When you install this software on your home computer, supposedly, it makes all your saved or stored media (photos, videos, music, both local and online) accessible via a single URL. I don't get how it works, but it sounds like it could be handy someday. And it's free.

This seems a little far-fetched for a possible blog post, but the issue is authenticity. Who owns the name "Glenn Beck"? What counts as satire as opposed to defamation? What sorts of rhetorical gestures are acceptable in what contexts? In other words, if you make the suggestion that Glenn Beck committed a horrible crime, but couch that suggestion in a form of sarcasm easily recognizable to anyone familiar with cyberculture, have you sufficiently protected yourself against the charge of defamation?

I just got an IM from "AlmostACoho" with a random question. Turns out this is a bot run by Project Upstream (http://project-upstream.awardspace.com/), which collects AIM screennames and connects them via bots with fish in their names. In other words, you and someone else will each simultaneously get an IM from one of these bots, and then when you respond, your response will be forwarded on to the other party and posted under the name of the bot. So if I had responded to AlmostACoho, some other poor sap on the other end would have received my response, but it would look as if it came from some other kind of coho, trout, or salmon, such as WoolenCoho or BisexualTrout or something. And if they had responded back, I'd have gotten their response posted from AlmostACoho.

Compare pairs of Wikipedia articles: one useful to a normal person, another useful to a Wikipedia-editing weirdo. Which is more complete and more professional? Example pairs: "Knight" vs. "Jedi knight", "Modern warfare" vs. "Lightsaber combat," "Half-life" vs. "Half-Life 2", "John Locke" vs. "John Locke (Lost)", "Buzz Aldrin vs. Jean-Luc Picard", "Trail of Tears" vs. "Tears for Fears", "Military base" vs. "All your base are belong to us", "Real life" vs. "Second Life" ... and so on.
