MyBlogLog starts logging all your social network activity

by Brad Linder Feb 29th 2008

You're on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, StumbleUpon, Digg, Flickr, and a thousand other social networking sites. But keeping up with your friends and contacts on each site could be a full time job. Or you could sign up for a single service that lets you view your contacts' activity on a single page.

FriendFeed is a service that launched last week, which does exactly that. But the service didn't get hog the spotlight very long, as Yahoo!'s MyBlogLog has launched a feature this week that lets members track their friends' activity streams.

Existing MyBlogLog members should notice the change right away. Your new profile page will feature all of your recent blogging activity. And if you've already added other social networking service to your profile, you should see updates for those as well. When you click on the "my neighborhood" button you'll see an activity stream with updates from your MyBlogLog members who use those services.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
