Pilgrim’s Picks for July 9 – Summer in the Mountains Edition

Visiting the mountains is a full on quest for discovery. Just this past few days, look at what I’ve discovered:

Lost Creek - yes, despite a big sign pointing the way, it appears I’m the first to discover it.
Hidden Driveway – poor driveway. All it ever wanted to be when it grew up, was hidden, then someone goes and spoils it with a big sign.
Falling Rock – there must be more than one town called "Falling Rock" in North Carolina, because I see signs for it everywhere!

Oh hai, I almost forgot, you’re hear for today’s Picks:

Microsoft has announced a hosted version of its office products and what appears to be an affiliate program to encourage others to sell the service too.
Did British Telecom just acquire Ribbit for $55 million? And, does it plan to build a Google Grandcentral rival?
VideoEgg has added a slew of new features to its online video ad network.
Keep an eye on BuzzFeed. The site tracks which web content is gaining popularity and "going viral." It just raised $3.5 million.

Do you give-up, or are you thirsty for more? Here are the latest items shared on my link blog:

I’m rather fond of Buzzfeed, it’s like Digg without the wise guy comments :p

haha…I kind of rather enjoy Digg. The wit goes a long way and it’s fun to try match knowledge with everyone else.

It can be fun but there’s too much of an ‘in-joke’ culture from the most dugg commenters. This I suppose is in keeping with the site’s demographic.

We agree with the user above — Digg is extremely cliquey and you have little chance of succeeding on there unless you are part of that clique.

I love digg.

It’s such a hard thing to find an original article that you can publish and get dugg.

It’s seen nearly everything there is.
