Catching Up Thing #46

So I have gotten behind on my Things and must get back in the swing of, well, things. This #46 feels like a bit of a cop out, checking out the originally visited websites, but whatever I guess I don't mind doing other peoples work. Blogger, well, it's still Blogger. Good thing is it's still there, they do now have a mobile service available, but that may have been there when I started, but I wouldn't need to use it so I might just have never noticed. Flickr. What can you say. Still Flickr. They now have "Groups" available for all assorted and sundry styles of freaks to get together online and share their pictures of their similar interests. Like apparently the freakomaniac in charge of their blog who likes dressing up her Chihuahua in Star Wars costumes. I mean really, a Border Terrorist in a Bee Suit at Halloween is one thing, but a Chihuahua as Obi-Wan on an average day is about one fry short of a Happy Meal, no? Bloglines, still lookin' pretty much the same, not that that is a bad thing, they just know their shit and do it well. What more do you want, people? Enough said. Feedster....much like Camper van Beethoven asked "Where, where the hell is Bill" I must ask, where the hell is Feedster....gone, daddy gone, as the Violent Femmes would have it. Topix.....pretty different. Didn't remember it opening up on pertinent Ytown info like it did. Kinda local immediacy to it now...hmmmm....how did it know? Very Rod Serling. Moving on...Technorati...scads of new stuff....including a million new blogs, however today it is moving to the blazing speed of a bloated tick, so we'll keep going. Syndic8...can't find it....not there! Generator Blog...well, duh...more generators....family crest, check it out.....cool stuff. LibraryThing....more languages, ability to review books early, and mobile cell phone stuff....yeah better and better! I'm on a roll here, and speaking of rolls, how about Rollyo...same stuff, it seems that a lot of people had issues with Rollyo, but I didn't have any problems, and that's pretty much how they left it! Delicious...still a stupid name: check, some things have changed, for one I have noticed that it is everywhere on the internet, linking people all over. Not very useful to me all around. Done, thing 46 in a nutshell!
