Aol/Yahoo Merger?
Came across this piece on Ars about a possible merger. My initial thought was what does this hold for Instant Messaging? A merger of the Y! network and AIM with Y! already having the ability to talk to MSN. Sounds like a good idea to me!

Tweaking, but not quite a live re-design
I’ve noticed a lot recently that many bloggers are giving their sites a live re-design. As prompted by my recent post Why Blog? I went back to a stock K2 install. I’ve since made a few tweaks and plan to make many more, it occured to me that it might look like I [...]
Family Trees
