How To Create A Disposable Webpage
The aptly named service is called DisposableWebPage and is completely free. What it does is that it creates an instant wiki for you to edit, share and perhaps collaborate with your friends. This also means you reap all the benefits of a wiki system with rich text editing and collaboration built directly into the system – plus you have version control so you can easily revert back to previous forms if something goes wrong.

What’s Next After Web 2.0
But we’re clearly now at a point where the financial problems of the world will have a big impact on where web technology is headed. Indeed, it looks like we’ve arrived at one of those giant inflexion points – where one web era is usurped by another.

What’s next after Web 2.0?
From Digg:
Why, Web 1.0, of course. It is the recession, after all…
Or, perhaps:
They skip any logical sequence (3.0) and go for the bane of the computer world, irrational letters and numbers.
Here we come web 3.402GTxL!
Heh. Digg rules.
Pascal’s Wager – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pascal’s Wager (or Pascal’s Gambit) is a suggestion posed by the French philosopher Blaise Pascal that even though the existence of God cannot be determined through reason, a person should “wager” as though God exists, because so living has potentially everything to gain, and in theory nothing to lose.

University publishes 15 words we <3 to hate for 2009
Just in time for the new year, Lake Superior State University has delivered on its decades-old tradition of publishing a “List of Words Banished from the Queen’s English for Mis-Use, Over-Use and General Uselessness.” The annual, jocular list began in 1976, with words and phrases like “meaningful” (which lost all of its meaningfulness at the time) and “call for resignation” as a publicity stunt to promote the university’s existence. Since then it has grown into a crowdsourced list of the latest clichés to have been birthed from pop culture, and even text speech made this list of words we “<3” to hate for 2009.
