On May 24, 2006 SightSpeed introduced version 4.6 of their video conferencing solution and I must say that I was blown away. I have been patiently waiting for a video solution with quality as good as, if not better, than Apple's iChat AV which would also work cross-platform and be easy to use. Finally SightSpeed has come to the rescue.

The thing I like most about traditional web search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN is that they ask very little of me as a content creator. All I have to do is make my web site easy for to crawl by their search engine spiders. The beauty of this is that it's a fairly easy thing to do, and I don't have to change a thing if additional search engines are launched. New search engines can index my site's content and display results from my site without any additional work on my part.

I spent a couple hours at a
downtown
Minneapolis Panera Bread today sitting outside enjoying the afternoon
weather while drinking a lemonade and catching up on a few emails between
meetings. At one point, I checked up on a few of my favorite RSS feeds in
Bloglines, including

Nick & Jessica, Angelina & Brad, and - of course - Paris Hilton.

Blogburst, a division of the feed reader company, Pluck, syndicates blog content to news sites. Bloggers register their sites with the service and news sites then pick blogs to syndicate as additional content on their sites.
