I'm working on my project right now, so unfortunately not a lot of time to blog. But still, instead of just letting the blog die completely I decided to share one of my favorite services with you.
It's the RIPE whois lookup service.
The service isn't always very good at looking up domains, but what it lacks [...]

At O'Reilly Network there's a post titled "Using Google to View MySpace or Any Restricted Site" that shows you how to [...]

Mike Arrington from TechCrunch has a post on BritePic – a service that let's you embed you picture in a Flash file and then displayed.
I doubt if this is going to work.

It requires both JavaScript and Flash Player

Forbes has created a list entitled "The Web Celeb 25" about — you guessed it — the 25 most known celebrities on the web.

Tonight, the Danish Broadcasting Association's more alternative television channel, DR2, showed a programme with a focus on the "the new reality of the internet".
They talk about, among other things, Second Life and Wikipedia.
If you understand Danish, you can watch the programme online.
