So, this was MY question today: as in, I wanted to re-post a tweet about moonshine arts & literary magazine. I couldn't quite remember what I wrote and I didn't use a #hashtag. So what to do? How do you search your own twitter feed? There are lots of cool trending tools out there, but those are very limited in terms of timeframe. I personally like trendtastic.Per my usual M.O. I tweeted, buzzed, & facebook'd my request --even before I google'd, now what does that tell ya?

So, I'm the admin for like 5 different google groups. I've set the groups to moderation for new members and membership has to be approved. Still, still, we are getting hit with spam. Finally, as a desperate last measure, I've closed the list down for reading, unless you are logged in. I kind of wanted to keep the list open for reading, but oh well...I discovered that google groups is being hit with spam and there has even been some chatter on the 'net that google is slowly dumping google groups.

Kodak to Stop Making KodachromeBy MIKE BARRISEastman Kodak Co. will discontinue its iconic Kodachrone color film this year due to tumbling sales as photographers embrace newer Kodak films or digital imaging technology.Kodak introduced the amateur color film in 1935 and it became the first commercially successful color film. But sales are just a fraction of 1% of the company's still-picture film revenue.

If you haven't been following all of the IE6 news of late, Youtube seems to be the most recent site to discontinue support for IE6:http://tinyurl.com/mpmu5yMashable says that in order for the web to progress, IE6 must go (and briefly explains the major issues with IE6):http://mashable.com/2009/07/16/ie6-must-die/...and if you really hate IE6, you can always join the death to IE6 movement. ;-)http://iedeathmarch.org/
