A Japanese Take On The US Economy
fred-wilson: A term you may or may not already know but seems to fit your perspective on why and how the US may survive this crisis is Sokojikara.

Question For CSS Wizards
imkevin: soupsoup: My tag cloud has returned but I am struggling with figuring out how to manage the container they appear in. Right now they run too far to the right and I want to be able to keep it within a set width. Any idea how I can do that? Add this line to your CSS: #tagcloud a:link {display: inline-block;} That fixes it in my tests on Firefox 3 for the Mac. I’m not 100% sure what...

And it increasingly reflects the diversity of New York City, where 40 percent of the population of 8.5 million was not born in the United...

Snow Day In New York? →
The weather cynics have been right this year - each time a storm was “hyped,” it turned out to be nothing. In this case, the weather junkies are hyping the living daylights out of it, and all seem to be in agreement. Most are betting on a foot of snow for the NYC tri-state area, while some conservative forecasters are suggesting 6″ - and the eternal optimists are even predicting 15-20″ of the...

Blogs Suspended For Being Persian. →
There are certain events which happen at the backstage of the blogosphere, not where the readers of a blog would directly notice, but yet can have a serious impact on the performance of any blogger. The issues regarding hosting services are among these. Since last week, Blue Host, the hosting service which is used for this very blog [and Kamangir as well], and the number one recommendation for...

At the risk of sounding stupid I'll admit...
juliakaganskiy: I don’t really understand Twitter. How and, more importantly, why do random people find and follow you? Why would someone who lives in London want to know the daily proceedings of my life and the random musings that make up my tweets? I mean, it’s not really like a blog where there is a narrative to follow or a collection of internet curiosities to browse. It seems too intimate...
