I've had several live bookmarks for firefox for a few days now, and they are informative, keep me up-to-date, and a little bit distracting! I love being able to keep on top of people's blog posts, like Joey's-whose skype info I now have. The two news site I've got keep me very busy. I find I don't just check my multiple email accounts, d2l sites and blogs. Now I scan the list of news articles at CNN and BBC news. Because of these live bookmarks I find myself more informed about what is going on in the world. I enjoy the dichotomy that these two sometimes provide. While CNN is concerned with Karr and the JonBenet Ramsey case, the BBC has more global headlines like the recent activity in Israel.
However, I have to admit to a little voyeuristic side-trip I took from the serious news.
This case involving Natascha Kampusch, an Austrian girl who was kidnapped 8 years ago is fascinating. She escaped, and shortly after, her captor killed himself by jumping in front of a train. It appears now that Natascha may have Stockholm syndrome. So, at least in my case, it looks like sensationalist journalism can grab me no matter what country it comes from!
