As if I didn’t have anything else to do but play around with something that I’m guessing is almost completely worthless, you can now check out the AgWired Frappr Map. What is it? I’m not really sure. Just another experiment in internet social communication.

I’m curious if you’d agree with the FTC that email spam is levelling off or actually declining. I saw this story a few days ago right after I’d received about 5 emailed viruses (Norton Internet Security took care of them) and another 20+ pure unadulterated spam emails. It seems to me like the level has been increasing the last month.

Just when I finally got my personalized Google and MyYahoo pages set up now there’s Windows Live (beta).

What a day it has been at ZimmComm. I’m getting ready to hit the road again with my new little Dell notebook and it was giving me fits. In fact, it took a Norton Internet Security tech about an hour to walk me through all the steps necessary to allow Outlook to check and send email! I think I’ve got all the bugs worked out. At the same time Amy’s working on database maintenance and that created a slew of “situations.” Those have all been resolved too.

Speaking of New York. There’s an interesting story in the New York Times (requires free registration) about rural wireless internet access titled “Money Is There to Aid Rural Internet, but Loans Are Hard to Get.” I’ve reported before on the USDA Rural Development program that provides loans to companies that want to install and bring more broadband access to rural Americans (farmers).

I just found out about this website ranking tool from Silktide called Sitescore. You enter your website’s URL and it runs over 100 tests in just a few moments and then gives you a report.

When we hear about new websites it always gets our attention. Today, the FAO announced not just one, but 2 new websites.
