I am seeing an awful lot of doubled posts on Rojo today. Anyone know what’s up?

Yahoo Blog Search: Compression?
I guess bandwidth doesn’t matter to Yahoo. They don’t use gzip/HTTP compression any more.
Ok, not completely true. It’s there on the Portal Page. But nowhere else.
<sigh>
I give up.
Oklahoma University Bombing Coverup
Ok, I love inflammatory headlines. But they go with this story: In Bombing At OU Stadium There Are More Questions Than Answers
Travis Smith was the first to clue me in that this happened. [here]
I wonder this one is being swept under the rug? If it was a suicide, it’s sad; but is there more to this?
GrabPERF: Yahoo Blogsearch added to Search Index
Ok, the GrabPERF Search Index has a new member: Yahoo Blogsearch.
We’ll see how it works out in term of performance; Scoble has some initial comments on quality of results. [here]

Gada.Be — Gotta Be Up To Be Useful
I love Chris Pirillo’s new search tool, Gada.Be.
I fired up the standard measurement on GrabPERF: “new york”

I just de-activated the measurement, it was hanging the whole measurement system. I’ll fire it up again tomorrow and see if there is some improvement.
UPDATE: Gada.be has become usable, but performance does vary substantially.

My Hidden Talent
For all the people I know: Please get off the floor and stop laughing.
***Your Hidden Talent***
You’re super sensitive and easily able to understand situations.
You tend to solve complex problems in a flash, without needing a lot of facts.
Decision making is easy for you. You have killer intuition.
The right path is always clear, and you’re a bit of a visionary.
What’s Your Hidden Talent?

Web 2.0: It is as bad as I feared
Renee Blodgett confirms my fears about the Web 2.0 bubble starting. [here]
Hope you have a parachute or a soft spot to land…
GrabPERF: Come kick the tires before you buy
GrabPERF is now officially back in the open: All data; All the time.
I hope you like some of the changes I have made in the site navigation pages. I am slowly adding new features when I can, so watch for a trickle of new items appearing.
GrabPERF is still up for sale. I can’t dedicate the time necessary to making this system world-class given my current responsibilities, unless I can find some serious sponsors to help out.
Enjoy, and let me know if you want your site added!
