It shows what’s on now, soon and tonight, with weightings for popularity. That’s three out of four, but Throng also tells me “Members may personalise their listings to highlight their favourite shows and hide ones they’re not interested in.” Thing is tho, most of what’s on TV, I am not interested in. What I want is to see the odd rare thing that I might actually be interested in watching. So, rather than just hide all of it, I think I’ll ignore Throng. If there’s something on that you think I’ll really like, would you please let me know.

One was around Gay Pride Week in Minneapolis. It is pride2005?

At the recent meeting of the Online Deliberative Democracy group, we agreed to use the tag ODDC. That works nicely in Gataga.

Right now, it searches: del.icio.us, flickr, technorati, blogmarks, blinklist,jots, spurl, furl, podcast, simpy, connotea.

That list is an eye-opener all by itself.
