Windows Live Toolbar
Published by Picturesque on Monday, July 31, 2006 at 8:36 AM.
Ok. It's not new, but after posting an article about Google's toolbar, I had to play fair. The MSN toolbar is also a good choice. Although it has far fewer options, it is simpler to use. Onfolio appears to be a great option allowing you to "capture, organize, and share images, whole Web pages, and even entire sites". Although I haven't tried it, it does sound addicting.

Law.com - Online Peers Stand Up for Craigslist in Lawsuit
Published by Picturesque on at 9:08 AM.
Craiglist is a highly popular place to post classified ads in a number of cities across the country. It seems that many post roommate wanted and similar ads requesting and stating race preferences. Naturally someone with too much time on their hands saw an opportunity to "protect" us by suing Craiglist. Other online companies such as Google, Amazon.com and Yahoo are signing on as friends of Craiglist in this suit. In the past, online service providers were not held liable for online posts made by subscribers. The individual posting is responsible. For Craiglist to manually approve each ad would make the service impossible or highly expensive. Naturally this could impact Google and others signing on as they show information from other sites. Would they also be liable for what is displayed in search results? Who said common sense and the law go together? Certainly weren't me. Law.com - Online Peers Stand Up for Craigslist in Lawsuit

As net neutrality fails, Senator threatens to block legislation without it
Published by Picturesque on at 8:55 AM.
Can Congress pass a bill that limits what we can view via the Internet? Does this sound like the China policy of limiting what people can search for on Google? Here's an update on "Net Neutrality" where Sen. Wyden is threatening to filibuster any attempts to not provide "unfettered, unlimited and free access to any site..."
