I have mixed feelings about craigslist.  On the one hand, i love the informality of it.  I love being able to post stuff for free, and take it off whenever i feel like it.  Unlike ebay, i don’t have to worry about fees, or shipping anything as soon as the item sells.  I guess i’m [...]

Recently, I wrote two posts, one on FriendFeed the other on PicLens. Just for kicks I decided to let the companies know that I liked their product/service (…proservductice?) and I had written a post about them. I wasn’t expecting a shoutout on their blog or being added to some list, I just wanted to let [...]
