The ultimate benefit and beauty of a blog is that it provides a flexible platform that allows anyone to spontaneously ventilate their thoughts into the cyberspace. Of course this advantage is lost when you spend your entire weekend thinking about what would be the most proper announcement of creating a new database table that will for some time be a quiet listener of the stories and thoughts of your extraordinary (or mundane – depends on many factors, especially the point of view) life.
I conjured up and quickly dismissed my first idea shortly after waking up this morning. The RSS reader served me the portion of the news that had happened since I went to bed the previous night and the main stories on every blog and news server obviously belonged to the failed negotiation talks between Microsoft and Yahoo!. What a wonderful opening would it be if I devoted this space to the analysis of Yahoo’s stubborn behavior that will probably prove as lethal to the company! But the last week’s coordinated attempt of a few to point at my unconventional messages spread through the Facebook status field raised some flags. So no Microsoft-Yahoo deal for now.
