Trial and Terror

Kevin and Jen and Michelle perhaps had noticed the change in my sidebar last week. The spam had gotten to be too much for my poor tagboard to take, so I removed it. I know, I know. You really wanted to see those three-per-hour messages for “young gay twinks” mixed in with my complaints about broken photos. Sorry.

And then no one had ever taken advantage of the “private chat with Prospero” Meebo thingee I also had in the sidebar. In fact, sometimes when someone visited Word Oyster and I was logged onto Meebo, I would try to start a conversation with them. And they would run away! Immediately. So I took that down today as well.

However, not to leave us without our toys, I’ve put up another new Meebo widget. If you look at the bottom of this page, you’ll find a Word Oyster chat room. That’s all I can say. I have no idea whether it will get used, whether it will be a mess, anything. I should be there on and off during the day, but definitely late at night. And if I’m not there and you find someone else who is, be friendly. Be sure to change your nickname for chatting from “Guest” to something else. And play nice, OK?
