heck is that, you might ask? Well, combine Flickr and Twitter, and that’s what you get.
foto:blip is designed for those of us who use our mobile devices or cameras to capture the events of the day. The images are small and the captions are limited. Blips are designed to be quick and to share the moment with your followers and friends.
Some features include:
Connections- add users to your connections and all of their posts show up on your homepage when you log in
Facebook sharing- any public post on foto:blip can be shared to your Facebook profile, allowing all your Facebook friends to see and comment on your post
Twitter integration- save your Twitter account information and your blips can be automatically posted to Twitter
Browser-based foto:booth- this is cool for all users who have built in webcams. Use the
Flash-based foto:booth to take a quick picture without uploading any files
More.. you’ll have to check it out to see.
Well, primetime is almost here. The site is about 95 percent complete, and I’d like to open it up to a few more people to test it out and get some feedback. Please feel free to visit the pre-release version of the site at: http://staging.fotoblip.com and sign up for an account.
Any feedback, questions or problems you have, send them on over to help (at) fotoblip.com

Interesting article I found reposted by Noah Everett.
It’s an interesting and encouraging list of tidbits for those who are in the process of starting a new business. Kind of goes against anything a business professor would tell you, but that’s the way it goes, at least in the world of the Internet.
