Well, IMified has taken bot to a next level.. I even created a customized option to check my google calendar appointments for today (a quick schedule for today) by interacting with bot! Not sure, if they have one for Pownce.. - Jigar Mehta from bTT

New Twhirl revealed by Loic Le Meur http://m.kyte.tv/ch...
New Twhirl revealed by Loic Le Meur http://www.kyte.tv/ch/6118/326147
cool. i need to retweet this on my twitter book account. Twhirl is getting better - Rodney Rumford
Trying it out again. They need to enable searches to be pulled into other windows or something. One thing I love about PeopleBrowsr is being able to see everything side by side. If I could have this option with twhirl I would use it more often. - Brandon Titus from twhirl
Some good new features. They really have thought about this. - Pete Gilbert from twhirl
Allready tried it out and I love it! I highly recomend Twirl as your Twitter and Seesmic client - Spyros Papaspyropoulos from twhirl
Twhirl is looking good I like the linked comments, tweetdeck layout better though wish Twhirl would have a way of connecting the windows so they all move together like ImgBurn - David from twhirl
I like the new features .... - Live Crunch Blog from twhirl
I couldn't remember why I stopped using thwirl to begin with, and now I remember. It's addicting. With the new features, i fear for the worst. - adam garrett from twhirl
Is Ping.fm in the preview release? - Kevin Whalen from twhirl
I haven't got it to work yet :( 32bit Vista. It gets installed but when I try to start it the process starts but nothing "pops up". It runs in the background but it doesn't show. Have tried to uninstall twhirl and air, and the install it again, rebooted the computer several times, but still the same :( - Qbat
Works fine on my machine, seesmic posting and all. :-) - Richard A.
How is this conceptually different than Digsby? - Patrick Moorhead
Awesome! I had stopped using Twhirl but it might be time to try it out again. - Martha
good ol' loic. :P i dont like twhirl with FF (nothing to do with the program, just prefer the webpage) but that's handy. - Terry O'Fee
cool! sorry for reply late & thank you for following me on twitter.i'll try to continually tweet valuable info. for you. have a nice day! regards, - Yasuyuki Goto
Is this video available for download by any chance? I had loaded the Kyte video and started watching it, did something else, and came back to find it reloading/stalled - Paul Jacobson from twhirl
Do you actually use twhirl for FF? - Tim Wright from twhirl
Its getting better release by release - BCK from twhirl
thanks for this. am embarrassed to admit that, thanks to this video, i JUST NOW realized I could access friendfeed through my twhirl client. maybe I'll finally start conversing more here (instead of just posting). THANKS! - amzam from twhirl
Does anyone have it yet. I heard monday but I saw somewhere that someone already had the new twhirl. - Sweyn Venderbush
Maybe someone here has some input for the startup/dissappearing problem many people have with twhirl. Go to this site and see if you can help us: http://getsatisfaction.com/seesmic... - Qbat
I just got it and am using it right now... - Tim Wright from twhirl
@sweyn I installed it a short while ago. I am still exploring the new functionality and enjoy the saved searches and Seesmic improvements the most. - Paul Jacobson from twhirl
just checking it and AND replying in it now - Jonathan Greene from twhirl
Did you get it from the email? I haven't gotten mine yet. - Sweyn Venderbush
The Ping.fm integration in Twhirl is pretty powerful. Need to figure out the echo it may cause. - Kevin Whalen from twhirl
Hooray, I got the download link! - Sweyn Venderbush from twhirl
Finally found the download link in my Gmail's spam folder. That was a bit frustrating. ;-) - Dan Dashnaw from twhirl
I have gmail too but it didn't end up in my spam folder.. - Qbat
It seems that the ping.fm integration doesn't work anymore - Jean-François Amadei from twhirl
Don't mean to seem dense, but what version is this in the video? I have 0.8.7 but can't find a newer one on the twhirl.org site... - Craig Eddy
I wish it had the same option to create a group of people you are following like tweetdeck has. - americanm from twhirl
OK, so I'm trying out the new Twhirl. It's come a LONG way since I used it last. WOW! When will it be possible to POST videos to Seesmic via Twhirl? That would be great to have. - Lisha Sterling from twhirl
Qbat: I have 32 bit Vista Ultimate and working fine so far. - Patrick Moorhead from twhirl
Wow new Twhirl looks killer! - Drew Lucas from twhirl
Wow, Twhirl can be addictive. - Kevin Whalen from twhirl
I still can't abide by the FriendFeed window in twhirl. It almost gives me a head ache for some reason. Too much info/text on one window perhaps. Not sure what it is exactly. But definitely digging the ping.fm integration and the new seesmic stuff. Also, the big "Exit Twhirl" button on the Accounts dialog, placed right where one would normally find the "OK/Cancel" buttons to close the dialog, has bitten me almost every time I've been to the Accounts dialog. - Craig Eddy
Amazing, but on a 15' screen, it implies to have 3 Twhirl windows over the web browser. Not very convenient, especially for FF :( - Jérôme Flipo
Everything I have ever written on Friendfeed has been from Twhirl. Baffles me why some would prefer the site. New Twhirl features look killer, but I'd be using it anyway because of the Friendfeed integration. - Todd Brunner from twhirl
Good news, Linux users! The new twhirl not only works on linux, it even records video properly for sending to Seesmic. Awesome. - Lisha Sterling from twhirl
looks great, will be interesting to try it out and see if it can get back into the fight against tweetdeck - Peter Efland
thank you all for your good comments and Robert again for making the video! - Loic Le Meur
Yes.. thanx to RObert and Loic =) can't wait for my twhirl to work =) it looks really great and I hear only positive things about it.! - Qbat
The new Twhirl is great, and might replace TweetDeck for me now. - Josh from twhirl
The new Twhirl still has the same old bugs. :-( - Kol Tregaskes
does it still take up as much memory as firefox? if so, no go. - Richard Lawler
My problem with twhirl not starting is now fixed. Solution to my problem can you find here: http://getsatisfaction.com/seesmic... - Qbat
video chopped and then crashed browser... doh - mikepk
I wonder if the two biggiest bugs are fixed. 1, that you can only see a few recent tweets everytime you restart Twhirl & and if you click on someone who has their profile on private, then it prompts you to log in again. - PC Easy from twhirl
cant wait for it to be released. like very much the short searches - natadd from twhirl
Is this released yet? - Jigar Mehta

