Parting Ways, And Tech-Head Gizmos
Under the umbrella of parting ways today:
A LiveJournal blogger is hosting a petition drive for all the ways she'd LIKE to party ways with LiveJournal, such that it's today's top blog post after launching just five days ago. "What is needed is a clear, concise method of user compatibility and a sleeker, updated look. We have yet to receive one or the other," writes Aly. The blogger at Writer's Block says it's mostly an attempt to keep LJ from turning into a MySpace clone
Lost the love
Also among today's top blog posts (No. 10) is former Presidential candidate Al Gore's refusal to endorse (actually, his refusal to even answer the question of whether he will endorse) former running mate Joe Lieberman. One blogger asks: does that mean Gore, who already has shown he can win the popular vote, still has Presidential hopes...again?
Gates, as he leaves
On-his-way-out Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates is also a hot blog topic today, and the farewell e-mail he sent to employees shows up at No. 17 among today's most-cited blog posts. Note the international flavor of the blog citations linking to it.
And Gizmos: Headless bears, cool shirts
Among the ha-ha techie discoveries this week: a Teddy bear USB drive (remove head; insert bear) featured at Engadget, and a USB air-conditioned shirt, compliments of Gizmodo.
