No links, just bids

Among many ways for listing a website the best is the one that follows the users' rank.
No meta text, no links, no payperplacement.
You are the first if you are the most voted.
That is the concept that Big, a highly promoted web directory, follows when listing a website.
The bid for position.
The top 10 listings are shown on the homepage and top 20 on the top links page. All listings are permanent.
How does it sound?
To me it sounds good and fair.
You can also find the latest links and the recommended sites.
It pays to give it a try, may be you can be surprised finding what you wouldn't with another search engine...

Conference Blog

"I enjoy civil conversation. Much of what appears on blogs or in chat groups or in other online forums is uninformed repetitious uninformed drivel… and boring besides."
And then
"Back to Infamous Scribblers: “If somehow the men and women who settled the New World could rise from their graves and return to us today… and pick up our newspapers and magazine, if they were to watch our television newscasts and listen to the verbal butcheries on our opinion programs on all-news cable and talk radio, even the loudest of them, even the coarsest, the most mean-spirited – if under some marvelous set of circumstances, the citizens of the eighteenth century could find a way to make themselves media-savvy in the first decade of the twenty-first century, they would be startled by, and perhaps not altogether approving of, the extent to which we have tamed the wildly inglorious impulses of their journalism.”
Tom Evslin on Tim O’Reilly has proposed a code of conduct for bloggers...and Infamous Scribblers

I like to comment to comments...It's like a conference blog...
First: If somehow...They cannot, and if they did, how do we know how they would react? May be differently than what we can suppose...

Second: God spare us from code of conduct or similar restrictions.
If you are an impolite funny and intelligent you'll write funny and intelligent impolite posts, if you are not, the politeness won't make them interesting.
So, let people talk and talk as they want and like, the readers will decide what is worth and what is not...
That is the beautiful of the Internet that makes it different from a newspaper.
How many articles people would have enjoyed reading were not published because of this or because of that?
Regarding civil conversation, also this is subjective, what is civil for my son looks outrageous to me, but that doesn't mean that I am right, sometimes it just means I am getting old...

For a "boring" day...

Is this one of those days you have nothing to do?
Or you would have a lot to do and feel like JUST doing nothing?
All you need is your computer and a broadband connection.
You go to Mac Poker Online , Poker for Macs.
They have organized a list of what are the best online poker sites to play poker for Mac. You can play for free or for real at all of these, and each has established an excellent reputation.
The most recomended is PacificPoker.com .
They are operated by one of the largest online gambling networks in the world, 888.com. In addition to that, they own Casino on Net. Both their Mac poker and Mac casino software utilize Java and there is no download required, which is important, because it means no infectious spyware.
Anyway, before playing, you can read the review online and then decide.
You can even get a bonus of 25% up to $100 plus an extra $25 at Online Casino Bonuses
So, if you are fond of playing and like to do it online, I guess it pays to have a visit in this website....

The Lie about Broadband

"The word “broadband” is like the word “radio”. If you ask people about radios they’ll think about Howard Stern (or NPR?) before they think about oscillators.
I keep pointing out that broadband is an industry not really a technology anymore. And it’s the antithesis of the Internet yet because we managed to communicate despite it people want more of whatever it is."
"The tragedy, as my short comment implied, is compounding this misunderstandings by locking us into legislation that reinforced the biggest lie – that the telecom industry delivers that Internet from the great hydro-Internet plans located somewhere or another."
Bob Frankston
