Followup postings - how can we do that?

What's the protocol for posting about updates to previously linked sites that members might like to see? For example, SmashUp Derby has four new downloadable mp3's but somehow I don't think it's postworthy.

Congrats, you just did it. Usually it's posted in Metatalk.

UpdateFilter--we need it.

The lazy option for Matt would be to create a new metatalk category, and then link it off the sidebar. Hint hint.

Google, the popular search engine, now offers web-based email accounts (they're calling it Gmail; invite only right now) and I hear they're thinking about a maps thing to compete against Yahoo! and MapQuest. Interesting company. More info on that and their future IPO here.

(If you look through the old posts, it's amazing how many are essentially "look at Google's logo today".)

UpdateFilter - I like that idea a lot Amber. Matt, this makes total sense as many links end up being double posts merely because someone was trying to keep it current.

What magazine is it that runs the "what ever happened to..." column?

This is totally like a VH-1 WHERE ARE THEY NOW? special.

Actually, this week's Entertainment Weekly has a cover story on just that subject. It's depressing, is what it is.
