49media

Wow!

I was searching my past posts for something or other — but different from the search before — on Google last night and came upon this website, "a magazine for weblog media."

OK, well and good, but when the page I opened from Google was the one pictured above, I was speechless.

Go here to see how my page in their "magazine" looks at the moment.

Very cool.

If you like the thumbnail accompanying the post you can click on it to read it.

On their site, booboo — not by clicking the screenshot above.

Sheesh.

Where was I?

Oh, yes — 49media and what it is.

It would thus seem a visual alternative to text searching and deciding on the basis of, say, a headline and an excerpt, ala RSS, whether or not to read the whole thing.

I was amazed to see that they've got tons of my posts going all the way back to April of this year.

I counted — no, not one by one; I made a rough estimate, OK? Gimme a break — and would guess there are about 1,200 there.

Almost every single one.

Very, very interesting way of getting a feel for what a blog or website is about — at least, one that features photos.

I will keep an eye on this concept.
