I’ve blogged about Intense Debate as one of the TechStars 10 before, and have finally gotten around to re-implementing their comment system on this blog. To commemorate the occasion, I’m offering up my FIVE invites to join the ID beta. If you’d like one, please leave a comment, and be sure that I’ll be able to track you down to give you your invite somehow.
Once again, another new addition to the blog today. At the bottom of the sidebar, you’ll notice the Me.dium widget. But what is Me.dium? Me.dium is a social browsing service which allows you to see and interact with people whose browsing patterns are similar to your own. In other words:
Me.dium’s vision is to reveal the hidden world of people and activity behind your browser. For the first time, you can see your friends and others as they surf around you on the web.
- Brad Feld
That’s just the tip of the iceberg though. Along with the release of this new embeddable widget, Me.dium also released an IE7 browser extension which opens up their user base tremendously. (Me.dium previously only supported the Firefox browser.) For a more information on Me.dium’s recent direction, Peter Buttler, part of the CNet community, has posted a terrific overview of what Me.dium is and where its going.

There’s a new addition to the blog today. It’s called madKast. You’ll notice the little green icon next to the title of every post.
madKast is one of the many great ideas coming out of Boulder this summer. The team is part of a program called TechStars, a really cool program to help startups get their ideas off the ground.
Installing madKast was a snap, just paste their code somewhere before the </head> tag in your blog template and madKast does the rest. The service is currently in beta right now, so I expect some minor improvements before their official launch, but even in its current form, it seems like an awesome blog-sharing tool.
This is my inaugural post for the NPL Solutions blog. You’ll start to see a lot more from me as the days and weeks continue on, but I’d like to take this first opportunity to comment on the creation of this blog.
