Friday bonus squibs

Because there’s a lot out there today:

• Follow the 2007 Tour de France in Google Earth. Who needs TV?
• Vote to Determine the New Seven Wonders of the World. Time magazine has apparently been put in charge of naming the seven new wonders.
• Roanoke.com. Ed Cone reports that the innovative Roanoke Times is the latest to turn to buyouts — and warnings of pink slips to come.
• Online Music: 90+ Essential Music and Audio Websites. I’m ready to crown the folks at Mashable kings of the web 2.0 list. Here’s another reason why.
• LessonBites Launches iTunes Model for Educational Video. Sign up, pay to upload videos for distribution, get paid for downloads. The site looks a little controlling (editorial approval of lesson plans, videos kept inside the walled garden, etc.) but interesting.
• Nokia announces ‘mobile newspaper’ in India. What do you mean your newspaper has no strategic plan for mobile?
• Online Video: Shooting Tips. Andy Dickinson takes time out of the classroom to teach the rest of us some storytelling skills.
