I’ve played around with the Google personalized homepage for quite awhile now, but I’ve never really considered it a worthy replacement for everything I had setup in MyYahoo! for the past several years. Those days may be changing. I’ve spent some time customizing things on my Google page and I’m liking how things are coming together.
One thing that concerns me though, is there a limit to the number of pages I can have setup? It looks to be six from what I can tell.
$8.5 million! That’s what Digg.com got from some of their existing investors for some reason. No real details on some of the websites I’ve been reading about the infusion of cash on lately. One site mentioned “expansion into new markets”.
I think the Digg.com site is okay, I’m subscribed to their RSS Feed, but honestly, the quantity is just too overwhelming for me to really pay attention to it. The other thing I don’t like is that it’s easy to bloat the system if you’ve got enough friends in the right places.
Let me ask you this, if someone sends you a link and asks you to “Digg” something for them, do you read the entire story and then decide for yourself if it’s worth Digging, or do you just Digg it because your friend said so?
It’s this type of thing that makes me less interested in the actual effect of Digging something. If I’ve got time, I’ll peruse through the listing to see if something catches my eye, but many times on many days I just don’t have the time to hassle with it.
What about you?
Let me know about your Digging strategy in our new poll in the sidebar.
Noel over on Unplugged Living brought this site to my attention. It’s called 6% of Energy Efficiency and it’s an informational site focused on educating the population about how to conserve more energy. They’ve got an interested, 6-question quiz to see how much you know about energy conservation. Regretfully I missed two, but I think I read through the questions a little too fast. Excuses, excuses.
Energy efficiency is like an “insurance policy” against roller coaster energy prices. No matter the price of the energy we use – whether it’s wind, solar, biofuels, nuclear, gasoline, natural gas, electricity, heating oil, propane, or diesel – we can all have greater control over our energy bills and the shape of our world by using it wisely. All it takes to help us do that is “small steps” — developing energy-efficient habits or using energy-efficient products and technologies. It’s easy. The power is in our hands.
