Hi Sarah, just wanted to let your readers know that I updated the widget and moved it over to http://FFavatars.com - check it out there for an even easier way to customize it for your own site. And now you can also include your FF badge and status combined with your favorite followers in a single widget.

Re: Amazon not joining the Open Cloud Manifesto, either (via Google Reader)

Not sure. I just read through the version at http://www.scribd.com/doc/13710927/Open-Cloud-M... and it seems harmless enough, but I suppose the parts that both Amazon and Microsoft don't care for are things like "Cloud providers must not use their market position to lock customers into their particular platforms and limiting their choice of providers." -- sounds good to talk about but this is, after all, a key goal in maintaining market share.

Thanks for posting John. I actually just moved some stuff around and it should load much better now -- at least after the initial load. The very first time you use it may still take a few seconds but after that it is much speedier. Let me know how it works for you.

Thanks,
Alan

Re: Survey on the economic bailout: should it pass or are there alternatives?

acheslow — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 22:19:57 -0000

To quote Steve Landsburg (http://thecurrent.theatlantic.com/archives/2008...

"What's clear is that a bunch of financial institutions have made mistakes and lost money. What's unclear is why anyone (other than the owners and managers) should care. People make mistakes and lose money all the time. Restaurants fail, grocery stores fail, gas stations fail. People pick the wrong stocks, they buy the wrong cars, and they marry the wrong spouses without turning to the Treasury for bailouts.

So what's special about banks? According to what I keep reading, it's that without banks, nobody can borrow, and the economy grinds to a halt.

Well, let's think about that. Banks don't lend their own money; they lend other people's (their depositors' and their stockholders'). Just because the banks disappear doesn't mean the lenders will. Borrowers will still want to borrow and lenders will still want to lend. The only question is whether they'll be able to find each other."

This, I think, is a great new business opportunity.

...and then we can watch the value of the dollar fall even farther after the Fed prints more fiat currency to hand over to the banks.

Good work. Next time I hope to see some views presented from outside the two-party agenda though. How about some time on the likes of Ron Paul and Ralph Nader?
