It also appears to work for sites that don't publish an OpenSearch spec. I think it does something smart to figure out where your result endpoint is and what your query parameter is. - Bill Strathearn

You can also add one manually, just use the url and "%s" (minus quotes) where the query goes, and it adds "search+term+goes+here" if your search is "search term goes here" - Nathan Snyder

Glympse definitely adds something to the service. I would like to see customization of public notification based on geography - If you don't want to advertise the location of your home, shade off a portion of the map that includes Half Moon Bay. Add to this auto-tweets when just going online and offline ("Robert has just shown up on Tasman Drive in Milpitas" | "Robert is off the grid") and it starts to get very useful. - jcunwired

Very cool. I like that the service uses no traditional accounts (to send or receive), so it's very simple to use and easy to share. So like if I went hiking, I could post the glimpse url to FriendFeed for all to watch my progress. - Daniel Sims

I just wrote a post talking about this and explaining exactly why I believe the "technical issue" explanation Biz threw up today. You can read it here: http://briantroy.com/blog... - Brian Roy from FriendFeed MT Plugin

"High-functioning alcoholics are highly skilled at leading double lives, Ms. Benton wrote. They appear to the outside world to be managing life well and defy the alcoholic stereotype by being fashionable, physically attractive, even elegant. They also tend to hide their excessive consumption by drinking alone or sneaking alcohol before or after a social event, and disguising or excusing the odor of alcohol on their breath. High-functioning alcoholics also may not be physically addicted to alcohol, abstaining for days or weeks without suffering withdrawal symptoms. But they are psychologically dependent on alcohol, often focused on when they can drink again and convinced that they need to drink in certain settings. They are also likely to experience blackouts, remembering nothing the next day about a night of heavy drinking, with only a hangover as evidence of their abusive behavior." - Thomas Hawk from Bookmarklet

I used to work for a functioning alcoholic. The guy was a Senior Exec of a major bank with thousands of people reporting into him and he'd get blotto drunk every night, 2, 3, even 4 bottles of wine. Unfortunately it ended up killing him in his 50s. - Thomas Hawk

Well Marshall - you are a professional blogger - big difference! Plus you are in the top tier of writers online - hands down. - Rex

With blogs, readers now have the luxury of picking and choosing their reporters based on journalistic values. It not only gives the internet a competitive upper hand over newspapers, it creates a kind of free market system to journalists. If journalists want to succeed, the quality of journalism is a factor -- unless the reader is just looking for writers that agree with their views. I'm excited for the future of journalism. - Scott Loganbill
