There’s a new page on the ‘Messenger Plus!’ site called Get the Facts. Anyone who spreads false rumours about this excellent piece of software should be directed there.
Another great site: The Forbidden Library – Banned and Challenged Books. Find out why some tried to censor such shocking material as 1984 (“pro communist”), Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (“portraying animals and humans on the same level”), Anne Frank (“a real downer”), The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (because it doesn’t adhere to “Christian values”?!?) and The Lorax, by Dr. Seuss (“criminalizes the foresting industry”).
Yup, you guessed it folks. It’s an American site. “Land of the free!” (Those will be my last quotation marks for today, I assure you.)
According to Google, they’ve increased the number of pages they crawl to over 8 billion. I wonder though – how many blog posts does this include? 
Talking of blog posts and search engines, I’m debating whether or not to try and implement so-called ‘fancy URLs’ for this blog. Apparently, search engines aren’t too fond of php, but since the weekend I’ve become a big fan!
More Google trivia – the just-released Firefox 1.0 uses a specially branded Google as the default home page.
But best Google news of all award goes to this: Gmail is going to support POP3! Fantastic news! And it’s very interesting that it comes soon after Hotmail is going to ditch its free support for it. Webmail wars eh?
