Dumping Twitter for Plurk

I'm fed up with Twitter, it keeps dumping Tweets and isn't responding to various Pipes or feeds I've tried to set up. Coupled with huge amounts of downtime, it's time to move over to Plurk.

Adobe do Webconferencing for free...

Metaplace - a new sort of Second Life

Quite an interesting idea where you can build your own virtual world and it links to other virtual worlds. They are also talking about having web access through Flash (with the 3D support that's coming). It's not complete yet but worth keeping an eye on.

A nice review of it
