Scott Galloway looks back at his 2018 predictions, and makes his predictions for 2019.

Every time I watch these I'm thinking, that some business leaders out there are either saying "how does he know this", or taking notes on where to go next.

My friend Simon released his app called Peregrine this week. From the description:
"Pick a starting point and an end point – Paris to Berlin, Mumbai to Kathmandu, Vancouver to Mexico City, or anywhere else – and walk the journey with your own steps. Every day, you'll see a new photo taken at the place you've virtually reached."
iOS only, get it here: https://itunes.apple.com/dk/app/peregrine-journey/id1430790121?mt=8

I used to have an interactive map that I maintained listing the countries I had visited. It was hosted on a site called world66, which is no longer. Went looking for an alternative, and found https://leafletjs.com/ - bingo.

It looks like the Data Portability Project site got hacked. At least Google thinks so (https://i.imgur.com/ZN03g7S.png). Either way, the wiki that should hold all the info about the project, is unreachable. @chrissaad do you know what happened?

I'm really enjoying using the Memex browser extension from https://worldbrain.io. Very useful, enabling you to search your browser history, and for annotating to the pages you visit and read.

Been looking for a good #selfhosted bookmark tool for a while, and came across https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli. Excellent little tool. Imported my bookmarks from del.icio.us and raindrop.io without a hitch. One more piece of my #indieweb puzzle falls into place.

Still images has been manipulated since the inception of the media. For moving images, we have deepfakes. Combined with technology like Adobe's VoCo, and anyone will be able to say anything.

"Trust, Verification, Fact Checking & Beyond: MisinfoCon is a global movement focused on building solutions to online trust, verification, fact checking, and reader experience in the interest of addressing misinformation in all of its forms. It started as a large gathering at MIT in February 2017. That gathering brought together ambassadors from technology platforms, news organizations, as well as experts in social science, media literacy, policy, advocacy, cybersecurity and more."

Excellent 30-minute talk about the need for the #indieweb by Jeremy Keith.

Short summary: get your own website, publish and own your own content, and strengthen the network.
