Is nothing sacred? March 31, 2006

People live and blog by the results they find in Technorati. I sincerely hope that the newly discovered fact that Technorati indexes myspace blogs turns out to be nothing more than an elaborate April Fool's joke. As a participant in both the blogosphere and Myspace, I strongly believe that any cross-contamination of the two should be avoided.

IM Revolution (?) March 18, 2006

AtariBoy wants to ditch MSN and convert to a more pure Gtalk existence. While I do applaud him for his earnest Google fanboy-ism, I can’t help but point out the flawed analogy that he uses to help justify his decision.
“I like to think of this as a mini verison of the battle Apple and to some extent Linux (half of the linux community dont want n00bs using linux) are going through to try and switch people from using Windows.”
I think that the real “linux of IM” would have to be Jabber, and not just Google’s limited take on the XMPP protocol. Also thanks to software like Gaim and websites like Meebo, maintaining multiple IM accounts is far easier than booting dual operating systems. I’m surprised that everyone doesn’t do that; the situation really shows the mind-numbing results of bundling.
–unrelated note– Expect this blog to be moving to kennethjr.info soon; the WordPress.com server has been really wacked of late.

I’ve recently discovered a new function for del.icio.us tags: link-sending. If you want to send me an interesting site just include the tag for:kchood (no spaces) and I’ll receive it directly.
Also newly discovered (after 9 months using del.icio.us), is the well organized help index. ;)
