Good Morning All,

I'd like to give this Yahoo! thingy a chance. Pleasse consider me for an invite.

As mentioned above, I also like MobileRead for it's all-encompassing gadget/technology updates, and for it's lack of stupid flame wars. I really like when there are tons of new items on the Frontpage so I can leran about the technology that's important to other people. The other day, an item I posted made the Frontpage. I felt like I won the lottery. I like that, even though I'm a Palm guy and a Mac guy, there are items about other OS's so that I can see what I'm missing or to give me clues on finding an equivalent product in my chosen OS('s).

I like the weekly synopsis to let me catch up on what I've missed when I'm away for a while.

I like the games arcade so that I can get beaten mercilessly at Hexxagon.

I notice that you've been experimenting with different Google ad's and their placement. I wasn't a big fan of that, but I suppose you have to get some revenue to keep the site up.

I like that there are links to other sites so that I can see what's going on on those sites without having to visit them (unless there's an article that I want to read.)

I like that people are willing to express their opinions without fear of reproach and that serious and intense conversations can elicit the best arguments from opposing sides.

I like that the iSilo list has introduced me to several different mobile sites as well as the wonderful world of configuring iSilo, leading me to many happy hours of iSilo reading on my Zodiac2.

I like that I can read the responses to different threads in my e-mail instead of having to log into MR every single time.

So, there is more to like for me than not. I'm happy when I get responses and when there's new and exciting news on the Frontpage. I'm bored with the internet when there's no new items on the Frontpage.
