June 28, 2006 | Filed Under Blog Design | 22 Comments

Darren Rowse has been doing a great job aggregating all the various blog tools out there the last few days. There are really some great ones that I had never heard of.
It strikes me that so many people are so polarized on so many different “things” regarding blogging, though. Qumana vs. Ecto. Adsense vs. […]

Google Closes Hello (What’s That Anyway?)
May 9, 2008 | By Thord Daniel Hedengren | Leave a Comment

I’m reading that Google is closing Hello, which apparently was (and is, as I’m writing this), a photo sharing service that came with Picasa. I guess they feel it doesn’t fill a purpose anymore.

Unfortunately it seems as if they launched the feature prematurely, and the Google team has currently disabled the feature–at least for now.
