Bebo's everywhere. I finally had to cut an account and poke at it.
No links out to homepage, limited html (no anchors!), no rss out. Weird safety blurbs throughout. Hard to find people ... conspiracy theory sez that equals page views. A well walled garden.
Ah, well, picked out a skin and found one band that I like ... Machine Head

The interface of the Google Reader is just better, and while the Bloglines folks have tried to upgrade their offering recently, giving it some small updates to make incremental improvements - it's like putting the proverbial lipstick on a pig."
Ah! I use the bloglines toolkit constantly for web clipping to Breadcrumbs. It's part of the reason that I seldom think of swapping feed readers. I use Rojo for high-volume, low-information feeds and don't think twice about marking all feeds read. Google Reader doesn't seem near as useful as the above, maybe if I found a few more hotkeys it could be.
Bah! I finally get around to signing up and this greets me. I wanted to collect all the feeds and dump them into the identity aggregators.

Ah, An identity service for bbses and forums. Yay. Oh, bah! Closed beta.
So weird having to create yet another id for a services forum or wiki ...
Funny meme pooling onto flickr. Some of my faves are The Wall, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, and The Elements of Style.
Really busy website with way too many blinky things going on. A few browser crashes, even. Looks like it's trying to do central profile, though.
Guess to make it really useful you have to cough up passwords for the other sites. I'll have to create some shortdurperselves to try it out ...
Now, Ziki on the other hand looks more like a feed aggregator with some profile links. Nice tagging and 'find similar', though. A limited set of social networks to choose from, which is odd since they don't seem to pull anything from them, but, you can still slurp feeds from whereever.
Gimmie a plain ole rss feed slurper and link farm anyday. Oh! And tribe finally make rss feeds for their blogs.
Guess I've got switch to the new version of blogger (gooblo?) and mess with the sidebar now ...

Whoa, nice drop-down subscribe. Now if I can only remember to use it ...
"If you like this, you might also like..."
Awesomo linking powers!
Ah! A much better name than Twenty-first Amendment Passes Day.
"Generally, Repeal Day is celebrated with the consumption of alcoholic beverages."
I'll drink to that!
Multiply: " Cross-posting allows you to have blog entries posted to LiveJournal, Blogger, TypePad, Xanga, or Windows Live Spaces automatically posted to Multiply as well.
Allow any combination of people from your Network, Contacts and Individuals to see your posts."
Ah! Feeds for both people and groups! Skins and CSS. Oddly there doesn't seem to be much a profile, just basic user name, picture, and location.

Wack.
I shall have to abuse boingy!

Why? Because, according to Mark 3:29 in the Holy Bible, 'Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin.'"
Hat tip to BuzzFeed: "Damn yourself to hell via YouTube, win a free DVD! Wow, no one told me that my fellow comrades in the War on Christmas were HOT! We are totally gonna win this one."
Wonkette: "Our favorite part, besides checking out the cute atheist teenagers, is that they’ve advertised in Tiger Beat and Boy Scout Trail"
We currently support blogs, Facebook, Flickr, and YouTube, with more to come soon."
Huh, a weird combination of social identity aggregator and stalker. Not so gleeful about the download and the communities don't make much sense via a browser.

Heh! And they're still rolling in ...
On the bright side, BuzzFeed keeps my reading singing with things like the Blasphemy Challenge and the War on Xmas.
Eeek! Those pix should have scared me away, but, noooo. Looks like they slurped places from somewheres and slapped random images on them. Ah, well, it's built, maybe they will come. Not seeing any blogging or rss feeds.
Coastr also has a nice angle.
Don't really see how this will fit into the upcoming, evite, dodgeball mix ...

Heh, that's going to leave a mark.
The SFCron says that a Muni deficit is projected, but fares will hold steady "Muni has raised fares twice since 2003, with the cost of a regular adult fare now at $1.50 -- a 50 percent increase. Going back for a third fare increase would not be politically palatable, particularly in a year when Mayor Gavin Newsom will be running for re-election and Muni's service reliability is slipping.
Muni is the Bay Area's busiest public transit system with about 618,000 boardings each day. But by the agency's own measures, vehicles are overcrowded, service is slowing down and missed runs are the norm."
It's even better that Office of the Mayor sez that "Newsom sponsored legislation implementing Rescue Muni's reform plan and helped put our Municipal Railway on the road to recovery."
Now, about that Central Subway ...
Funny. Gimmie a pipe and get out of the way. What would I need another account for?
Ugg. So Dumb. Looks like they might actually connect to existing metro stations via tunnels. They don't even make it up to Stockton or North Beach, just dump 'em off at the Lion Gate.
