*	The new version of the popular blogging platform, [Blogger][2], is out of beta. [According][1] to Google: "the old version of Blogger is not dead, but it would like to retire for a little while... maybe go to Hawaii or play World of Warcraft all day?"

*	The Wall Street Journal [reports][3] that Ticketmaster has bought a 25 percent share of the social music site [iLike][4]. Ticketmaster hopes to use links on iLike to <strike>rip off consumers</strike> sell tickets. I really enjoy iLike, hopefully Ticketmaster won't screw it up.

*	"It's Pat" as a ringtone? Apparently yes, for Cingular customers anyway. Cingular has [partnered with Saturday Night Live][5] to offer multimedia downloads, including video clips and "original material produced with the mobile screen in mind." And yes, famous sketches as ringtones.

*	Popular social music site [Pandora][6] has added some [new social features][7] like listener profiles with musical preferences and listener searches.

*	The Free Software Foundation [launched][8] a new anti-Microsoft website called BadVista.org earlier this week. The FSF claims that BadVista.org has a "twofold mission of exposing the harms inflicted on computer users by the new Microsoft Windows Vista and promoting free software alternatives that respect users' security and privacy rights."
