Yahoo tastes delicious

In a shocking-yet-inevitable move, Yahoo! have bought out my favourite multiplayer bookmark system. I still remember the initial excitement on IRC when Joshua set this up, and it feels quite odd to have been using the site through its whole growth, from fun idea to useful site to startup to web 2.0 phenomenon to Yahoo! acquisition.

On the one hand, it's nice to see that someone can still make money on the web by having a good idea and implementing it; on the other, the second the interface includes ads or requires me to have a Yahoo! ID, I'm out of there.

Flickr, I'm looking at you here.

Gooooooodbye

With the infrequency of Google's crawlstto see what I was talking about, and the varied content of this blog, Google's adsense program just wasn't working out for me. I made a couple of cents, which will no doubt sit in the account to be claimed when I put adsense onto another web project I'm currently toying with. So, rejoice! Be glad! The ads are gone! They never did look very pretty, anyway...

In other meta news, I'm playing with Technorati style tags, and categories, and stuff. The front page lists all the tags, and I've so far tagged everything back to where I started using version 3 of Movable Type. I might carry on back to the beginning at some point, but, I got pretty bored. :)
