    There should be a legal limit on first posters...

    Doesn't anyone think that there *must* be a more palatable word for an online journal than "blog"?

    Sounds like something I would see on ratemypoo.com

  7. Soon to come to theBubbler.com ...... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    theBubbler.com will soon have a very advanced open source blog on their site. Some of the features you'll see:

    One of the best and probably the most importnat feature, it's fully interactive.

    Most blogs are a monolog. The blogger on theBubbler.com encourages active discussion of every update posted to the blog by having a discussion area attached to each weblog entry.

    A few other features, such as the fact that it:

    Kid safe (and web safe) - All postings and discussions are filtered for offensive language, malicious code, and formatting requirements.

    XML compliant - All output is 100% XML compliant (XHTML) and uses W3C best practices (CSS for all layout)

    Cross Platform - The blogs work on any platform with a web browser for posting, viewing, and administration.

    This looks very promising and I look forward to trying it out soon!

    dude! why are you all anonymous and shit! what you did to my post is awesome. I actually had originally written a more serious longer post (that would have probably also been +5), but I said "fuck all" and wrote that in like 10 seconds. Says the same thing, less elegant.

    You rule.
