The Week in Tech - 08/22/05
--Starting your week off with some politics: the Bush administration is objecting to the creation of a .xxx domain, saying it would create a virtual red-light district. Am I missing something here? Wouldn't that be a good thing? Would you rather have an adult bookstore next door to your home or 30 miles away in a designated area?
--Following on the recent story that blogs are not as prevalent as we think, RSS has even smaller numbers. A new Nielsen study finds that only 11% of blog readers use RSS and 66% of them don't even know what it is. Are you an RSS user? If not, why? Is this technology integral to the growth of the blogosphere?
--Have you heard of BugMeNot? It's a site that creates bogus log-ins for all those pesky registrations that so many media outlets require these days. Problem is, most of those sites are now wise to it and make a practice of disabling the log-ins on a daily basis. So BugMeNot is organizing a protest of sorts. It's called International Database Poisoning Day and the plan is to inundate media with fake registrations. Think it will work? Which side of the fence are you on - are registrations evil or necessary?