is it an 8830 model? - mirko
@Simon how do you know? Maybe he's texting? - Steve Rubel
"OMG! Guess where I'm writing this from lol!" - Jemm

Mona, if we find the guy who has one, you distract him with your dazzling good looks I will hit him with a chair and then we share it for a while until I get jealous and have to hit you with chair and run off with my Android mistress. - Cody Heitschmidt
Holy shit I got carried away in that last comment sorry.... - Cody Heitschmidt
LOL Cody, don't worry, we don't have to resort to violence! I'll just ask him to read the Windows 7 installation manual to me which'll put him to sleep! - Mona Nomura from IM
Damn, you always have a better plan!!! - Cody Heitschmidt

This is just a protype but VoIP right out of the box is appealing. Since I have such terrible service, I'm forcing all of my friends to sign up with Skype LOL - Mona Nomura
Damn, but that IS HOT! Mona, you are definitely getting my gadget lust going, this morning. 8O - Helen Sventitsky
I might actually buy this. Very intriquing. - Jason Shultz from twhirl
Best part: you could see any kind of app on this, it's not sharing a closed application market with a cell phone (like the iPod touch and the iPhone), so you won't have someone denying an app if it isn't in the best interest of the company or wireless provider. - Shawn Farner
Looks very tempting. I've got a port of android running on my N800 which works pretty well, apart from the on-screen keyboard which is so buggy it's unusable (not sure if that's just because of the port). Fingers cross for a sub £200 price in the UK. - Russ
Resistive touchscreen = FAIL. And touchscreen != "tablet." - Karim
Ok then, so what would you have headlined it Karim? - Mona Nomura from IM
Uh, how about "Cheap-Ass iPod Touch Knockoff With Screen That Requires Really Hard Press, Minus Ability to Sync Music to PC, Possibly $149 If Everything Works Out As Planned?" :-D - Karim
hahahhahahahhahahha - Mona Nomura
Pretty nice form factor - tony
It's a prototype, Karim :-P You're not going to find this in the store tomorrow. Some companies go to these shows with a video and a device that doesn't even work. - Shawn Farner
I see your point though. "Android tablet $149" much better linkbait :-D - Karim
;) And I'm glad I asked for you to re-title. You never fail to crack me up. Shawn - have you noticed a lot of companies are making their products available right away? That sort of "demo" or "prototype will be available JUST in time for Christmas!" mentality is evolving, imho. - Mona Nomura from IM

