Ask Bloglines? I guess we’ll see

Ask Jeeves to buy Bloglines | CNET News.com

One last linkblog for the night. I finally imported all of my feeds (blogroll, if you will) from Trillian into Bloglines. Then this article pops up. I’m transitioning to a different RSS reader because I’m planning on upgrading to Trillian 3 on the new laptop, and if I want to keep using the News part of it, I need to pay another $25. I’m going to investigate Trillian 3 and possibly buy it anyway, but I figured I would give a ’server-based’ web aggragator a chance.

I guess Ask Jeeves is too. Social network mapping is interesting.

NASA turns a blind eye to its space eye, the Hubble

USATODAY.com – Scientists decide to abandon the aging Hubble Space Telescope project

Sucks. I think we could learn more by launching three more Hubbles than a few visits to the Moon and Mars. I’ve complained before (re: the Concorde amongst other things) about how it’s not having the best technology, it’s doing something newer and flashier. It’s sad to see that level of interest being put into the Hubble.

But, I also understand with everything else going on in the world, NASA spending should be kept in check. We have too many problems on Earth to worry about taking them to other planets — although it would be nice to look at other planets.

/me is disappointed.
