Inveterate dabbler in business, travel, gadgets & life
Amazing site for the teens and slightly above just look at this river of comments pouring in from its users, in real time. Another Myspace or YouTube in the making.
The site is still privately owned
“Sugar Publishing is a privately-owned media company focused on creating the best online editorial and community for trendsetting, passionate, smart women.”
Its seems true we are all going mad. This BA plane was forced to turn back
“Security teams on the ground advised that the plane could continue safely but after 90 minutes angry passengers complained and the pilot returned to the UK”.
What ever were those passengers thinking off? and what about the poor guy whose phone it is(was) they will be getting a knock from PC Plod quite soon.
Just discovered LibraryThing. Fantastic site that allows you to enter all your books by ISBN number or author and title. First 200 books are free to enter (I’m now at 150) and I would say at 
least 300 more to go. The really cool thing is that you can generate clouds either by tag, author etc.
This is a tag cloud of my top 50 autors todate. It also generates a widget that you can put on your website that enables anyone to search my library. My widget is on my books page.
Other features let you see how many other users have the same books as you and suggestions based on your current profile.
As always the hardest part is working out what tags to use. Maybe after I have finished reading Ellee’s present “Women Fire, and Dangerous Things by George Lakoff” – What categories reveal about the mind. I might be wiser, although it has to be said its a seriously heavyweight book.
As spoken by Britain’s outspoken Ex- Ambassador to the Central Asian Republic of Uzbekistan, Craig Murray:-
“None of the alleged terrorists had made a bomb. None had bought a plane
ticket. Many did not even have passports, which given the efficiency of
the UK Passport Agency would mean they couldn’t be a plane bomber for
quite some time.”
To me the whole episode smells and not of Acetone either, given that it all happened within 36hours of Tony leaving the country.
As Craig says about John Reid, Home Secretary “A hardened Stalinist with a long term reputation for personal
violence, at Stirling Univeristy he was the Communist Party’s
“Enforcer”,…..Reid was sent to beat up those who deviated from the Party line”
As Craig ends
– Be sceptical. Be very, very sceptical. and I most surely am.
