correct. get another coffee.

coffee, I'll raise a cup to that!

shoes? I'm still waiting for the coffee to perk. I have to think on this question some more, lizstrauss ...excellent question, though

lizstrauss, good question, will soon see ads that follow what we plurk?

I find it interesting that such a fun site has made me less snarky about the term Web 2.0

you can;t
