Submit Response is a weblog by Jack Mottram, a Today’s Links (02/04/08)
- BBC - Radio 4 - Arts and Drama - Rise of the Footnote
Nice little doc on the footnote. - Ask Mr. Biggs! Recycling real talk radio phone calls since 2006. » Maintenance Mode
- Tributes as artist Angus Fairhurst is found dead, aged 41 | Art & Architecture | guardian.co.uk Arts
Very sad. - Exclusive: Hands-on video with the 3G iPhone - Crave at CNET.co.uk
- Find Your Friends « Flickr Blog
Very slick. (Weird how many people I know have opened Flickr accounts without ever uploading photos.) - Microformats | weblog | This Fortnight in Microformats - March 17th–30th
These little summaries are great. (I’m interested in microformats and have implemented the relevant ones on my sites, but most of the stuff on the discussion lists/wiki sort of whooshes over my head.) - BBC - White Season - All White in Barking
Well worth a download if you missed it on the telly. - Macworld | The browser bunch
Good comparative review of browsers on the Mac. I use Firefox (mostly for the del.icio.us add-on and Greasemonkey, which I need on a couple of sites I use heavily) and WebKit nightly builds for when I know I’ll just be tootling around the web (it’s fast). - We Tell Stories - ‘Fairy Tales’ by Kevin Brooks
Oh dear, I’m falling behind. - BBC NEWS | UK | Scotland | Tayside and Central | Children find human head on beach
At Arbroath. Jeepers. - YouTube - Full MoOn 4
I think this is from the opening night of the Full Moon, formerly the Acropolis, St. Jean d’Angely. Wishing we’d gone for my birthday now! - swg3.tv | Studio Warehouse Glasgow
The warehouse is turning into a bar for the duration of Glasgow International. Handy!

That Flickr find your friends thing is cool, but I do wonder about privacy issues – it is, ultimately, tying together, for a third party, and without their consent to boot, two pieces of peoples’ online identities which they may prefer to keep separate: if I’m in your gmail address book as lenny@foo.com and use the same account to sign up for flickr, where my username is lennyqracist but my login relies on the former address, I don’t necessarily want you to be able to find the pictures of historically accurate lynching recreations that I’ve put up for my good friends at the KKK.
Unless I’m missing some colossally obvious caveat or technical point, which is, of course, entirely possible.

Yeah, that is a problem - I think Flickr’s response is that the friend finder thing respects the privacy settings for people’s profiles (you can already elect to be excluded from searches), but it should probably be opt-in rather than opt-out.
