I find it amusing how ORBS keeps having to find new service providers. To my knowlege they have been kicked off two or three providers for blocking their own host.
While I appreciate the work the Orbs people are doing I don't appreciate the rough and offensive way in which they operate.
While it is a great article and an interesting idea it has to be asked "Is Slashdot the correct forum for it"
This would be a perfect article for salon, yahoo or any other large audience of non techno savy netusers. However posting on Slashot is like explaining the basics of physics to Stephen Hawking. Most of us are aware of the revolution in media.
I think it is time Katz realised the audience he has and started to pitch his articles to the appropriate location. The advantage of the net is that there will always be somewhere that an article would be appropriate for.
