POPSR.I.P. Furl This raises a couple of issues. 1. One of the few options to do some serious organization and storing of online research is gone. I guess that leaves Diigo and Evernote. No offense to the Clipmarks guys, but I see Clipmarks as filling a different (but also important) niche, one more geared towards social news/sharing than research (namely because there is no way for a user to get an exhaustive list of their tags on Clipmarks, which is why I resorted to Evernote and Furl). 2. How much can we trust these Web 2.0 services to last? Furl transferred my clips to Diigo, but it looks like my cached copies are gone. Is there a good way to organize and store webpages that is guaranteed to last? I'm thinking local storage may be the only guarantee of that. I am pretty bummed out about this.

POPSWill the Internet Evolve into a Lifeform? One route is the evolution of electronic intelligences in situations like the internet-arms race between spammers and shielders. It might sound silly, the idea that new life could be created in an attempt to offer you a great deal on C1@Lis!!, but have you tried registering for a forum recently? Even gaining access to the lowest level of interaction online now requires elementary Turing tests to tell the humans from the robots. Another option is the idea of the net itself becoming sentient, a vast self-modifying array of connections and information storage with limited connections to the outside world (kind of like that glob of grey goo you carry around in your skull). If that happens then Gibson help us all - remember that the net is made of about 90% spam, 9% porn, and quite a lot of whining blogs. If that mixture ever becomes self-aware we're not quite sure what it'll do, but the odds are against it being anything good.

POPSDizzler - All in 1 Mediaplayer Online - TOP!
Dizzler free downloadable application allows users to search online and play free music, videos, games, and radio stations on their desktop or mobile device. Our goal is to create a place where media creators and users can come together and share their passion. We want our members to be able to enjoy all of the free media content on the web as safely and easily as possible without any SPYWARE, ADWARE or storage constraints. All you need is access to the internet and our free media player. Where does the music, video and games come from? When you make a search, Dizzler only returns publicly available content from the Internet. Dizzler’s technology indexes and then encrypts in-line links to 3rd party websites that publicly host media using the same standards and practices as the major search engines (Google, Yahoo). This encryption prevents Dizzler users from accessing the actual paths to content in order to thwart inappropriate downloading, copying or sharing of files.
