I thought the NZ government were trying to slow the rate of Kiwi's coming into Australia as the numbers are not equal both ways. Now even more will come to the 'mainland' for an internet connection.

Congrats. You should link to more of your stories on FF, along with Google Reader it's the primary way I consume news these days.
- trextor
Trextor, everything from Inquisitr is here based on the RSS feed. Several people share stories from there as well using Google Reader. Most likely, you are just missing them due to traffic on FriendFeed.

Does anyone still use their local and/or public libraries?

I do.
- Michelle Martinez
Absolutely!
- josh neff, geek at large
Yes. I still use libraries.
- Rishabh Mishra (p248)
all the time
- RAPatton
lincoln center has the most amazing music/dance library. i totally nerd out there. not often, but when i do, it's on!
- Melissa Maskevich
Good question...I haven't been recently, but with recent economic downturn, I bet libraries start to get a lot more activity. Who doesn't want free resources like books, music, movies, etc?
- Pete Delucchi
yes
- CW™
Yes. That way I don't have to figure out how to pass the book along (or whether I should) when I'm done.
- Jeanine W.
from Alert Thingy
Aw, this thread warmed my little public librarian's heart. :)
- cecily
heck yeah!
- lisa-k
I couldn't even tell you where my local library was :-)
- Duncan Riley
Yes. Beside books - especially for my 5-yo - it has a reasonable selection of music CDs. I use this to try out music that I wouldn't buy straight away.
- Warren Butler
My library has a barrel for disposing of old batteries.
- Michael Markman
Haven't used one since I got out of college. There are very few good libraries in India. The British Library in Pune is the best there and that sucks bigtime. On a completely different note, I like keeping books - irrespective of whether I liked or disliked them; if I read it, I should keep it. But yes, I would like to *have* a library, by the time I am 50.
- Parth Awasthi
I use libraries quite often. Best place for research ever is a library with a quite room and a high speed internet connection. Every type or reference you could ever want right at your fingertips.
- Aaron Krug
Absolutely. I just got home from the library, in fact.
- Wendy
It's great for the public wifi and general hanging out. For research, not so much.
- Sid Yadav
Sid, it depends on what you're researching and whether you're in a large city. However, whatever you can't find in your own library can usually be borrowed from another library thanks to the magic of a little thing called "interlibrary loans". And don't forget - librarians are there to help you with research. We don't just keep people from talking loud. :)
- cecily
Yes.
- Nine
My local library allows you to "borrow" digital copies of books. They also have the cheapest DVD rentals in town ($1/ 3 days) And libraries are still the best and cheapest way to get a hold of a copy of an older, out of print, and hard to find book.
- April Russo (app103)
yes
- Arash
Yes. We do and a new study (look in my feed, it's there somewhere) shows that library usage is up and something like 83% of Americans have a library card.
- AJ Kohn
yes, from time to time I do. Since I started at the age of 4, I've always read a lot.
- Ian May
Absolutely not.
- MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
No need.:)
- Igor Poltavskiy
Yes indeed. If I see a new book I like, I check it out. If I like it, I return the library book and buy the book from B & N. That way I can read it at my own pace.
- Jimmy Walker
no. The classics are available for free, I can gets technical stuff off ebookshare.net and get my fiction from Amazon
- Ernie Oporto
Oh yes, are you mad? The library rocks!
- Bwana ☠
no, haven't been to any library for 8 years at least
- Kirill Bolgarov
Always. Can't afford to buy all the books my family wants to read.
- Carleen
Cool. I thought that the interest in libraries was waning. True that the FF deck is stacked with smart people. :-)

Smart Startup Advice: Don't Panic - Profit - http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008...
Fantastic advice. A "reality" check from the amount of BS VCs and some other bloggers have been spreading to scare entrepreneurs and make their VC business look like it's going to go through a period of scarcity -- driving down valuation and giving them leverage. It isn't. Infact, they're going to invest more, because the deals are going to be in their terms. My advice: take as little as possible in these down cycles, angel rounds at most, so the control stays with you and you never give them too much leverage. Then when YOU have the leverage, take as much as possible and keep it in the bank.

