KFTC on YouTube 3
about a month ago, I was having a conversation with a colleague where we puzzling over what it would take for YouTube or similar services to be a tool for community organizers.
One of my thoughts was that YouTube needed some organizing related content before it would be of much interest to organizers or members of community organizing groups.
Well, the folks over at Kentuckians for the Commonwealth may have started the ball rolling by posting this video called “Why We Vote” check it out and forward it on:
hey, you with the IP address 64.122.138.250 3
someone from the IP address 64.122.138.250 has an rss reader (Firefox it appears) that is checking for new feeds way too often. On the order of once a minute. We noticed this because when we looked at our webstats, we noticed that this blog’s feed was suddenly getting A LOT of hits. As an aside, we look at our stats at the beginning of every month because the relatively low number of hits makes it easy to weed out the “popular” pages that are producing 404 or other errors.
Anyway, if you happen to be located at the IP address I mentioned up there, the bandwidth usage isn’t that big off a deal or anything, but you might want to check on your browser since if you’ve got a lot of feeds that you check, the frequency of checking could be causing some network issues for you.
Anyone else having problems with the latest from Firefox? 3
I’ve been running version 2 of Firefox since it was released, and I’m really less than impressed.
lately, I’ve found that it crashes/freezes A LOT. I had to kill and restart it 3 times in less than an hour this morning, in each case starting a new session, not visiting any pages from the last session that could have cause the browser to freeze, etc. Nothing seems to make a difference.
I’m now typing this from Opera - so far the only browser that I can stand given that I won’t use IE, and Firefox keeps crashing.
Anyone else seeing issues with it? Makes me think about going back a version until the kinks are worked out with version 2.
