Associated Press Hands Local And National News Sites An Opportunity To Get Links And Traffic
via Publishing 2.0 by Scott Karp on June 16, 2008
The Associated Press is facing a blog firestorm after issuing take down notices to Drudge Retort for linking to and reproducing snippets of AP stories. AP is now attempting to define how their stories can be linked to and excerpted — and the response from the blogosphere appears to be to boycott the AP, i.e. not link at all.

via RickMahn.com by Rick Mahn on June 16, 2008

Having suffered a heart attack myself earlier this year, I know this firsthand — the heart is no match for the high-stress, multitasking lives that so many of us lead.And before we know it, our poor habits catch up with us. It’s why I urge you to get yourself...

via Home Office Warrior by Grant Griffiths on June 16, 2008
I belong to a couple of listservs and one of them had a conversation recently concerning tools such as email and calendars. After the conversation had gone on for part of an afternoon, I offered my take on things. And one of the tools I talked about using was Gmail. I also briefly mentioned Gcal, Jott, Remember the Milk (RTM) and sync’ing all of the data with each other. Because each of...
