My wife is having here birthday and we’re down here for fun.  Meanwhile….

Jeff Barr and Amazon have shipped their store APIs for Second Life.  Folks are starting to use them already.

Now Bebo has bands - too.

MySpace Layouts - 9th most popular search term.  Gee - yah think people are interested in customizing their pages?

The effects of Friendster’s SNS patent are being contemplated.  I wonder what the details are and what they have to do with Ryze’s obvious earlier incantation? What could they possibly claim that wasn’t in Ryze?  Thank God we don’t have that stupid friend< ->friend< ->friend display.  I think that’s what this is all about.  NOT relevant to any of OUR SNS!  Baruch Ha’shem!

Authentication gets smart.  I sure HOPE so!

Count them - 180 Plugins.

Lots more social networks appearing everyday: NextCat, GarageBand,

And new ‘home pages’ (I call them dashboards) are appearing, as well: Nowsy.

And NetVibes keeps raising the barrier of entry.

Omnidrive is getting closer to shipping.

So now NetGear gets into the Home Media scene by buying Skipjam along with Microsoft, Yahoo and Sonic Solutions.  Oh Goodey.
