  • Karl  There are other services providing food/shelter/job training. Just because Google is providing this service doesn't preclude others from providing other services. Sometimes people need a hand up and not a hand out. That was my case. And I'm thankful to have gotten the help I did when it came to a phone number and address to respond to job inquiries, etc.

  • Karl  Being once homeless I can assure you that voice mail is something that is more than welcome. In order to get a job, to get an apartment, to establish anything - you need a consistent way of being contacted. Living in squat after squat, sleeping on train after train, I can't tell you how much I am thankful for a few folks who took my phone calls for me. That's not a joke. It was crucial to me getting off the streets. So was a mailing address.

  • Karl  Question - Why doesn't Slashdot count anymore? Please don't say it is the quality of the commenting or posters. Or that having a group of editors intercede in what gets promoted is somehow antiquated and wrong (because umm... Digg is now doing just that - except non-transparently).

  •   mathewi  It's not that Slashdot doesn't count, Karl -- I just think for whatever reason Digg is the hotspot, and so a lot of the issues that are coming up have to do with them. Digg is the new black :-)

  • Karl  Hi, While I think this is a great idea, supposedly coRank http://www.corank.com/ does this. More at Read/WriteWeb: http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/burying_the_digg_clones.php
