A little email discussion.

Tag Cloud is a cool free service. You give it a list of RSS feeds, it pulls out the tags and builds a “Cloud” with sizes based on word frequency. Check the righ side here to see what I mean.

TagCloud is an automated Folksonomy tool. Essentially, TagCloud searches any number of RSS feeds you specify, extracts keywords from the content and lists them according to prevalence within the RSS feeds. Clicking on the tag’s link will display a list of all the article abstracts associated with that keyword.

OK, I’ve moved on from http://del.icio.us . Blinklist is my online tagged bookmark site of choice. Blinklist looks better, but the main reason I changed is that it supports private bookmarks. You can import your del.ici.us bookmarks, as well as the ones from Firefox. I’m listed as Bamfsog if you want to see what I’m swinging.

Hi, I thought you would like to check out www.BlinkList.com. It is a great new site that makes it super fun and easy for us to automatically see the lates sites (news articles, blog posts, funny clips, etc.) we are discovering online.

Anne Rice has found the Lord. God help us all.

In two weeks, Anne Rice, the chronicler of vampires, witches and—under the pseudonym A. N. Roquelaure—of soft-core S&M encounters, will publish “Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt,” a novel about the 7-year-old Jesus, narrated by Christ himself. “I promised,” she says, “that from now on I would write only for the Lord.”

It not much of a service, but the idea is cool. You take a pic with your camera phone, and have your friends or the entire community, rate the person. Then you recieve the ratings. The problem with the service is that its all email. You email the pic, the service emails your friends, then you get an email with the results.

We might consider something cool in trade - maybe a foosball table or Galaga video game?

Looks like people are already starting to use the T-Mobile EDGE network.

T-Mobile turned on EDGE recently. Now all you need is an EDGE data card or phone.

I used my EDGE connection to upload the photos, edit their titles/descriptions, add them to the set, etc. It would have been maddening under normal GPRS speeds.

I can’t spell. I’d love to blame it on lack of education, but its simply a matter of not paying enough attention to what I type, combined with the fact that I have had readily available spell check programs for most of my academic and professional writing needs. Now with all this Web 2.0 stuff, I am reduced to copying and pasting into Word. Well no more! Google to the rescue again. The toolbar does other stuff too, but the spellcheck was my immediate need. And yes, they do make a version for Firefox.

ARe yu a raelly bad tyipsst? Google Toolbar’s new Spellcheck button finds any spelling mistakes whenever you type into a web form, including web-based email, discussion forums, and even intranet web applications. The AutoFix option even corrects all of your text with a single click.
