Not really. I rather enjoy Flocking the interweb. Flock is a social networking browser. It is chock full of useful applications that don’t require any addons or plugins. You are able to set up your accounts through Flock and have one click access to it all. I can upload photos to Flickr or Photobucket directly from the browser and blog them or share them in minutes.

I can check up on my friends on sites like Facebook and Twitter. I can blog to my self hosted sites and a good number of free hosting sites. I can even access my bookmarks in del.icio.us.

If you are a Firefox user, you will love the fact that most of the extensions and add-ons you can use in FF are compatible for use in Flock. Just go to the addons page for FF and download as you would if you were using FF. I have added nearly all my other addons without problems.

Want to get a glimpse of what I’m talking about? Check out the Flickr stream of screenshots. I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised.

I was just informed that the official PayPerPost umbrella company has been released today. Izea.com is the compilation of every company that PPP owns under one name. Many thought that PPP was trying to get rid of their negative rep by absorbing PPP into Izea, thereby changing its name. That is not the case, as you can see on the site.

Honestly, I think it’s not going to make a difference. Any reputation that they have gained over the last months, good or bad, will not be affected at all by this new Izea site. It’s just putting everything in one place so it can all be judged in one foul swoop. I bet many of you didn’t know that they had so many different companies under their wing. The backlash should be interesting to watch unfold across blogs everywhere.

There is still another big release coming up on the eleventh of November. Argus, the PPP monster, will be making its debut. The full new release will be something else I will have to judge when it gets here. Stay tuned for that review…

I am not happy. Not happy at all. People who have bought into Yahoo! account, you have the opportunity to make one for your all inclusive login.

I hate that now not only Flickr is in league with Yahoo!, but now I can’t even have my separated login for MyBlogLog. When I merged my accounts I lost my favorite MBL icon. LOST IT! It’s nowhere on the website. I now have to make do with a different icon till I find the other one somewhere among my thousands of icon pictures on my disks. Thanks a lot!

I am also not happy that all my information is being shared among all these sites through the one common bond. If they are ever compromised, so will we all be…no matter which site they hack…because they are all joined through Yahoo.

Between Yahoo and Google, the world is getting smaller and smaller.

Last night I watched n atomic bomb go off. I don’t know how many survivors are left, but those that do survive are going to be affected for a long time to come. PayPerPost has just begun it’s phase out of all non-quality blogs in preparation for the fabled money making monster named Argus. Their terms of service have been changed in order to govern the ENTIRE blog of each and every member. They are taking away the right for a blogger to control how they post and what they post in their blog. Read for yourself and see if you agree:
