I found quite a bit more than I had expected.It seems that sometime in the past few days Yahoo went and updated the look of the results for Site Explorer.

With the Chicago Cubs going down in 3, my hope was for a good showing by my college teams and the Bears to win over the Lions.  All went well for my teams - and Dave was happy.As I wrote up my experience with Live Streaming [...] http://www.gooruze.com/members/daver/blog/123351/ http://www.gooruze.com/members/daver/blog/123351/ Sun, 05 Oct 2008 22:38:33 -0700 daver Recently I was able to watch a Sunday Night Football game live and online and it was great. Everything about it was great. The video quality was good, the sound, the option to switch back and forth from different camera angles - all I can say is that it was well done.Tonight I had some [...] http://www.gooruze.com/members/daver/blog/123326/ http://www.gooruze.com/members/daver/blog/123326/ Thu, 02 Oct 2008 20:30:29 -0700 daver For a long time I have heard good things about twitterfeed but much like graywolf I hate to use 3rd party applications that ask for my username and password. So what else could I do but go on a hunt for a Twitter Wordpress plugin?I did a seach on Wordpress for “twitter” and found some [...] http://www.gooruze.com/members/daver/blog/122959/ http://www.gooruze.com/members/daver/blog/122959/ Fri, 05 Sep 2008 23:20:40 -0700 daver Just testing http://www.gooruze.com/members/daver/blog/122957/ http://www.gooruze.com/members/daver/blog/122957/ Fri, 05 Sep 2008 20:46:45 -0700 daver Not that I follow anyone actively or use my account much but it is somewhat interesting to see Google actually do something with one of its purchases.Like many of the small companies they buy, very little seems to come of the great promise. Do you recall Dodgeball? GrandCentral? Postini? The list goes on and on [...] http://www.gooruze.com/members/daver/blog/122861/ http://www.gooruze.com/members/daver/blog/122861/ Sat, 30 Aug 2008 14:19:12 -0700 daver That is what I am asking as I sit and read about Comcast capping bandwidth to 250GB starting October 1st here, here, and here. I personally cant think of a time I have ever used close to that amount, but I am sure that there are those that do. The thing that confuses me [...] http://www.gooruze.com/members/daver/blog/122852/ http://www.gooruze.com/members/daver/blog/122852/ Thu, 28 Aug 2008 21:16:30 -0700 daver Im covering 5-7 sessions for Barry over @ Search Engine Roundtable and there are some other great people doing even more.

I was sent an invite to Kwippy from @mktackabery (thanks!) and signed up. Due to some work I needed to finish I was unable to play around much until tonight.What is Kwippy?Kwippy is [...] http://www.gooruze.com/members/daver/blog/122545/ http://www.gooruze.com/members/daver/blog/122545/ Tue, 12 Aug 2008 21:41:37 -0700 daver So recently I had the brilliant idea to put together a bit of a survey and see how others used Twitter. Well, I did it. I did have to do some twitter whoring to get the 100 responses, but it did work.I kept it short and sweet and only had 10 questions. Why did I [...] http://www.gooruze.com/members/daver/blog/122383/ http://www.gooruze.com/members/daver/blog/122383/ Wed, 06 Aug 2008 21:30:18 -0700 daver I have seen a wide variety of office jokes and office pranks in my day, and might have even partaken in a few but I have never seen anything like what you will see below.I have to wonder how the logistics of pulling something like this off.

The parking is horrible. I have had to park blocks and blocks away and they still charge you an insane amount.If you dont know where the Sears Centre is? It is some 45-50 miles outside of Chicago. Yes, it [...] http://www.gooruze.com/members/daver/blog/121950/ http://www.gooruze.com/members/daver/blog/121950/ Mon, 21 Jul 2008 21:27:22 -0700 daver I know that putting the video on my site will break it, but its such a great mix.I encourage you to check it out.

TweetDeck is built much like Twirl in that it is build on the Adobe Air platform, but little else appears to be the same.TweetDeck has all of the same options you can get in the web version of Twitter, or in applications such as Twirl, Twitterfox, or a Twitterlicious.
