I’m trying this today.
Get more organized. Twine provides one place to tie everything together: emails, bookmarks, documents, RSS feeds, contacts, photos, videos, product info, data records, and more. And, because Twine actually understands the meaning of any information you add in, it helps you organize all your stuff automatically. Finally, you can search and browse everything and everyone you know, about anything, in one convenient place.
Twine might be part of the new semantic web. From the readwriteweb.com web site:
Tim O’Reilly brings up Google, Flickr interestingness and how users can influence results (collective intelligence etc), but that it’s usually passive and hidden behind silos. But these new semantic apps are more open and they’re platform players.
Every phobia you’d ever want to know.

Fear of anger or the fear of cholera.
Most articulate response to censorship I’ve ever read:
In Charleston, West Virginia, one of the schools, Nitro
High School, is going through a controversy regarding banning books by Pat
Conroy. An AP class has read two of
Conroy’s Books, and now parents and community members have challenged them, and
the board of education has formed a committee comprised of teachers and
community members which has been charged with determining whether the Conroy
books should be banned or not. While the
controversy continues, it looks to me that the books will be banned. In today’s Charleston Gazette, our state’s
largest paper, Conroy has a letter regarding this controversy. It is a letter that I will keep with me for
years to come, and I thought others of our community who have faced or may face
book challenges might appreciate Conroy’s comments, so I share it with you:
