Use of 'text speak' on forums and blogs (Rant post!)
It's on the increase, no doubt about it. Countless threads on forums, and posts on blogs are cropping up now and its really starting to get on my wick! I think its lazy, hard to read and just plain daft. It is becoming socially acceptable to use, as it seems more and more people these days are using it. I'll freely admit to using it on mobile phones... text messages cost me 10p a go, so it's prudent...
Wierd Al - White and Nerdy

I know he's been knocking out songs and albums for years - he's had some corkers, with Eat it and Jurassic Park (frightening in the dark) so I may share a few more - seeing as I've just installed Scott...
Gabbly.com - Online chat with a difference
Just checking out site stats for uk-mkivs , and under referral conversions I noticed a load of referrals from a service called Gabbly.com - Had a look and was suprised to see its a live chat service that lets you browse a site, while an active chat channel box is open. It groups users around a common subject (the site name is the group) so you can talk live about cars etc. while browsing the forums...
