One Awesome Website
Written by Rob 'n Mo from http://www.oibo.org on August 29th, 2008 | 11 Comments…ok, I haven’t posted an awesome website in a looooong time.
This is one site you simply must check out! One of the cool things about my BlackBerry Curve (well, all the BBs that I’ve had) is that you can sign up to VIIGO and download RSS feeds to your BB. I found this great site and have been reading it diligently for weeks now.
If you’re looking for a time out and some interesting trivia then check out…
This is one of the coolest sites I’ve come accross in a long time!
Here are just a few of the great posts…
From the interesting post of Percy Fawcett and The Lost City of Z, to something more macabre like 7 Famous Executioners or how about 10 Plundering Politicians (you ought to read about some of these despots antics, like Jean-Bédel Bokassa how crowned himself a King). I really enjoyed 7 Bizarre Unsolved Mysteries.
If you like something slightly off beat you could read about 6 Historic Figures That Were Celibate or for the more obscure and slightly (well, very) off beat 8 Historic Figures That Were Pederasts.
Regardless of what you like, I’m quite certain that you will enjoy reading http://ty.rannosaur.us!
Enjoy!

Yeah, they probably are. Everyone gets their information online now anyway. Just found your blog through Google, and I have to say I thoroughly enjoy it. I’ve subscribed and I can’t wait for your next post!

News papers will never completely die. There will never be a time where everyone is connected to the net for their news.

Natural Beef – be nice, don’t spam. Use your real name.
I think that we are headed to a society without newspapers or very limited usage of newspapers.
The BlackBerry, iPhone and other smart phones have all contributed to the demised of the newspaper. The newer netbooks are only adding to this.
I use my BB and Viigo almost exclusively. I subscribe to over 50 news groups from news about East Africa (Tanzania) to Canadian news, science and even Wired. With all that, why would I subscribe or purchase a newspaper?
I still subscribe to some magazines, because they add a different type of value. With magazines, not only am I interested in the stories but the advertising sometimes sparks ideas.
Newspapers are on their way out — if they want to continue to stay relavent, they need to evolve. Technology is making leaps and bounds – newspapers need to follow.

I think the day of the big newspaper corporations has gone. The internet is mobile now you can get it on your phone, at home or there is even wifi hotspots in most cities and cafe’s. I have a 10″ laptop which I take with me everywhere so i can just get an RSS feed of any news I require at the touch of a button or visit a social media site. Even my grandfather who is 72 gets the latest news from the BBC online all before its even gone to print.

I still like to read the newspaper on Sundays, my day off. I don’t think they will die off but newspaper are defiantly on the decline.

I hate the ink on my fingers – but admittedly, it is a nice way to spend a few leisurly hours. But with the cost of netbooks dropping, why not opt for something like that? It’s worth about a years subscription to a newspaper.
There is an idea – newspapers should offer online subscriptions and toss in a netbook to go with it…
