Of course I've been tangentially wittering about this as I talk about personal aggregation (itself threatened by the likes of Friendfeed), but this is a good post about the death of the home page. To some extent it's stating the obvious, but then … More

"Together they reveal a fascinating ‘lost world’ of British design and invention – a glimpse of a time when the TV in the corner was a Murphy, not a Sony" Sounds like it's worth a visit. Helpfully free.
