After reading this post I’ve decided to try MyBlogLog. It’s been less than a day and I already absolutely love it. Users, comments, communities, and, above all, real time statistics – great job! If you have no idea of what I am talking about, here is a really nice definition of MyBlogLog:
In a way, I feel as if this is bringing the MySpace / LiveJournal type of social networking to regular blogs like ours. Definitely much needed since the current way we see one another is generally through conversations based on comments and trackbacks.

In the meantime, I think, I’ll be paying for the service. There’s no way I can survive without it now, knowing that it’s out there and that it costs only $25 USD per year. Can you?

Official Google Blog has this post titled How to move Ramses II:
Turns out some smart engineers work for the transportation contractor: they used Google Earth to plan the route, made the decision to move the 3200 year-old statue — and will do so this Friday, August 25, 2006. Walkways, cables, fences and road dividers are being brought down to make way! Trials and tests have been done to ensure the roads can handle the load, and now Ramses II will embark on what is most probably his last journey.
This is a good chance to learn something about Egyptian history and culture too. Here’s a quote from Wikipedia page about Ramses II:
It is said that there are more statues of him in existence than of any other Egyptian pharaoh, not surprising as he was the second-longest-reigning Pharaoh by many years (second to Pepi II).
Davig brings up an interesting discussion in his post Are Personal Blogs too Personal?. There are as many opinions on this as there are people in the blogosphere. And maybe even more, as some people change their opinions once in a while.
Why does the whole world need to know he activities and tasks that I take on?
My current thoughts on this issue go along the lines of – it’s not the activities and tasks that matter, but person’s attitudes towards them. In other words, of course, I don’t care one bit about someone going to a club last Friday and getting drunk into oblivion. It’s not what I am looking for in that post. What I am interested in are person’s feelings and thoughts on the subject. Those help me see the world via other people’s eyes. I start noticing things that I’ve never noticed before. I think more. I share my thoughts and feelings. And hopefully, it does good somewhere else. And that’s the beauty of the blogosphere. Not the activities or tasks that people take on.
