"Facebook is not copying Twitter; it's copying FriendFeed, who originally copied Twitter"

Hmmmm, so what do we call this?  Lifestream? Micro-portal?

"First of all, Facebook is not copying Twitter; it's copying FriendFeed, who originally copied Twitter. Where Obasanjo describes two different models - phone book and micromessaging - there already are three, including personalized aggregation or what I will call the micro-portal. Facebook already had part of the last functionality, so its opening of the micromessaging stream consolidates all three legs of the tripod.Please Standy By, Steve Gillmor, TechCrunchIT

How Many Browsers Do You Use?

I use several: Flock, Firefox, Safari, and Opera (in that order). Each has benefits...
  • Flock - built-in Social Media integration, Extensible (e.g. add-ons, plugins - inherent, due to being based on Mozilla Firefox), and Customizable (e.g. Themes, re-arrange toolbars and buttons)
  • Firefox - Extensible (e.g. add-ons, plugins) , Customizable (e.g. Themes, re-arrange toolbars and buttons)
  • Safari - Fast, bookmark synchronization** with iPod Touch/iPhone's mini-Safari
  • Opera - Fast, built-in bookmark synchronization**, across computers
Which browser(s) do you use, and why?

NOTE: I use Mac OS X and Windows, and not LINUX [yet]. For mobile use, I use an iPod Touch.

* "Add-ons are installable enhancements to the Mozilla Foundation's projects" Wikipedia.org (my favorite add-ons)
** synchronized across computers and/or devices.

* An interview using Twitter to have the actual dialog (questions and answers)
** Presumably Eastern time, as that is where George is based.

Search personal Knowledge Base

I keep a personal wiki (of sorts), both at Google Docs and Google Sites. Started at Google Docs, and am migrating to Google Sites.

To be able to search them from my browser, I added search plugins to each place, into the browser's search tool.
