Radio Wish: When we have something from News Aggregation, that we Post + Publish as is or edited or with some of our remarks upon on our site, the act of publishing it the first time causes a ping on the referers of where ever we got the data from.  Perhaps if we revise the story, and republish, there goes another ping.  This would automate notification of who is using our stuff, to help expedite our interaction with each other.  Perhaps it could be in Preferences whether or not we want this happening. 2:22:44 PM

Radio Referer Wish:  I have previously stated a desire to get at something more than 24 hours ago, and sometimes think more about what kind of form I want it in, so that I can aggregate it into some kind of personal data base. Search engine hits ... what host sites are they using ... what text strings are they using ... give me the option of ignoring all the search engine hits and just list the real people Other webloggers - point me to WHERE on that web site the link to me came from, and to which of my pages it got directed. Well my latest thought on this topic is that perhaps we could have additional columns on the chart. Date time of 1st connecton hit out there Date time of last connection hit The above two datums could then tie into preferences of how far back we want our referers to be stored ... for example ... I might normally want to allow for me not looking at the data for 72 hours, then after I got my fill - push a button to get rid of everything that is over 24 hours old. I would like little boxes beside them ... kill all these search engine and spammer links from My personal referer review The mass public sites would still show the same kind of data we now have, but when I am looking at my referers, I am more interested in who is quoting me, and other people interests that are following the threads of those quotes and discussion.  Perhaps there are some other tools that I ought to be using to get a handle on this. I would like something at the very top of the referer list ... when by some miracle I have made it into the top 100 Ranking for the day ... let me know that factoid, so I only know to go look when in fact I am there 2:34:31 AM

PC Question: How do I get rid of this new hassle?  Every time I arrive at the News Aggregation page <http://127.0.0.1:5335/system/pages/news#250> up pops Security Warning (mislabeled advertisement) Do you want to install and run Macromedia Flash Player 6, a quick free download?  I select NO, then the next time I arrive at the News Aggregation page, there it is again.  This started this week, since I got the same thing when visiting one of the sites found in my referers.  I am not interested in downloading any more load onto my PC until it is obvious to me why I need this or that.  I have a clog problem as it is, without adding more baggage. 1:39:00 AM
