"PageRank assigns a reputation score to the URL where content is published. This makes it a great fit for content that stays put in one location. However, evolving content distribution via blogs, RSS, guest columns, and syndication are a challenge for PageRank. Tweets, retweets, micropublishing, ratings, and comments - even bigger problems. The solution lies in associating reputation with the identity of the author - a PageRank for People." - Leo Laporte from Bookmarklet

But isnt the problem then that all you see and hear is from the "big guys" who are already established, as defined by "in" players who by nature will want to be in the "big guys" good books? We're right back in the landscape of television, where the barrier of entry for new players is high, opinion and value is centrally defined... and we get lower quality and service as none of them tries very hard... - Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)

“Gone are the cheery promises of earlier city leaders about how Detroit is on the way back. How some new project downtown is surely just the first sign of a renaissance afoot. How things are not so bad. Instead, Dave Bing, Detroit’s mayor of five months, delivers grim news by the day.” - Anthony Citrano from Bookmarklet

From far away, with limited information, the decline of Detroit makes me very sad. It and New Orleans are hollowing out. ... I suppose that's already happened to places like Buffalo, but still. - Andrew C from Android

Has since months ago. I vaguely recall someone on the ff feedback room complaining about being falsely identified as an iPhone user, and then shortly after, it was fixed. - Andrew C from Android

"The tech press is full of people who want to tell you how completely awesome life is going to be when everything moves to 'the cloud' — that is, when all your important storage, processing and other needs are handled by vast, professionally managed data-centers. Here's something you won't see mentioned, though: the main attraction of the cloud to investors and entrepreneurs is the idea of making money from you, on a recurring, perpetual basis, for something you currently get for a flat rate or for free without having to give up the money or privacy that cloud companies hope to leverage into fortunes." - minus-one

Funny enough, I'd use a Sony Ericsson more than I would an iPhone. And I am serious too. - Dean Michael Berris

I've had one since last December and use it daily. I would like more formats supported like ogg, but that's a minor bit of nit-picking on my part. And I agree it's dead simple and easy to load stuff on to matter were I am or the OS I'm using. - Bluesun 2600

"We are a group of dedicated animal lovers, and atheists. Each Eternal Earth-Bound Pet representative is a confirmed atheist, and as such will still be here on Earth after you've received your reward. ... For $110.00 we will guarantee that should the Rapture occur within ten (10) years of receipt of payment, one pet per residence will be saved. Each additional pet at your residence will be saved for an additional $15.00 fee. A small price to pay for your peace of mind and the health and safety of your four legged friends." - Leo Laporte from Bookmarklet

Hahahaha this is pure genius! - Hector

“Back in April, when the debate over torture was roaring, Jon Stewart invited Cliff May, a national-security hawk and former spokesman for the Republican Party, to come on The Daily Show and defend waterboarding. May was hesitant. He thought Stewart would paint him as a crazy extremist. The audience would jeer. It would be a disaster.” - Anthony Citrano from Bookmarklet

He keeps trying to hold onto the "comedian" label, but Stewart is consistently one of the best journalists around by adhering to very simple principals: do your research, and have real discussions on the issues. The fact that he is funny and charming helps, but at the core, he is better at informing his audience than the official "newscasters." - Jennifer Dittrich

Of course, the version I uploaded does not include my own entries but instead has the iPhone entry as an example. My local copy uses "from:lph" so I can see my entries and add comments quickly. (e.g., this comment is added through steroidfeed.html and not through the site. - LPH™ and his dog P™

Really appreciated man, one of the best things for my following attitude - Amiroo ™

Hell, ya! Who is that? - Marcus Schroefel

ZOMG a small vericose vein! She is a spent hideous hosebeast well past her time! - Matthew DeVries

She ain't my personal flavor, but I like the getup. - Anthony Citrano

“The existence of such a language has been accepted by linguists for over a century, and there have been many attempts at reconstruction...” - Anthony Citrano from Bookmarklet

I may actually begin to care if that happens. Keep us posted. :D - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

I actually hope they have Weird Al come up and say a few things. - Akiva Moskovitz

“The estimated $65 billion involved in Madoff’s flimflam is dwarfed by the more than $2.5 trillion paid so far by American taxpayers to bail out those masters of Wall Street’s universe. A.I.G. alone has already left us on the hook for $180 billion. It’s hard for those who didn’t have money with Madoff to get worked up about him when so many of the era’s real culprits have slipped away scot-free.” - Anthony Citrano from Bookmarklet

“To beat out the implementation of new regulations, banks are rapidly jacking up checking-account charges and credit card fees, even for those who have paid their bills on time... that would include the too-big-to-fail Citigroup, which has so far received $45 billion in taxpayers’ money, along with guarantees on $300 billion in toxic assets, to mitigate its reckless risk-taking during the reign of such obscenely rewarded (and now departed) executives ...” - Anthony Citrano

“...while taxpayers will soon own some 34 percent of Citi, it is not only increasing our credit card interest rates (to nearly 30 percent in some cases) but raising its own base salaries (by 50 percent) to work around Washington’s new restrictions on bonuses. New rules may come and go, but loopholes remain eternal.” - Anthony Citrano
