Carsonified, our friends who produce the excellent series of “Future of…” conferences, are interested in finding out what people’s favorite web applications are for their Web App Charts. So cast your vote for your favorite web app and be entered in a chance to win a Nintendo Wii.
While researching potential speakers for our next event, Future of Web Apps Miami, we were frustrated by the lack of quality information about popular and successful web apps. The Web App Charts are here to change all that!

Nikol Hasler and Guy Clark who produce the hilarious sex ed video blog Midwest Teen Sex Show were in town this week for the Sex::Tech conference. I had a chance to hang out with them last night at the Sex::Tech Happy Hour hosted at Shine.
I wrote about MTSS back in August and if you haven’t seen the series yet, I highly recommend checking it out. Their latest episode “Parents” helps teens with awkward process of talking to their parents about sex.
While they were in town, Violet Blue interviewed Midwest Teen Sex Show for her column in today’s San Francisco Chronicle.

PMA 2008, the big annual photography show, takes place next week in Las Vegas and with it each year come a bunch of big product announcements.
One of the early pre-show announcements is Canon’s new entry-level DSLR, the Digital Rebel XSi (450D), which replaces the Digital Rebel XTi and two new telephoto lenses, the EF 200mm f/2L IS USM and the EF 800mm f/5.6L IS USM.
Another announcement was Fujifilm’s new FinePix F100fd, the replacement for the FinePix F50, the powerful compact camera that I wrote about back in September.
