YouTube Japan - As promised, Chad Hurley and Steve Chen are headed to Japan to talk with JASRAC on Tuesday regarding the Japanese media group's copyright complaints. JASRAC originally ordered that 30,000 videos be pulled from the site, but they continue to have concerns. As mentioned previously, JASRAC represents some of the most powerful Japanese media companies. This is just Chad's way of saying: please don't sue us. (via)

Diarised - Web tools continue to tackle life's little problems: Diarised is a super simple tool for arranging meetings. Of course, most of the online calendaring tools can also be used for this purpose, making you wonder whether a specialized site is really necessary.

GameGum - GameGum is a Digg for gamers - today they're announcing a revenue sharing scheme that will allow users to earn a cut of the ad revenue from AdSense.

MyTripYourMoney - This enterprising Swede is trying to raise cash for a trip around the US in a Lamborghini. Funding for MyTripYourMoney will come from selling "pixel ads" on the car - essentially The Million Dollar Homepage on a car. They're also set to launch a social network/community to support the effort.