Has anyone scrolled down to the see the last "hole"? - Brian Sullivan
lol, yeah - i was gonna put it in here but the others were too impressive - Zee.
can someone please explain the hole in the water? how/why does that occur? - Zee.
There is no way I could swim/sail/boat over that blue hole. No way in Hell. - Timothy Griffin
They're created by water soaking through limestone fractures in the surface, Zee....a looooong time ago. http://www.blueholes.org has good information on them. - Candace
and I thought this was about Golf... - Victor Ryden
haha Victor - Zee.
That last hole looks like water was seeping somewhere more recently. - Ernie Oporto
Candace, thank you - that is seriously interesting & the pictures on that site...incredible. - Zee.
those are some sweet looking holes. - ::Kristen::
a line you don't hear every day... - Zee.
These are beautiful. Do I have a dirty mind for thinking the title is full of innuendo? - Sparky
the one in Bisbee, Arizona is a pretty big one too - Jeff Quinton
That was a great ending! - Michael Fidler from twhirl
Here's the Wiki on the second pic, the Great Blue Hole of Belize, The hole is circular in shape, over 1,000 feet across and 400 feet deep. It was formed as a limestone cave system during the last ice age when sea levels were much lower. As the ocean began to rise again the caves flooded, and the roof collapsed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Christopher Harley
sweet Christopher, cheers - Zee.
nice natural uhmm.. holes! =D - Anjo Miranda from twhirl
i'm glad people seem to agree on the wonder of holes, of all shapes & sizes. - Zee.
The one on the left above is the "Glory Hole" at Lake Hennessey (Lake Berryessa) in Napa... that thing is really amazing, but it rarely looks like that! Right now, it's a tower sticking up 20' above the water surface because the lake is so low... - Clay Newton

boycotting non-geeks that don't know what a browser is? ;) - Cheryl Allin from twhirl
Or people who want a feature added / taken away. "But it's ONLY one (text) box!" - Mona Nomura
LOL now that's a sign... - Cecil Sandus
Just Photoshop it - and make it animated! <evilgrin> - Cheryl Allin from twhirl

Today he's walking, tomorrow he's on FriendFeed. Just wait. - Andrew Feinberg
I just watched the video. Those were his FIRST steps? He took over 20 steps unsupported, thats quite a debut! - DGentry
Will Colbert take credit? - Ontario Emperor from fftogo

