MiscLinks Gilbert Cattoire points us

MiscLinks

Gilbert Cattoire points us to a sad, sad blog that monitors free services becoming fee services: The End of Free.

Something weird and possibly wonderful is happening at Gazm.org, which, despite its name, is not a sex site. Not that there would be anything wrong with it if it were. Instead, it's an experiment in open uploading with a revolutionary's commitment to messiness. Perfect for poking around.

CNet has an excellent article by Stefanie Olsen and Evan Hansen on Google the Good's latest experiment. In beta, they are letting users give a thumbs up or down on a page, which will help position the page in its listings. Currently Google uses a variety of techniques, most famously, using the number of links to a page to help determine how far up the search results page it should be.
