Sunday Morning Push

There is no new discussion thread for today, mostly to allow me time to work on the Weekly piece.

Lots of things left to do with the existing discussion threads, and I'll be around to comment on them too. If that isn't enough, there is still the Weekend Open for you all to make your own fun.

If any of you have experience using 3rd party apps / widgets on weblogs, do speak up. There has been some small discussion privately of either using Sitemeter or Feedburner (not really 3rd party, I know) on this 'blog, but before just slapping them in and turning them on, I'd be interested in hearing about your experiences with such. Thanks!

I am watching a Fox report on Russia's wealth--

Putin is worth 40 billions?

Sitemeter counts hits (visits) and uniques (visitors) and allows for advertisers and media packagers to know how well a given website is doing for traffic.

Feedburner scans and categorizes the content of a topic thread post, which makes it far more findable by search engines and media packagers.

(Media Packager is one way of saying an information service or a news accumulator, like Breitbart for example)