Google reignites the browser war. This is a BIG deal. http://blogoscoped.com/archive... -- can't wait to try it out.
Well, I could say they're just skinning Webkit and adding some more on top. Just like Avant 'extended' the IE engine. I don't see how this could be a big deal. - Yuvi
Doesn't excite me much. At least now. - David Risley
very interesting. - Lindsay is in 20-ten
I kept hearing about a gBrowser from AlbinoBlackSheep.com - Outsanity
Please, please, not ANOTHER browser to test sites against :( OK, it's Webkit, but that V8 is damn new :( OMG - Claudio Cicali ♋
Yuvi - How could it NOT be a big deal? This is Google we're talking about here. - Steve Isaacs
@Steve - in the same way Picasa isn't? I mean, if it were a brand new rendering engine, from the ground up, I'll fight to be the first to say WOW. Webkit derivative? Meh. - Yuvi
By itself perhaps not going to add drmatically to what is already in the market, but imagine if Google puts not only Gears and Webkit, but also plugs into the browser some/most of its other online tools such as text editors, calendars, reader, translator, etc. All in one - all open source. Wouldnt that be cool? - Hayk H.
IMHO, Chrome will have to be sufficiently different and better than IE, FF, and whatever else to gain traction. Otherwise, why would any mainstream user bother to change? - Mark Dykeman
If google did't really and did it well then say bye to Microsoft - Ahmed Ramy Zaky from twhirl
@Ahmed - Absolutely! If we get a better Browser than IE Microsoft is doomed! </sarcasm> - Yuvi
Until large corporations dump Windows, Office and software en masse, Microsoft isn't going anywhere, regardless of how good or useful Chrome is. Why? Because cloud computing puts too much stuff outside of the corporation's firewall and direct control. It's just against the grain of the culture. Let me put this another way: how much of Google's staggering array and collection of documents, generated by Google for Google, are really out in the cloud? I'm willing to bet that an awful lot of it isn't. - Mark Dykeman
Knol, Chrome. Are these signs of Google losing its 'authenticity' touch, becoming a follower (imitator) rather than a leader? - Yung-Hui Lim
Mark, you are right. Google is not cut to make corporate scale apps. It does fun stuff, free stuff. One of the top Googlers - forgot his name - who left Microsoft for Google and spent there a year, went back to Microsoft . In his blog he told how there are probs in quality and looks and style are given more thought and attention than reliability and functionality. But if Google puts a huge amount of those "useless" apps under one roof and makes a good promo, maybe Chrome will gain some ground. only some. - Hayk H.
I'm not all that impressed yet but I'm reserving all of my incredibly influential opinions until I mess with it myself. - Akiva Moskovitz
I will say that Chrome is an interesting development, if only because it gives us some ideas at what Google's management team is thinking about and where they want to do. I just think that there has to be a HUGE value in the new tool before most people will change. It would be neat if somehow Google could make a browser that didn't need to be installed on a PC, but I have no idea how you'd do that. - Mark Dykeman
I predicted Google Chrome (GBrowser) 3 years ago - http://schlerplotti.typepad.com/squirre... - Mike Reynolds
I guess nobody remembers 2005 when everyone fell all over themselves because Google was doing some kind of earth-shattering deal with Sun that was going to destroy Microsoft and end the world as we know it. If Google announced they were going to make ice cream, people would be all, OMG! Google ice cream! It's going to be the best ice cream ever! Even though it will only be available in... more... - Karim
it's definitely a a big deal for kiosk or International travel, now I'd be be able to bypass proxies/GreatFireWalls, but on the corporate side of life...it creates a hurdle...how to block? people should be working, not bypassing the corporate filtering. - clarke thomas
+1 Karim!!! - you know Google ice cream may not be that bad... I could see Ben & Jerry getting in on that action. - ChangeForge | Ken Stewart from twhirl
Tomorrow is chrome download day! Firefox is buggy! - Ron
It was pretty clear that Google was up to something once they started hiring Mozilla engineers. I mean, Google didn't hire people like Ben Goodger just to write Firefox extensions. - Paul Grav
I'm not sure it's a huge deal either. V8 seems to compare to Squirrelfish which was announced in the beginning of June. They are splitting things into separate processes which might make things more resistant when stuff crashes. I'm not sure I buy all their arguments from the comic. You might be able to see which pieces of the browser are using memory, but it will be hard to track total usage. I don't understand why they can't launch mac and linux at the same time to grab the momentum. - Charles
www.google.com/chrome remains dark at this time. - Robert Linthicum
@Robert, Google loves that strategy of building suspense. They always "leak" some information or let the online community buzz for some time - spinning all kinds of stories before launching their products. This mystical air and suspense building has to do with human psychology and it pays off well in all industries and especially when coming up with new products or services! Google always fully exploits this! - Hayk H.
If this means we can stop talking about Palin and about the iPhone I'm all for it! - Indio Apache from twhirl
The browser itself doesn't excite me. It seems ok, and when it is eventually released on the Mac, I'll certainly give it a try. What does excite me though, is the prospect of IE losing even more market share. - Paul Grav
I installed the IE beta today.It is interesting and a definite improvement, but I wasn't blown away by it. Fortunately, it locked up, and I had to remove it. - Michael Fidler
Paul: Exactly. - Ron
I was just looking at a couple of large multi touch monitors. If this is where monitors are going, the browser that works best in that environment will have a leg up on their competition. Side Note: I was just wondering if you are still thinking about doing a follow piece with the brilliant storytelling photographer(can't remember his name), it was mesmerizing! - Michael Fidler
Webapps that can launch "in their own streamlined window." Could this include AIR-like Twitter tools? Will Google Docs start to feel more like a real alternative to MS Office for non-power users? - Kevin Sablan
I'm wondering if this means that, once released on the Mac, Chrome will not be the sort of browser that chokes when the Flash player crashes. - Paul Grav
Wouldn't a browser also close-the-loop for Google in terms of browsing behavior metrics if they're able to get a representative market share? - Jim McCusker
I like it. Even if it is Webkit with something on top, at least I can just install it and use it. Seems extremely fast so far. - ComicList
It's fast, but it wouldn't cooperate when I tried to post to my Myspace blog. But then again, it is a beta. - ComicList
Louis Gray
Google released news of Chrome on Labor Day. Remember they released news of GMail on April Fool's. They sure know how to fill a news hole.
I'm guessing Google meant to release this tomorrow. I'd never heard of a modern tech company announcing a significant product via snail mail, but my guess is that if Phillip was in the USA instead of Germany he wouldn't have gotten the scoop on the rest of the tech world, as his copy of McCloud's comic would be waiting until after Labor Day like everyone else. - Kevin Fox
Kevin, that's an interesting, and likely take. On the flip side, wouldn't we have heard from other tech news sources who said they knew but were waiting until Tuesday? Given I haven't heard that, I have to assume the leak/scoop to Google Blogoscoped was intentional. - Louis Gray
Looks like you were right Kevin: http://smccloud.livejournal.com/15488... - Benjamin Golub
Another embargo broken anyone? - Roger Kondrat
"We're releasing this beta for Windows to start the broader discussion and hear from you as quickly as possible. We're hard at work building versions for Mac and Linux too" - Benjamin Golub
Roger, no embargo was broken by Philipp. He just got a comic book through the post and posted about it. - Tony Ruscoe
Yay! "We will be launching the beta version of Google Chrome tomorrow in more than 100 countries.", "So check in again tomorrow to try Google Chrome for yourself. We'll post an update here as soon as it's ready." - Majento
Sigh. Mac and Linux go last again. Quasi-fail. - Louis Gray
i wonder if it will rival the awesomeness i have in flock. - Admiral Anika
Quasi-fail, Louis? Try COMPLETE fail. Consider that they're using WebKit as the base - and there are plenty of Mac engineers at Google. Nothing would have pushed Safari 4.0 out the door (in beta or final stages) quicker than a Mac version of Chrome (interesting choice of brand, considering how heavily it's associated with Mozilla's XUL). - l0ckergn0me
I don't think its a complete fail to be Windows-only at launch: their main target is presumably IE, by (eventually) bundling Chrome into the Google Pack that is pre-installed on lots of PCs. IEs 70% browser market share is still large enough to be very threatening to Google, as the Microsoft anti-trust prohibitions expire over the next few years. - DGentry

