%xhtml-lat1; %xhtml-special; %xhtml-symbol; --> ]> InstaContent http://instacontent.blogspot.com/ The word on the street is that blogs are the new push, so this site was created to push links rather than jerry-rig some communication protocol to the task. It is updated sporadically as content is unearthed. I also like to experiment with leading-edge web standards, so please let me know if they are not degrading gracefully. <q>I Just Wasn't Made For These Times</q> 2/18/2003 06:49:00 p.m. http://www.msnbc.com/news/873455.asp

I must be getting old because Microsoft's new 'NetGen'-targeted threedegrees software sounds annoying. Much like Comic Chat, this is a subset of IRC, however this time concentrating on the gee-whiz features rather than the actual discussion. I suspect the MSNBC article got it wrong: it's 12-17 year old girls who want pop-up animated emoticons — older people actually have something to talk about. While I'd love to see some R&D put into contact-list management, I think adding font styles to IMs was too much.

I also find it interesting that the RIAA will selectively drop their crusade against webcasting on Microsoft's behalf.
