Mike Sugarbaker: “It’s very simple: there are some friends you’d trust with your seat at Starbucks, but far fewer you’d trust with your car keys, and even fewer with, say, your sister in a tube top.”

“Juice is an alternate browser with built-in support for Google’s search API. With Juice, you don’t just search for information, you gather information.” (via ScriptingNews)
Looks interesitng. Although, I have similary functionality right within this Blog by integrating the Google API with post meta data

Open Source Blog and CMS Portal
OS-CMS is an informative portal that lists and briefly summarizes many of the Open Source CMS and Blog tools available. However, what makes this portal special is that they also provide demos of each.
AT&T Wireless turns to Wi-Fi
Have WiFi, will travel … AT&T Wireless “… announces a pact with a Wi-Fi network provider to give its subscribers wireless access at more than 485 venues around the country.” (via CNET)
automatically generate a list of …
dive into mark: “Why canÂ’t I just click an “auto-content” button and have my software automatically generate a list of, say, a dozen interesting links and quotes culled from my aggregator subscriptions, “neighboring” sites, sites discussing the hot topics of the day, and mainstream articles reporting on a small hard-coded list of additional topics?”
Seem like it would be easy enough to create a service like this given the Blogish services available today.
Spam Filtering with gzip
From Kuro5hin: “While many people see gzip as a compression tool, it also makes a credible spam filter. Here’s how.”
Web Services: Script globally, publish locally
Jon Udell: “A picture can be worth a thousand words. But a URL can be worth half a dozen pictures. When application behavior is expressed [as a web service], you empower your community of users to share it directly. And Google, which can zero in on URLs and URL fragments in Web pages posted by those users, becomes your tireless and efficient helpdesk assistant.”

Macromedia Contribute
I spent a few minutes today runing throught the product tour of Macromedia’s new light-wieght CMS application Contribute and I have to say that for $99 it seems to be very powerful… I need to test out a demo before I believe the hype, but it certainly has peeked my interest.
Blog via SMS using Moblogger
Moblogger: “This application runs as a background process that monitors a POP3 email account for new email, then downloads it, detaches any files such as pictures, sound or video, uses the Blogger API to post the text in the email to your blog and uses FTP to post the files to your server. Send the email from a phone and you immediately start “moblogging”. (via Ben)
However, it seems to me that Abe Fettig HEP Message server is moving in a similar direction, but not really focused on Moblogging.
