@UgoTrade links to the solipsis download page:
http://solipsis.netofpeers.net/wiki2/index.php/Download

According the Main Page of the solipsis site:

"Solipsis is a pure peer-to-peer system for a massively shared virtual world. There are no central servers at all: it only relies on end-users' machines."

"Current versions of Solipsis give the opportunity to act as pionneers in a pre-cambrian world. You only have a 2D representation of the virtual world and some basic tools devoted to communications and interactions. But it just works, so, come on and enjoy !"

"Solipsis is developed within France Télécom - R&D Division"

so basic plan, if I don't blog it, then share blogs posts via Google Reader or share links via del.icio.us, all ending up on FriendFeed

Another web log experiment

How to save in one place all of the interesting links I stumble across on internet? Keeping a record of links was the original purpose of the first web logs or "blogs." Now there are other ways, such as bookmark sites. But I want to see if it works for me to keep them here. So here is goes:

A site that gives you your twitter statistics (thanks to catmagellan on twitter):
http://xefer.com/twitter/catmagellan

First comment: actually Blogger is not great for this because it fails to automatically transclude the links, and I have to "insert link". But at least it is faster than Mediawiki on my personal website.

Article about growing the Flickr community (from Jjacek on twitter):
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/fromlittlethings

iYan Writer's Google feed shared items (Digado subscribed):
http://www.google.com/reader/shared/17537291200371278570

Hey, this is working pretty well. I can always "insert links" later, to be able to just click on them.

VidalTripsa uninstalled weblin. AlKronos also.

Digado didn't like probloggers tips for twitterers.
