WordPress.com, at some point over the past few weeks or so (I guess) started supporting the import of blog entries from Blogger.com blogs. This is fantastic, because I was participating in the maintenance of more than one blogger blog and ever since the move from the old Blogger to the new one I’ve been completely,…

Flickr Notes is the coolest thing ever
I can’t believe I’ve been using Flickr for like, two years, and only just now discovered “Notes”. I discovered them when I got a link from Tom Limoncelli’s blog to pics of the North Jersey LOPSA-NJ meeting that took place this past week. I stumbled upon this picture that had notes and completely lost my…
Finally! A Social Bookmark Link Generator for WordPress.com Users

It’s a wonderful book, and it’s easy…
New Word: Blogume
I had this really neat idea today, but I don’t have time to develop it, so someone needs to go make a million bucks with it and send me like $25,000 for the idea fee. The idea is simple: Create a centralized website that basically hosts or aggregates blogs that are geared toward potential or…
Web 2.0 As Closed and Redundant as it is Cool and Creative
I admit that I use, and like, a number of so-called Web 2. 0 applications. The blog you’re reading is actually hosted at WordPress.com. The good folks there let me make it look like it lives somewhere else if I want to, and as an added bonus, WordPress is a downloadable, open source application in…
