Oct Social and Blog Site Stats (USA)

The visitors stats for the top social networking stats and blogging sites in America have been released for October. Read it here

In line with keeping this blog local and international flavour, like biltong on a baguette, does anyone know where we can get these stats on SA usage?

AT&T being stung by a blogswarm

I picked up this story on Paul Gillin's blog. Never pass up the opportunity to join / contribute to a blogswarm when it's about massive companies being idiotic and greedy:

A blog swarm is developing at this very moment over AT&T's boneheaded decision to charge a California couple for a satellite dish they failed to remove from their home as they were fleeing the wildfires in California. Consumerist picked up the story, and it's been viewed more than 11,000 times at this writing. There are already over 600 diggs, just within the first couple of hours. You can see the video from a local news station here.

Thanks Paul!
