According to September’s web stats, 1/3 of this site’s visitors were referred by 37signals, the company that offers the Ruby on Rails framework and other Web 2.0 services like Ta-da list and Basecamp. My Wetfloor plugin was briefly mentioned in the article “Reflections are the new drop shadows“, except it wa under the name GlassyFloor. Now that I think about it, GlassyFloor is much better than WetFloor. WetFloor implies something happened.

There have been words saying YouTube can potentially destroy the mainstream media and I tend to agree. The reality seems to be the opposite. YouTube has started various partnership with the big TV stations, and I have seen a couple TV shows (Leno, Good Morning America) with their special YouTube segments. I guess YouTube owns all the user-uploaded videos, and can sell them for big bucks.
On Leno, they showed a clip ripped from Japanese TV. While I enjoy J-TV a lot, I don’t get how this is legal on national television.
What annoys me the most is 9 out of 10 of the clips they pick are old, forwarded, IM’d and dugg.
(I don’t feel like updating this site anymore. Don’t be surprised if it gets abandoned in the future. Meanwhile, I have started working on myfullname.com, but it will mainly serve as a portfolio.)