The Human Piece Of The Venture Equation - http://www.avc.com/a_vc...
Attitudes like these from investors is one of the reasons why I dread VC financing. They look at the company, their % stake, and the biggest potential exit possible for them. With or without you, it doesn't matter to them. You can do a great job getting it to mid-point, only to be found with a replacement when the company "goes big". This, frankly, sucks. That's why I have made a personal policy for my startup to look at high-amount VC funding as the last possible/survivial option, and if we do decide/manage to go through it at some point, I will make sure to only talk to the select few who don't have opinions like these and value the founder/CEO -- and his investment/time/emotional attachment to the company -- as opposed to just the company itself.

I do. Sometimes it takes you all day to find a particular site with a certain answer so searching for it again is out of the question.
- Ernie Oporto
I do too. Really helps to be able to find stuff no matter what computer I'm on.
- Larry Huffman
Avid Del.icio.us user here (see, I know where to put the dots).
- Nick Dynice
Me!!
- Susan Beebe
I use Del.icio.us pretty much every day. One of the first extensions I install on a new Firefox install.
- Robert DeBord
Oh, gosh, Louis, you subscribe to my FriendFeed so you know I use delicious like a fiend. I bookmark articles on subjects that I'm thinking of writing about, or that I have hard plans to write about. I don't read other people's delicious queues, though.
- Mitch Wagner
I couldn't live without an online bookmarking service. I use 2 regularly (del.icio.us and Diigo).
- Lindsay
It's all evernote all the time for me.
- Dean Terry
Is it my comp, or is Diigo down tonight? - welcoming Delicious 2.0 btw, just to stay on topic ;-)

delicious works well with me and my coworkers. we share alot of programming related links.

- Francine Hardaway
from twhirl
I bookmark like crazy ... that's how I track articles that I didn't write about
- Nick O'Neill
from twhirl
I find it much interesting to share someting, via Tumblr or FriendFeed or Twitter, than bookmark it. I think the social media movement is what left delicious behind -- they should have focused more on the social aspect than being just a personal bookmarks collection.
- Sid Yadav
I scan therefore I bookmark. When I write up briefings or reports, I review relevant bookmarks. Using Friendfeed opens up new information channels about what friends are bookmarking.
- Paul Roberts
I do. Bookmarking in the social cloud is convenient.
- Bill Sodeman
Don't know where I would be without the D
- michael sean wright
I have used del.icio.us for years and still find it useful (actually more these days than before) because it allows to find and share content you thought was useful.
- Daniel Schildt
I do. I am also planning a mobile app using delicious, may be I am crazy or old fashioned but I find bookmarking pretty usefull.
- Arturo Servin
Yep!! still using it! heres my search order.. google.. delicious.. google desktop..
- Jez Arnold
At first I would have answered "I do" too, but come to think of it, I haven't bookmarked much new stuff for a while. But it's still great to have all your favorite websites/services at hand anywhere.
- Rubin Sfadj
I still do, a lot! I use it to track articles, blog posts and other stuff throughout the day, because most of the times I can't search my way back to something I've seen, and I've tried that quite often. Search something on 1000 bookmarks on delicious, or other alike, is much different than searching the WHOLE internet.
- João Almeida
I have at least 2691 bookmarks in my Delicious account (of them, 2510 are public and 181 are private).
- Daniel Schildt
And in FriendFeed, "Like" is like "Add as bookmark".
- Daniel Schildt
@Daniel Schildt: "Like" is kind of a real bookmark, because i doubt anyone will check the "Likes" older than a few days
- João Almeida
I've got over 5000 bookmarks and consider del.icio.us the most important web2.0 tool out there. I could have never learned what I learned without del.icio.us. I even got accustomed to writing the name with dots. :)
- Meryn Stol
too many booksmarks to start, so not spending time describing them
- clarke thomas
Couldn't get along without it.
- Nick
don't really like the new delicious, but will definitely continue using it, it's probably the most important web2 tool for my daily work, could'nt live without it.
- Fabrice Epelboin
from twhirl
I do not use it - between FF & Google Reader, I'm good. Does it offer something FF & GR does not?
- R. Ferguson
Ruth: Yes, thinking. - (later added) Ok that was not a nice comment. Let's say it's good to interact with the content you're reading: Write about it or tag it. Tagging can be easier than writing though, which is why I tag.
- Meryn Stol
For some reason or the other I never got used to Delicious. There was always a Furl or a MyWeb or a Diigo that I found more useful. Why should I save just the URL when I can save the searchable snapshot of the whole page.
