I came across this page on Pingdom regarding the latest stats for Facebook and YouTube.

Facebook now has 600 million users worldwide, generating an estimated 770 billion page views each month.

Complementary skills, and knowing and trusting the others will do their part
Approximately the same skill level

Lets start going through that list in more detail, and today I...

Share your love – Flattr someone

In my signing-up frenzy a couple of weeks ago (I have one of those once every quarter just about) I signed up for Flattr, who are running a rather interesting concept.
