If you haven’t heard about Jelli yet, you should go check it out. I’ll wait.
Seriously, this is a very cool web app that I’ve been waiting for since I discovered sites like Digg and Reddit. Digg and Reddit are social bookmark sites that have essentially turned into democratized news. What the crowd thinks is important is what percolates up to the top. Same story with Jelli, only the crowd has control over a live radio station.

This rule can apply to just about anything you want in life. I’m going to, of course, work within the construct of a web site or blog because that’s where my brain functions these days.
If you want something, you should have a good idea of what it is you’re looking for. You should also be able to communicate it effectively with someone that can help you reach your goal. If you want a new TV, you don’t just walk into the store and say “Give me a new television set please.” You should hopefully have a few specifications. Size, type, maybe even brand or extra features that you’re wanting to have. The same holds true for cars, houses, and web sites.