Basement of hate. This is a picture of the Berlin Wall and the garage wall underneath the building that held the Nazi headquarters. When you visit this site you can feel the hate. It's something I can't describe. The pictures on the wall and stories show how hate built.
IMG_3484.JPG
Oh yeah... there is that gut wrenching feeling again... I really don't like that place - Johnny Worthington
The history that took place on this site is stunning. Something I've always wanted to visit to understand more. The hate built starting with everyday words by everyday people, grew into little stupid laws that codified that hate, then moved to bigger actions. Only time to stop it? When it's simple words. Something I need to be reminded. Who says words don't matter? Not these walls. - Robert Scoble
Words are our most powerful technology. - Tad
:'( +++Tad - Anna Haro
Berlin is a very sobering place to visit. So much to see but so little of it is due to a happy past. - CJPhoto
I can't like this. Not even for bookmarking. What angers me is that people forget this lesson of history, and atrocities are repeated every day. - Mo Kargas
Oh wow, Robert. Thank you SO much for sharing this, and your words. It blew me away... I love technology - Mona Nomura
Mo: I understand that. There's no love in this building, that's for sure. By the way, this is my first test of FriendFeed's new photo upload. Worked great! Love how the photo shows up on my blog's sidebar too http://scobleizer.com - Robert Scoble
I still have a tough time watching the documentaries. The pics are important. - Charlie Anzman
Yeah, the new FF image handling is great. And that's a powerful picture. - Chris Baskind
But I rather upload the photo to Flickr to keep it in my photo library and let Flickr update FriendFeed, FaceBook, etc. Not sure I see the benefit of uploading the photo to FriendFeed. - Julio F ~ @SocialJulio
Liking to show my "dislike" - Jesse Stay
Robert. You are right about the 'little stupid laws'. That is why the versions currently being passed in Italy against the Roma are so worrying. - mattpovey
There's a lot of really emotionally powerful stuff like this in Germany. If you're travelling about a bit, make sure you take the chance to go to Dachau, near Munich, too. - Mark Ng
Mark, indeed. Dachau is the one that really brought it home for me. The stark and sterile nature of the whole place really demonstrated how much of a systematic process this was. I was there in winter and I stood in the parade ground for about half an hour just to try and get a glimpse of what it was like. I couldn't hack it. Knowing that hundreds of people stood there for hours on end chilled me more than the conditions... - Johnny Worthington
Can I also note that Germany is a great place with wonderful poeple... It is one of my favourite countries. Beer Halls = All sorts of drunken win. While there is no relation to this topic, I think it is not said enough :) - Johnny Worthington
My mom grew up in Germany, so I agree. - Robert Scoble
We still have chips of the wall from that exact spot, hacked by my 6-yr-old daughter with a claw hammer one weekend after the Wall fell open. - Bernie Goldbach
@john it was the ovens that did it for me. But I second your note about great place, wonderful people. The Germans are some of the best people in the world. - Mark Ng from twhirl
A good friend of mine visited some of the Nazi places, and he described feeling sick at his stomach as soon as he was getting close to them. I agree with Gregory, the "energy" is real, it just doesn't have mass or volume so it is harder to quantify. - Charlene Kingston
Completely agree... when I visited Auschwitz in Poland (years ago), it was not the horrific pictures, nor the "information" I had about the place but this gut feeling that overwhelms you once you set foot on those premises... Writing this I can still feel it. - Philippe Borremans
I was in Berlin in Feb and saw the Topography of Terror.There is a bad vibe there.However I think this (from a trip in Poland was worse and much more disturbing).http://inao.blogspot.com/2006... and the fact that the Nazis then sold the hair.http://inao.blogspot.com/2006... - Ina
No need to go to Munich for Dachau; there's Sachsenhausen right outside Berlin. Before the Ostblock fell, it was an even more interesting exhibit for some slight revisionism to fit the communist POV. It's since been 'fixed'. You get a pretty good (authentic, real) vibe there like at Dachau or any of the others more complete/preserved camps, imo. - abacab
You're probably not going to able to see it on this trip but the Kehlsteinhaus (Hitler's retareat in the German Alps) is a must-see - Steven Cains
here are my photos from dachau - http://flickr.com/photos... - it's near munich and worth the trip - as you walk down the long road to inside the compound, you can feel the screams - i thought i wouldn't be emotional there, but i was. there were a lot of people sitting on the benches crying - Allen Stern
Never forget! - ※Fu※
The deepest human sadness in my life was visiting Dachau, concentration camp in Germany when I was a boy. - brittenhouse
Very powerful picture and description Scoble. Thanks for sharing this. - Corvida
Interesting. I have noticed the "feeling" of places and situations before (never like this). The recent case was when I visited the great Buddha shrine at Kamakura, in Japan. As I approached the statue I was overcome by this great sense of sadness and compassion. The other odd thing was that on returning from the same trip, as soon as we were in the departure lounge of Northwest at... more... - Dennis E. Hamilton
I went through Checkpoint Charlie when the wall was up and I was scared spitless when I I had to pass the guards. They also took all my western money and issued me useless East German marks that I couldn't spend OR re-exchange on the way out of East Berin. - Francine Hardaway

