I heard Craig Newmark on a recent podcast the other week, and decided that I’d love to hear his perspective on the current state of the Internet. With much talk about web 2.0, and social software, I thought he’d have some interesting insight into both because of his craigslist.org service.
For those not aware, Craigs List describes itself as “Local community classifieds and forums - a place to find jobs, housing, goods & services, social activities, a girlfriend or boyfriend, advice, community information, and just about anything else — all for free, and in a relatively non-commercial environment.”
Craig’s title is Customer Service Representative, which given he’s also the Founder and Chairman, should go a long way to describe his attitude to the organisation.

I’m not sure these updates are 100% confirmed so consider them rumors for now:

On 1 September 2006 there will be a small facelift for the G Class which will continue to be built alongside the GL Class to 2010 and beyond. The G 320, G 270 CDI and G 400 CDI will no longer be built. Instead there will be a G 320 CDI (OM642) with 224 bhp. A G 420 CDI is not planned. The G 500 with 296 bhp and the G 55 AMG Kompressor with 476 bhp stay in the programme. The G 320 CDI and the G 500 will be equipped with the seven gear 7G-Tronic automatic gearbox as standard. All three models will incorporate Bi-Xenon adaptive headlights as standard, too. A few colours will be changed, tealit blue is new and emerald black is cancelled. It’s worth mentioning that the G 320 CDI will be […]

Aston Martin has some minor updates planned for the 2007 model year for both the V8 Vantage and the DB9. This is a list of changes for the V8 Vantage though many of these (but not all) will also be present on the DB9:

3-position Memory Seats (optional)
Two-stage seat heating (optional as part of heated seat option)
Twin Lumbar support adjustment (standard)
High level electric seat release (standard) (button moves seat forward for access to area behind seat)
Occupant Classification Sensing for passenger airbag (standard)
“Head Thorax” side airbag (standard)
Non-standard leather colors (allows picking/paying for infinite leather)
Antracite finish on 19″ wheels (optional) (looks very techy/cool to me - will depend on car color selected…)
Sports tyres (Pirelli P-Zero Corsa) (optional w/19″ rims) (much lower wear rating, not as good in the wet, but will be the ultimate “handling” tire)
Front Stone Guards (optional)
LEDs in door handle cuts (cool!) (standard)
Key fob […]
