Some News In Brief
This week the Crunchies were announced. These seem to me to compete only with Mashable. They are a set of awards from a set of blogs (TechCrunch, Read/Write Web, Giga Om et al) for “startups”. Commenters seemed generally annoyed with the lack of “startups” that were nominated. Voting is now open.

Mozilla launched Weave which is a new way of maintaining one browser experience across multiple devices. Apparently they just want to make the platform they have no desire to develop products for it themselves. It seems to me that this is just a repeat of Google’s Synchronised Bookmarks feature albeit broader and more open. I’m not overly impressed.
