For a long time I have continually raved about what I think is a severely under-used Cool Flickr Feature- the ability to add notes, or hypertext regions to images.

Thanks to Matt M who commented on my “Anyone Remember Podcasting” post, he pointed my to EveryZing– as search services that does keyword searches among audio and video content — and returns results that are linked directly to the segment […]
You know about email spam. You cannot avoid it, you cannot Can it, you cannot toss it though it is passed the expiration date, and you cannot even make a decent sandwich with it. But you know what this is, blog readers? That is my breakfast, yum, it is “Bacn”! Yes, the new hot meme […]
