I have placed a Jaxtr button on the side of my blog. I like the idea of having a way for people to contact me with out giving out my phone and worrying about it being spammed (yes spam phone calls are on the rise). If anybody else has a Jaxtr account and wants to try it out please let me know, or better yet give it a try and call me.

I went ahead and signed up for an account on the new myFeedz, from Adobe labs, a social newspaper web application. After signing up and checking out my profile I noticed an API key. So I decided to go ahead and make a quick Flex application access some of the myFeedz API. This was pretty easily done with HTTPService and JSON (from the AS 3.0 libraries). You can return posts or tag clouds from the general myFeedz site or your own profile of...
