Today a friend introduced me ‘new’ (moi-4 months techno-retarded person:) tag meta search engine Fetch based in San Fransico. TagFetch can search multiple tag sites from one location: includes Flickr, YouTube,  del.icio.us, Technorati, Feedster, Ice Rocket, Topix, Digg and Google Blogs.  Type some word, name, term, something – i got  search information “Server timed out try again.” (maybe I was too demanding)

Tomorrow and on Sunday, who can jump to the main spot in Belgrade (during this week) can meet tomorrow in Hall 1 Arena presentation of US embassy programme as well some authors from USA (prof. David Carr from UNC-SILS).

From GNU Linux Center in Belgrade: GNU center started realization of the project that is aimed to train small group students of journalism and independent journalist in blogging about activities in their communities.  Bloggers will have their own sites and will be trained how to use blogs, make them searchable and accessible for people with special needs.   They will be trained on ethics of journalism and democratic moderation of their blogs. Workshop will last 3 days and this weekend I was invited to give a little ‘contribution’ (as an old blogger, now in 5th series), help /train/direct them with my blogging modest experience(:

I made a raw wiki page just for the professors, colleagues, friends, people (who participated in research directly/indirectly) aborad and those who cannot come or will not be at Friday morning to listen to my research paper defence. As i’m preparing presentation and speech, you may post, ask, add questions considering these topics.

Talking about Internet usage, here’s the latest results of The Centre for Reseach of IT’s of Belgrade Open School (CePIT), under the study ” Internet Penetration in Serbia 2006″. You can donwload the survey, results and other free eBooks on similar issues.

Recent Stanford University study of internet addiction showed, (according to slashdot) that interviewed 2513 adults in a US survey, nearly 14% of them said they found it difficult to stay away from the internet for several days…and “Approximately 6% also said their personal relationships had suffered as a result of excessive internet usage.”

I guess this percentage would be much higher on wider scale of geo- survey (apart from States). Ask yourself how many hours do you spend on the internet (for any purpose)?

Nature and Nature’s laws lay hid in night:
