Aboutus.org – What Do You Think?

Aboutus.org – What Do You Think?

I’ve just noticed the “aboutus.org” wiki. It looks as though they are trying to put together information on every domain.

AboutUs is a fully editable wiki, a type of Web site, that has been prepopulated with information about several million websites. Enter a domain name in the search box (for example: “Yahoo.com” or “AboutUs.org”) and see what comes up!

I discovered I was already listed, so I did fix a couple of things on the virushead page.

http://www.aboutus.org/VirusHead.net

However, it’s competely open and anyone could add whatever they want. It could become a destination spot for spammers, trolls, and stalkers. They do log the IP of the person who changes an entry, but no registration or login is required.

What do you think? Free advertising or soft surveillance? Information being free or future source of manipulation? Comments, criticisms?

Least Favorite Household Chore?

Least Favorite Household Chore?

Well, much as I detest the role of the hausfrau, there is a lot to be done around here today.

Here’s your chance to chime in, folks!

What is your most avoided, least favorite chore? The one thing you’d trade almost any other chore (or even two) to avoid doing?

Mine’s washing the kitchen floor, and it’s on the list of things I must do today. There are sticky bits and places where coffee has been sloshed, and there are little crumbs, and little bits of airborne floaty garlic shells, and a dead spider. It can’t continue. Sweeping isn’t enough, not anymore. Sigh. Deep sigh. Shudder. Resolve.

See you tomorrow, same bat time, same bat channel.
