Verisign has transferred its dot org registry powers to a new organisation called the Public Interest Registry (PIR), created by the Internet Society.
Fellow dot-orgers, not to worry: contrary to earlier speculation, it doesn’t look like they’re barring personal websites from using this extension. In fact, there will be some improvements in the registration process.

I said it before, and I’m saying it again. A few years ago, Rojo was my favourite news aggregator – a news feeds reader with Digg-like properties all rolled into one. Then Six Apart bought it over.

Facebook has just opened up to public users who can associate themselves by region (instead of school or workplace). IMHO, it’s a big threat to Friendster and Myspace.
