Today is the 75th anniversary of that blessed day in 1933 when Utah became the 36th and deciding state to ratify the 21st amendment, thereby repealing the 18th amendment. This ended the nation's disastrous experiment with alcohol prohibition. (Read More)

: @greghollingsworth @thekookfringecom @thePuck @homosuperior Wondering where you guys weigh in on this one. I'm wondering if all four of you will ever agree on anything. Maybe this will be it. Doubtful, Very doubtful!
: @michaelfidler Don't know, now that he knows he won't be the decider any more, maybe he is starting to realize he's got a long time to think about what he's done. Although, didn't seem like he opened up very much, and I'm sorry, but I don't for a minute believe that he hasn't had a drink in 30 years.
: @greghollingsworth I don't believe it for a minute either. Besides, if he hasn't already done so, he is going to have a lot of time on his hands as you pointed out! I wouldn't wish relapse on anyone, so I'm going to refrain from doing it!

With all the downtime problems Twitter has been experiencing lately, it could be just a matter of time before there is a mass exodus to another service. My guess is it wouldn’t take much to trigger the exodus — at least among the early-adopting tech crowd. Because the microblogging space is so nascent, a departure of even a (Read More)
: I've been testing plurk out and highly enjoying the experience. Plurk lacks in the extensibility of twitter, but I suspect that's something that can be worked around.
: LAME-O! Plurk has decided to forbid people and also highly recommend against the things I find very helpful about Twitter! Twitter does have problems, but one of the things I like about it, is it's ability to connect me with like-minded (ie techie) people. Plurk has no search feature to help me connect, and advises "Only add people who are your good buddies. Don't add people you met for 3 minutes at a party." Dudes! Your missing the point!
: Interesting UI. I'm game to trying new social apps. The problem though is that they don't give me any instant gratification unless I patiently hang out over there and create my friends' network. Hope the recent initiatives like friend connect etc goes mainstream soon.
: I don't know, seemed pretty clear to me. That's how most of the social bookmarking sites like digg and reddit do it, and I just naturally use this the same way. I guess it might be confusing or unclear to those not coming from that environment, though.
