I switched to using WordPress because Blogger simply lacked the tools I wanted to use. I wanted categories (tags), I wanted a customizable template (but not necessarily free-code), and I wanted speed and efficiency. I may have all that now. There’s now a beta Blogger available, Mike tells us. Here’s a rundown of some of […]
Netscape Navigators still digging?
The way Jason Calacanis made it sound, the digg users now on the Netscape payroll were going to be “exclusively” ‘scaping (god, I hate that term) for the digg-like social news system. However, a look at the submission history on digg for top users Wayjer and dirtyfratboy shows that they are still contributing to the […]
Save Digg? Does it need saving?
Evidently the person(s) responsible for setting up SaveDigg.com think so. The site is a fantastically interesting concept. Basically it aggregates all the news stories that those three top digg users now on Netscape’s payroll post to Netscape. The idea is that you see what they are doing over there, and you post the same content […]
Why can’t I run Meebo?
I was all set to add the MeeboMe widget to my WordPress blog here, on Mike’s suggestion, of course. I added the widget to the template. I’ve had a Meebo account setup for my various IM apps for some time, but in getting bogged down in huge projects at work, I never even bothered to […]
Paid Netscape “Navigators” revealed
It looks like three digg users have taken Jason Calacanis’ offer and are now being paid $1000 a month to add social news content to Netscape. Top digg users BloodJunkie, DirtyFratBoy, and Wayjer have all accepted the paying gig, and quite a few notable digg users seem to have joined up on Netscape, as well, […]
Okay, so NOW there are sponsored links…
It only took two days. Two days after I gave Gazerk a glowing recommendation, they then implemented sponsored links on the results page. Luckily, they did it right. The ads are off to the side and they don’t inhibit or emulate the results you’re looking for. Good job, guys. You get to survive.
Gazerk video game search engine
Let me start off by saying that I hate print gaming publications. They are–in this electronic, online age we live in–essentially worthless. I recently received a free 1-year subscription to Electronic Gaming Monthly. Every bit of information found within its pages I had learned already weeks prior to its arrival in my mailbox. Pointless. Except […]

Digg v3.0 launching Monday
Link: TechCrunch More than likely, by the time you read this, the new version of Digg will have already launched. I just didn’t want anyone to forget. As a huge Digg proponent myself, I’m very much looking forward to the new format and added features. Blogged with Flock
So, Songbird is actually just singing a different tune
Apparently Songbird developers flock to websites whenever their product is mentioned. That’s fine by me. Developer Nivi has commented in my previous post regarding my non-acceptance of the Songbird build: We may be doing a bad job communicating the (eventual) Songbird value proposition. Songbird isn’t supposed to replace your web browser. It is supposed to […]
