Distractions.

Just read an article about the popularity of the word 'Blog'. Looks like it is the most sought after word this year. Check this news. (http://tinyurl.com/6zgnn ). That's the url I used, but if you copy pasted it, you would get the original yahoo news url. The site I used to do the conversion was TinyUrl.com and it gives a tiny url in lieu of a long url. Very useful when mailing or messaging long links. And speaking of blogs, microsoft is releasing its own blog space for users with hotmail or msn accts. Check it out here. Looks like the blog scene is getting really hot with almost all major names vying to offer the service. Wondering what the revenue model will be and what will be the differentiator. The brighter side - it encourages so many of us to write regularly, however useful or useless it may be to others.

In case you are one of those who loves to surprise oneself, try stumbleupon. Install the tool bar and volle - time flies, you will go to new and exciting websites and discover cool ones. Keep clicking on the stumble button on the tool bar and it will take you to a new site every time. Comes up with some real neat ones which otherwise would have been lost in this online jungle. A la Alice in WebOland. Enjoy.
