POPSLifestreaming sites can organize Web lives
Friendfeed can gather updates from dozens of social Web sites, making it simple to arrange all my Twitter posts, Gmail Chat status updates and other online tidbits in one profile. Profilactic: People looking to funnel the most social Web content onto one site may like Profilactic. The site can tap into almost 200 social media sites, which run the gamut from social review site Yelp to ones I had never heard of, such as TwitPic, which lets you share images on Twitter. Users can also add feeds from other sites. Swurl: Though it can't gather information from as many sites as FriendFeed or Profilactic, Swurl's looks set it apart. The site was my favorite in part because of its very clever "Timeline" feature, which let me see all my online activities on one page, organized into a calendar-like grid. I could then click each square of the grid to see details, like the full text of a review of a bar I wrote on Yelp, or larger versions of photos I had uploaded to Flickr

POPSA Trojan Horse? This seems far fetched but let's see how it plays out.

The evil in people's hearts all in the name of greed and money never cease to amaze me.

POPSS&L Scandal Tidbits * The rip-off began in 1980 when the government raised the federal insurance on S&L's from $40,000 to $100,000 even though the typical savings account was only around $6000. * Some of the seized assets were a buffalo sperm bank, a racehorse with syphilis, and a kitty litter mine. * James Fail invested $1000 of his own money to purchase 15 failing S&L's. The government reimbursed him $1.85 billion in federal subsidies. * It sometimes took over 7 years to close failing S&L's by the government. * When S&L owners who stole millions went to jail, their sentances were typically one-fifth that of the average bank robber. * The goverment bail out will cost the taxpayers around $1.4 trillion dollars when it is over. * If the White House had stepped in and bailed out the S&L's in 1986 instead of delaying until after the 1988 elections, the cost might have been only $20 billion. * With the money lost from the S&L scandals, the government could have provided
