Total brain fart on my behalf. Yes, I did notice about the web addresses. I did remove one before because it was the same as the one when clicking on your name. My view is, so long as the web address is valid and relevant to the comment, then I allow it... Pieter, please accept my apologies for getting your name wrong!

Total brain fart on my behalf.

Yes, I did notice about the web addresses. I did remove one before because it was the same as the one when clicking on your name.

My view is, so long as the web address is valid and relevant to the comment, then I allow it…

I already did register <a href="http://knol.babl.com" rel="nofollow">knol.babl.nl</a> and I'm hoping it would be the first place to get the news about the take-off of this service. Pieter Jansegers <a href="http://webosophy.ning.com" rel="nofollow">webosophy.ning.com</a> BTW almost every posting, I put in an other website address, did you notice ? I do believe you’re right.

Good to see you again. I really don't like Twitter as a service. It's not helped by the fact that people are almost breaking it to make it do things it's barely able to deal with. While all of the time, Pownce is there doing all of those things right out of the box. As you mention, anyone could have thought of Twitter in much the same way that anyone could have thought of Socialize Me!, but in the end, only two people did the thinking! If Babl is positioned as Google Knol now, I imagine its adoption would be helped greatly if it were to work with Knol once it's available... Hi Pieter! Good to see you again.

I'm thinking the first time ever about using a plugin. I do like total control of my pages and having all the code on my site. Just as I like doing all the things by myself in my life. Many plugins could be a potential risk. But this time around, I'm really considering to use one. Great ideas may sometimes seem to be simplistic, but the realisation of them always has the greatest potential. Anybody could have come up with Twitter. It didn't seem usefull at all even*. Look at it now: no-one can be anyone without twitter presence. I personally believe that http://babl.nl might be the next bigg thing... Especially like I've found some quite critical reviews of the service and, on the other hand, I'm loving it... * I recall reading a quite skeptical blog article back then. BTW, impressionists were also ridiculized by the experts of their time and space. Solid explanation !

I did some more testing and it seems like my initial concerns were a little bit of a knee jerk reaction. Works great. Now if I can just write some awesome content that will go viral on Digg or something... :) Wayne, Yes I’m using the plugin.
