What's My Image is an interesting site. You can post your photo and ask any of several questions and see if visitors to the site can guess the answer by looking at your photo. I posted my photo just to see how it works.

I've tried to find all the State Democratic Party Blogs. I found them because they had a link from the front page of a State Democratic Party web site. Let me know if I've missed any. I've included the live link, and a brief assessment of the blog. I think this will provide a better visual when I say that official Democratic Party blogs need some sort of Guidelines when you see some of the inconsistent practices.

Gotta like Indiana, they actually link to other liberal bloggers in state rather than posting their own blog. As does Maryland.

Postage Is Due for Companies Sending E-Mail

Kind of a good idea - depending on standards - but foreseeable problems. This is going to end up being seen as a potential cash-cow by the email networks. Companies like LSoft are going to have to keep adding costs, and it's going to drive them out of business.

Frankly, we probably are less than five years before the government gets involved in the administration of email to resolve the spam problem. Postal service has to do something, right? Whether this happens in a smart way, or in a ham-handed-give-away-big-profits-to-big-donors way, probably depends on how much the email user community tries to figure out the problem.

And to be honest, not quite sure how this is the solution to spam. This is a way to prioritize email - but defining an email as spam is determined by the recipient, not the sender. Having the sender pay doesn't change that definition. Big companies can afford to pay for email delivery, but that doesn't make it any less spammish to me.
