Open Social Networks
We’re seeing a lot of networks make their data publicly available through APIs: Twitter, Flickr, Brightkite and the lot all allow people to use and manipulate data as well as in some cases insert data, effectively allowing people to use their service without even having to visit their site. Data that would otherwise have been isolated and network-centric has now become freely available to all. After all, data doesn’t like to be lonely either.

Yashica Viewfinder on my LX3
In my previous weekend in review, I told of my adventures in camera buying.
That evening I went to dig up a Yashica lens kit that I tried to sell off unsuccessfully some years back to see if the lenses would fit. As it turned out, the lenses didn’t fit. But I did discover that the lens kit came with a viewfinder. I then decided to see if the viewfinder would fit.
I actually almost decided to get a G10 instead of the LX3 because of the lack of a proper viewfinder, so to find out that I could have a viewfinder on my LX3 for free instead of the $200+ it would cost me on eBay was a big bonus.
