Community is where you make it
The Atlantic used Google search autocomplete to discover 50 cities’ stereotypes. I wondered what I could learn about some recent presidents.
Apparently, not much. ;-)
Did any of these surprise you?
Update: Thanks to a comment on Facebook suggesting that these might be honest questions rather than statements,1Thanks, Jeff! I reattempted the searches. Looks like Reagan and Carter reversed sentiments.
See what you think.

I was using Feedburner to provide my email subscriptions. Rather than wait for Google to kill Feedburner,1With Google killing Reader, Feedburner is next. Some would argue Feedburner has already received the fatal blow and we just don’t know it. I have moved my email subscriptions to URI.LV. If all works as planned, those of you who subscribed to my blog will continue to get my new posts (including this one) without disruption. If not, I’ll have some debugging to do.
I also had been using Feedburner to serve my RSS feeds. Same dealio; now URI.LV is doing this.
The subscribe buttons at the top and left now connect to URI.LV’s email newsletter service. RSS feeds should automatically go to the right place.
Fingers crossed. Looks like it worked. I’m so happy. :-)

I’m one of the 500,000 making the jump to Feedly. I
readscan 228 feeds, so quick navigation from one item to the next is of prime importance. Reader’s j/k shortcuts are permanently wired into my finger memory and I was overjoyed to find that Feedly also uses them.I’m playing with Feedly’s touch interface on a 7″ tablet, but finding it not near as efficient, not even as Reader’s Android app.
It is exciting to see all the development taking place in RSS readers, now that Google is leaving. This may actually be a good thing.
I posted this as a comment at TinyScreenfuls, but figure it was worth a post here.
What about you? Are you an RSS feed consumer? Now that Google’s leaving, what tool will you be using?
Watch Dave Winer’s opinion of Google Buzz drive off the cliff:
Ouch! I’m still waiting to try Buzz.

From The Official Google Blog:
“Use Google to Make 1000s of Dollars!” or “Easy Cash with Google: You Could be Making up to $978 a Day Working from Home!” You may have seen offers like these using Google’s name or logo that sounded too good to be true. Unfortunately, nearly all of them are, and, despite hundreds of consumer complaints and our own efforts to keep these sites from tricking people, some scams continue. [Emphasis added.]
Only “nearly all of them”? Google, can you identify one true offer for me? ;-)
