Writeboard Use “Collection” as the password to access the WriteBoard. Like Uploadbin (or Pastebin) on steroids. Well, steroids with a sprinkling of sanity.

30GB Web Mail Launches Into Beta: This takes the cake. Of course the 30gigs.com site is down with a mysql error. I wonder how long this one will last. Heck, I sticll haven’t filled up less than half of my GMail space (and hope never to do so!) [UPDATE] Site is back up but I notice this disclaimer “Notice: We collect personal information on this site.” Ummm… there was an uproar when Google wanted to read through email to generate ads.

The distributed nature of the feature, along with innovative and resourceful programmers and their tools (e.g. Ping-O-Matic) will keep ping services alive. weblogs.com has reeled more than once before, blo.gs has reduced in importance and players have changed their positions in the market, but the ping services arena is not in any imminent danger of a fallout.
