* Wikipedia as a virus platform -- German hackers exploited the anyone-can-edit feature of Wikipedia to spread the blaster worm. The hackers added a note to the existing page on the Blaster Worm with a link to a "fix" which actually downloaded the worm. Wikipedia quickly changed the page. [via [Tech2][2]
* [Meebo][3], the web-based IM client, has announced its 1.0 release. New features include custom skins, drag-and-drop groups, and "pop-out," a feature that opens your chat session in a new window. [via [Mashable][4]]
* [WhoToTalkTo][5] is a new job search tool built around the idea of referrals. It's a simple but potentially helpful concept, post about places you know that are hiring and see posts by others. [via [Lifehacker][6]
* Fox Interactive announced a new desktop/browser widget platform this morning. The service, going under the name [SpringWidgets][7], offers customized news feeds, weather and more. The desktop version is currently limited to Windows. [via [TechCrunch][8]]
* Technorati has released a new "[State of the Blogosphere][9]" report
which claims, among other things, to now be tracking 57 million blogs.
