J ohn Edwards drops out of US presidential race, I expect him to endorse Obama very soon. Edwards was always the underdog, trailing Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. He based his campaign bid on supporting the middle class and promissed to get out of Iraq from day one.
If he endorse Obama, this has huge meeaning for Obama’s campaign and another blow to Hillary Clinton’s Bid.
Edwards will have a speech at 18:00 GMT in New Orleans.

Its not that pretty, its not advanced, but it sure does what it claims to do. ChatMaker gives you the ability to easily create disposable chat rooms, no registration, no accounts, no logins, simply make a room and users will automatically be given random guest nicknames which can be changed later.
While chatting some IRC-like commands could be used, such as /nick to change the nickname and /me to designate actions, also some HTML codes could be used such as <a> for hyperlinks, <strong> for bold and <I> for italics. As I said it is not advanced, simply just name a chat room and click go and you are in business.

Who is hosting this allows you to know who is hosting any website, simply enter the URL of the website you want to find out who is hosting it and they will give you the answer instantly. They claim that they are right 98% of the time. Although looks very simple, and although there are tons of websites out there related to webhosting and domains, I never saw a website that can strictly just answer “Who is hosting this website?”.

It all started with Twitter, an easy cool new way for social networking and micro blogging. After a while it became the most famous thing , in case you don’t know, and I really really doubt that you do not know, Twitter simply allows users to send updates on themselves, those are called “Tweets” they are text based posts (140 Character long) submitted to Twitter and displayed on the user’s profile pages. What made Twitter so famous in my opinion is the ability to send those text based posts using either the web, Instant Messengers, PDA, Mobile SMS or 3rd party applications such as Twitterrific.
Since then, more and more Twitter clones came out, claiming they can do a better job, some of those clones are Pownce, Jaiku, Cromple, Tumblr. And the latest of them all is MessageDance which is still in private beta. The main difference between MessageDance and Twitter is that on MessageDance you are not limited to a number of characters per post and you can actually add images and videos. Actually Tumblr allows users to post long posts and include images and videos too.
But its not all good news, MessageDance requires you to install a widget on your blog or website to make your friends know what you are posting and to see what they are posting?! What I cant get is why it is a MUST to install the widget. Installing widgets should always be an option not a requirement.
The way I see it, Twitter is still the best, because none of those clones have the portability Twitter has, they simply depend on posting directly on the web, while on Twitter as said earlier users can post using either the web, Instant Messengers, PDA, Mobile SMS or 3rd party applications.

Mark Larsen of 1040 AM WWBA had an amazing interview with the republican party presidential nominee Mitt Romney, and after discussing cutting taxes for few minutes Mark Larsen mentions Ron Paul strategy for the taxes and Mitt Romeny chuckles and laughs of Ron Paul drove Larsen to support Ron Paul!!!
This interview just shows how candidates run away when asked serious important questions, directly on issues. You just have to hear what Mark Larsen reply was like, an amazing, just amazing summary of what really the US Elections is all about.
Here it is:
