What's the best way to get in contact with all the Brisbane based hackers so we can get the scene off the ground?

I think that you have identified the biggest flaw with Microsoft's approach. They are also susceptible to Google "poisoning" the well, by creating a bot-net to provide fake data to Bing.

It would be great to be able to use my Google account to flag sites that I want excluded from search results. Don't want to see eHow? Click. Don't want SO clones? Click. Google could then use this data to help identify sites that "spam", mu

We host our company blog on tumblr via a subdomain. So far the experience has been "ok", and considering we haven't paid a cent, I can't really complain about value for money. My biggest problems with Tumblr's outage is this: It would be ni
