It looks like Twitter is really on a roll the past few months. At first I sympathized with a lot of commentors' questioning of whether Twitter was just a fad, but after just 9 days watching the platform, I can already see it evolving somewhat, becoming more useful with less drivel. Of course, some of that is my own "fine-tuning" friends to my particular interests, but in any case I'm sold on its usefulness and expect it to be here to stay. There's also considerable discussion in the comments about the relative strengths and weaknesses of "microblogging" platforms such as Twitter vs. the new Tumblr and various other blogging platforms, including Blogger, WordPress, MovableType, etc. Here’s an interesting post by Jason Kottke comparing the growth of Twitter and Blogger.

Wow! Almost 100 comments on this post in Karachi!

segway sundays can’t be beat

Nasa’s New Horizons spacecraft has returned stunning views of the Jupiter system, taken on a recent flyby

… and I think this page may qualify for most groovy (old meaning) background.
