WallCloud : October 29th, 2008

01-14-2009: Sorry I've been away. I discovered a better way to trim out the news I don't care about. I'll be adding another step on the right - where I connect to google top stories, and REMOVE items that have large numbers of articles. Yep, I'm going to filter out all the junk you get to read everywhere else! The wallcloud will then be a great source for under-reported stories and discussions. What would you like to see? Email Me.
