Lean back and let the internet feed you with yummie content… Great concept, isn’t it? Just like a zoo personal feeding this little fella · photo byRaghuram

“Never compare apples and oranges”, we have been preached since we waved goodbye to kindergarten. I’m afraid that I am going to do exactly the opposite of what this old saying (en-de equivalents can be found here) implies. Now that we signed up on heaps of online services like Facebook, Google Reader, Digg, Del.icio.us, Twitter and Co, we are having troubles sharing that content with people from other platforms.

The web goes cross platform with content aggregators who suck content from specific sites and gather its content in one place resulting in one huge diverse feed.Find out about apples, oranges and aggregators after the jump.

Whenever someone sets an initiative to kick Internet Explorers butt, I’m more than happy to help out - that obviously is the reason for this entry. Download Day 2008 has a mission in mind, namely setting a Guiness World Record in the most downloaded software in 24 hours. Given that there is no such entry, Firefox will get one anyway, but, as I said in the beginning, let’s kick Internet Explorer’s butt. Firefox 3 has a promising set of features (in terms of security, user interface and stability)and will most likely be my #1 choice on Windows PCs.