1 terabyte external hard drive at Best Buy for $180. That's hot.

Holy crap! I paid $120 for a 160GB drive about a month ago. - Chris Dahl
that IS insane. I can't read, "that's hot" without hearing Paris Hilton's voice, btw - or was that intentional? - Laura Norvig

Question: Has anyone located feeds to (1) complete diving competitions (2) complete gymnastics competitions. I'm looking for recordings of ALL competitors qualifying and finals. It's a shame that the only time most of the US public gets to see these beautiful non-headliners (Rommel & Ganna) is in still photos because NBC does SOOO much commentary. I prefer some foreign video feeds but haven't looked yet. Thanks! - Mitchell Tsai

JPG Magazine: Photos: "Chanukah on Union Square" by Thomas Hawk
JPG Magazine announced their next issue themes earlier today. I submitted this photo for the upcoming "Faith" theme. It's a photo I took of Rabbi Josef Langer conducting a Chanukah ceremony in Union Square. There are 40 days left for you to contribute your own "faith" photos for consideration as well as their other two themes "Nighttime" and "Delectable." - Thomas Hawk from Bookmarklet
I recommend everyone get published in JPG Magazine. It's very rewarding. - Dave Roth
You got my "yeah" - Justin Korn

Stephen, yes, I'm sure that they would accept cropped photos. Submitted photo originals have to be less than 10mb though. - Thomas Hawk
this is so beautiful! i will definitely get over to give it my vote! - carlotta fancypants
What is the belief system behind the great photo -- the same as Ari Fleischer's? - Sean McBride
Great job, Thomas. Enver! Stirring up the Doctor's Plot again? - Oldengrey (Jay)
Ok - the belief system = Chabad-Lubavitch -- pro Likud, pro Benjamin Netanyahu, pro Joseph Lieberman, pro neoconservatives, pro Christian ZIonism, pro Bush 43, pro Iraq War, pro Iran War, pro Greater Israel, pro West Bank settlements, etc. (Please correct me if I am wrong.) And, yes, Ari Fleischer, Bush 43's former press secretary, is a member. Fleischer is now a key player in Sheldon Adelson's Freedom's Watch. - Sean McBride
