The GestureBank recorder which Steve has already built (currently works only in Firefox) - grabs every web site, how long you sepnt there and what time of [...]

So I just finished a session at Gnomedex on open standards and I did not ONCE mention PeopleAggregator.

I used Events, Attention, value added features and data formats as topics - and [...]

We’re live at PeopleAggregator.net.  This shot was taken at the very moment we went live.
No more invites - just come on in and have fun.

OK following up on yesterday’s scene and this mornings crash - the power people decided it was time to shut down our entire neigborhood in Walnut Creek - to trim trees.  Out here in Cali - the tree limbs hitting power lines is a major cause of forest fires.
