For a while blogger/blogspot was making me fill in a CATCHA to make sure I was human to post to my own blog.  I believe the reason was because many of my posts were a few short sentences with typically one link.  Something like, "I need to look into technology blah, because it could help out blah blah."  I didn't really understand this until I went to use Microsoft's Live Writer product and post to blogspot.  It failed with an error message that directed me to a request a human review my blog.  That all occurred and now I can post from from Live Writer.  In fact, this post is using Live Writer.

Here's an interesting OpenSearch tag set on shadows.com, which I need to investigate further.  And perhaps add a search or two related to it.  I believe this is one of those web 2.0 sites using social bookmarking.  It's apparently implemented in Ruby on Rails, which is cool.

Reddit is a kind of social bookmarking service that allows you to keep and rank links.   Everyone sees all the links and ranks them, so there's a democratic effect of measuring links and sites.  Here's my Reddit home page.

Testing the Live.com Writer application which is a blog editor.  Although I was aware that such things existed, I had never used one.  This one seems straightforward and simple and works with a variety of blog sites and tools:  blogger, live spaces, typepad, and wordpress.  Seems cool so far.
