Baywords is another wonderful work from the Pirate bay guys, and it was one of my favorite services on the web. But unfortunately it was closed down for around an year (or maybe less) since they hit some problems and their servers were unable to handle the massive load.
Baywords is a revolutionary uncensored blogging platform. It is designed so that you can blog about issues without the worries if being shut down by the blogging service provider due to legal limitations. We have already written a detail intro about Baywords .
All I want to say is that I’m so happy to see Baywords resurrected and I hope it continues to play a major role in censorship-free blogging and also be an inspiration to other blogging providers to do the same.

Akismet is one of the most popular plug-ins for WordPress bloggers to fight against spam, and until now it never has any competitors.
But now there is a new technology and very much similar to Akismet called Defensio, well from the FAQ and what they have said about it in their website it looks very well to be the replacement for people like me, who do not want to sign up for a WordPress.com account just so that they get an API key to use Akismet.
In at first glance it has all the features of Akismet and you need to sign up for a Defensio account to get an API key so that you can keep track of your spam count and other customized settings.
What this has more is the spam sensitivity level option and the option to hide obvious spam.
I believe for sites getting huge spam counts these two options are very useful indeed, and unlike Akismet this highlights obvious spam so that user can go on skipping those and avoid reading them altogether thus making the job of sorting through spam a whole lot easier. There is also a checkbox to hide these obvious spam altogether from your view.
October 21, 2008 (Computerworld) Google Inc. has patched its Chrome browser to block a months-old bug that can be used to trick people into downloading and launching malicious code.
The fix has not been pushed out to most users, however.
The security researcher who reported the vulnerability, which involves a combination of the “carpet bomb” bug with another flaw disclosed in August, called the fix “enough for the time being” but said Google’s patch wasn’t the final word.

This is the best good news other than FireFox 3 RC2 for this month so far. Im a loyal fan of gravatar, and I’m indeed happy to tell you all that they do support transparent PNG and GIF gravatars now. A feature which was not available in the past. In the past any transparent area of a gravatar will be displayed as Black which was a major problem for people who wanted transparency.
According to Chris Pirillo from Gravatar Blog He said the following.
In their ever continuing battle to free the Internet, The Pirate Bay has now launched an uncensored blogging service, called Baywords. The service is intended to be a safe haven for bloggers who want to be able to write whatever they want, without being afraid to get shut down by their blog host.
The Pirate Bay is known for defending people?s right to freedom of speech on the Internet, and this is exactly what motivated them to start this new blogging service.
Brokep, one of the co-founders of the site, told TorrentFreak that the idea to start a blogging service came up when the weblog of one of his friends was taken down from Wordpress recently, for linking to copyrighted material.
Recently Lorelle brought up the issue of governments banning blog hosts like WordPress.com due to the mistake of a single blog or blogger. This is really unfair because due to the action taken against one blogger the whole blogging community is penalized. So we should create more awareness among Bloggers and share this news…
