How many of these things do you recognize:

  • LJMatch
  • Friendster
  • LJ Friend to Friend connections
  • MindMap

    Folks, if you’re gonna create something very cool that does some for of LJ analysis. For the love of all that is divine, please be prepared for the net onslaught it is going to cause.

    There are 1.8 million accounts and almost a million are active. Just looking at the first page states that there are 6900 posts an hour. If you post something really cool. Your servers will pay.

    Rant off 😉

  • Cribbed from shimmeringjemmy (even though I saw at least 5 other people with it..)

    friend_whoring: a journal whose sole purpose is to see how many people it can get to befriend it. I think I was #980.

    From the department of Kurt (my coworker) comes this tidbit off the Online Version of Britain’s Sun newspaper:

    Bear in New Mexico survives 7200 volt shock from power line and 30 foot plummet.

    So… it’s just one of those days.

    This was posted by fraserspeirs in his journal. This is probably the funniest analysis of news I’ve heard in a long time. Please take the time to comment to him if you agree.

    Quoth the Fraser:
    BBC: Net blamed for rise in child porn. This is obviously true. I saw a router and two webservers hanging around the school gate the other day with a packet of sweets, offering them to the kids. An 802.11 base station was sitting in a car across the road in a dirty raincoat with a digital camera.
