Welcome, again, to another entirely subjective selection of 15 links, humanely culled from my week's online reading and roughly collated under the seven broad categories seen below:
Selected Highlights from Guardian Technology (Because otherwise I just don't get around to reading it now it's no longer in the print edition).
A lesson in how not to handle social media - this time, courtesy of the Royal Opera House .
FTSE Techmark index at highest point since 2001.
Internet Explorer 9 (beta) launches - but how does it measure up?
Google to add more 'social layers' to its services, but not creating a Facebook killer.
The importance of net neutrality, according to Tim Berners-Lee.
Social Media
Twitter is now much easier to use, with a new two-pane layout.
Facebook's location publishing app 'Places' now available in the UK.
The increasing importance of 'social' to 'search'.
Books, Writing & Storytelling

26 Treasues at the V&A Museum showcases a collection of 62-word reflections on 26 objects within the museum - running 18-26 September 2010.
Watch as 36 authors create a novel, live and online, in six days - from 11-16 October 2010.
Useful Apps, Utilities & Downloads

Games & Other Distractions
Haiku Hero: write haikus against the clock, with bonus points for meeting various rules and constraints.
