My friend Jeppe just showed me a report on "Leading surveillance societies in the EU and the World 2007", where Denmark, where I live, is listed under "extensive surveillance societies".

You can download WordPress at wordpress.org/download.

I'm trying to add the feed from onlineminds.dk (which I co-run with Kim Elmose) to my Jaiku account, but I get a "Page not found" error:
Whoa! Who turned up the heat? Servers are running a bit hot right now, please try again in a couple minutes.
Could this be because of the Jaiku hype after [...]

Google itself has now officially announced that it has bought Jaiku.
Interesting thing though.. when you look at the blog entry in the blog and in the feed, you'll see a difference:
From the blog:
[...] We plan to use the ideas and technology behind Jaiku to make compelling and useful products. [...]
From the feed:
[...] We plan [...]

On my daily surf I suddenly came across a "search your browsing history" link at Google.
That link took me to google.com/history. Since this is the first time I'm hearing of this, I can only tell you what is written on that page:

You know that great web site you saw online [...]
