Gmail launched on April 1st, 2004. Since that time it has been in Beta. I have often wondered when Gmail will move out of Beta. You'd think that by now, Gmail wouldn't still be in Beta version, or perhaps maybe be in the Release Candidate stages.

Time and time again, Twitter tends to be FUBAR. When will they get a new computer from the GoodWill store to run their web site???

A Seesmic user named Jacob asks the community if they feel like Twitter is dying. This received quite a few really good responses regarding this questions and it is for sure worth a look see.

Blogging is amazingly popular. Some 100+ Million blogs are online today, many of which are self-hosted WordPress blogs.

What powers your blog, besides the footer.php file indicating that your blog is powered by WordPress?

Well, in reality of things, WordPress is really a GUI or graphical user interface that writes data to a MySQL database. Yes, folks... you can blog without WordPress if you wanted to. Simply create a MySQL DB and write your own interface to write data to the tables and BOOM you have a blog.

It is very important for self-hosted WordPress bloggers to have a general understanding of what MySQL is. While I don't expect bloggers to become master CODERS of MySQL, I do expect that they do understand the fundamentals behind MySQL and understand how it is used in helping your produce content on the Internet.

I have submitted into StumbleUpon the about page of MySQL as I feel that there is a huge number of Stumblers who are also self-hosted WordPress bloggers. The value of reading this page is very high as you will be presented with a soon to be better understanding of MySQL and come to a realization of how important this open source database program is for you.


From the page: "MySQL is the world's most popular open source database software, with over 100 million copies of its software downloaded or distributed throughout its history. With its superior speed, reliability, and ease of use, MySQL has become the preferred choice for Web, Web 2.0, SaaS, ISV, Telecom companies and forward-thinking corporate IT Managers because it eliminates the major problems associated with downtime, maintenance and administration for modern, online applications."

"the more complex a system becomes, the more complex the method people use to break it will become". Do you think that is true? I'd can agree to that, but also too I think simple systems can be more secure.
