I tried to vote Occasionally in the "Are Bloggers Journalists?" but I was given an error message "please select a valid entry"

I'd say a blogger can be a journalist, but I'm not!

Thanks for the balanced view. It's nice to read a post that is not frothing at the mouth.

From a business prospective, the niche is the way to go. Betting you are going to enter the space and be as big as Facebook or myspace is delusion. To think you could be a destination for Magma fans is maybe not so far off.

Oh, this is good. My blog has been getting scraped, and my site is going to be content heavy. I'm all over this, thanks for the post!

Avoiding hedges is really hard for me. I really want to give all sides, contrary views, possible exceptions.

It might be a good skill set for a tutor, but not a blogger.

Does this story any other sources? I find this story impossible to believe.

I know when I want to upload a large file, it takes forever, and it hogs processor and bandwidth so much that I try and only do it at night. I'm a photographer, so this is a frequent occurrence.

I think that if I had a new 500 GB hard drive, and when i started putting photos on it it started sending them anywhere, it would be pretty obvious. And I don't even have any firewalls or network monitoring.

I always forget about woot. I should make a calender event to remind me to check them more often.

In my opinion, 5 years from now the distinction between "online" and "offline" will seem less relevant. I think the so called "real" and so called "virtual" world are on a collision course.

If everyone is online all the time, and every street, building and product is tagged and indexed online, we are going to enter a state of ubiquity that will make the internet seem like an extension of ourselves.

Re: Babel Fish Is Not A Diplomatic Tool

It mat be a horrible diplomatic tool, but I had better luck with a woman once. She was Croatian, and I wrote an email to her, and used Babel fish to translate the email (I included the original English too)

She informed me that my Croatian was horrible, but she thought it was so great that I was trying.
