I like this new Facebook app from the New York Times, as described over at the Read/Write Web. New questions every day that then link back to the story in the online paper, driving traffic back to their site (and improving advertising impressions). They’ve been pushing the app out via email groups and the like, […]

IMG_7171.JPG, originally uploaded by RachelC. I took a bus trip down to Niagara Falls today. A wet trip on the Maid of the Mist to get close to the falls, definitely a trip to take. An easy experience, no queues or anything for me, although I think I got there before the school groups as […]

View from bar, originally uploaded by RachelC. Last night I went to 230 5th Avenue where they have a gorgeous rooftop bar with this view of the Empire State Building.

Can anyone take a look and see what I’m doing wrong. My search does not seem to search – if I use the term Twitter it does not pull up my recent post about Twitter. And the site does not display correctly on IE7 (and I think 7) in that the rightest sidebar falls off […]
