On the content side, another small beef -- MetBlogger Morey posts a letter critical of KRON 4's coverage of a recent prostitution sting, and Brian at the Bay Area is Talking posts the reporter's response. Schlomo at Echoplex Park volunteers to help out with advice if you're thinking of becoming a videoblogger. And gaming glamourpuss Kat Hunter has decided to start podcasting.

Evan Williams points out a cool voicemail service to help the homeless find work and services -- anyone over at Project Homeless Connect listening? Ted, Molly and friend Tina have founded Hip Hop Anyonmous, "a support organization to help those who are fed up with rap shows," after a recent MF Doom debacle. Jamison points out that the "Bareback Mountain" joke was old a few months ago, and El Left Malo wonders who the tweener set will fall in love with on the Giants after the departure of JT Snow.
