Bloglines just made their first stupid mistake. Yesterday, they released the Image Wall, which displays a grid of dynamically updated images culled from blog posts. Not the blogs from your feed, but from all over the web. Before you enter the Wall, you must affirm that you are of porn-viewing age, and that you won't blame Bloglines if you get your feathers in a ruffle. And for good reason. My first thought when I saw the wall was "so?" There's little you can do besides mark an image as "may offend", and little point past the initial mesmerizing affect of the flashy grid. My second thought was that something like this would happen: I just had to make my students unsubscribe from the Bloglines accounts I had them set up two days before this idiotic new feature came out, and had them go to Netvibes instead. Filtering would improve the Wall's utility, but honestly, what's it doing there? If it doesn't add, it subtracts. The Wall of Images adds nothing useful to Bloglines--an application known for its bare-bones, only-what-you-need ethic. At best, it's a glittery toy. As it stands, it's a kick in the reputation, and it leaves me feeling a little ickier about an application I've used and enjoyed since it became available.

As you probably figured out from the picture upload yesterday, I have finally purchased a cell phone (A Motorola SLVR, for those who care about such things). Cricket convinced me. I hate being locked into stuff, and with them, I'm not. So we'll see. I may hate it after a month. But for now, I'm very much enjoying snapping pics and sending them to flickr or the blog. I am also using the phone to take voice notes, which may replace my little notebook that I carry. Again, we'll see. No doubt the feature I'll use the least is the phone.
