Stalking Venus

My dad just sent me a link to a website which pretty much held me head-locked to the floor, drilled a hole in my skull and then fucked me in the mind until I was weeping for mercy. This is probably the most awesome bit of technology I’ve seen since Google came along, and from [...]

Here’s another one of those gadgets that measures all sorts of arcane metrics and uses them to configure the ‘real’ dollar value of your website.

The incredibly simple and unbelievably useful Foxmarks plugin has finally been updated to be compatible with Firefox 3 beta.
