I found Canvascape, an impressive first-person shooter built using the Firefox 1.5 canvas tag. It demonstrates textured 3D environments rendered natively in the browser, highlighting the potential for early web gaming using new standards.
I found a tool from Airtight Interactive that lets you explore Flickr's folksonomy through a related tag browser. It offers a visual, interactive way to navigate and discover connected keywords within the photo-sharing community.

I explore the potential resurgence of text-based games and point to Skotos as a noteworthy platform. It is a brief look at how interactive fiction and prose-driven gaming continue to evolve.
I discuss the early implications of the rel=nofollow tag, specifically how webloggers might monetize their sites by charging fees to remove the tag and pass along valuable PageRank to external links.
