Do Follow Blogs are blogs that have removed the "no follow" tags. This means that when you leave a comment on their blog, it will appear on search engines as a backlink. Do Follow Blogs are a great way to obtain backlinks, increase traffic and your Google page rank. Of course, this shouldn't be abused. Be aware that even if bloggers have decided to make their blogs "follow" your comments, they have the right to delete any comment that is purely spam. So please, write a meaningful comment or risk being deleted. Join discussion...

At first glance, it would appear that the citizens of the USSR had more rights than their American counterparts. Stalin's constitution guaranteed the people the right to work, the right to rest and leisure (no overtime), maintenance in old age (Social Security), right to education, economic equality, right to form unions, right to privacy, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of the press. Unfortunately, the constitution doesn't explain exactly how these freedoms are guaranteed. Join discussion...

If you do not have a Google, Yahoo, or AIM Account, Google Friend Connect allows you to use any service which supports OpenID to sign-in and utilize social features on sites with Google Friend Connect enabled. The nice thing about logging in with a decentralized single OpenID on Google Friend Connect enabled sites and other OpenID supported sites, you don’t need to create a new account. OpenID is a good compliment to the traditional login and account system, whereas it eliminates password management for sites supporting OpenID logins. Nevertheless, your privacy is respected when using Open ID. According to GFC's privacy policy, "if you use an OpenID account to sign in to Google Friend Connect, Google will not receive the information you supplied your identity provider when you created your account."

Johnny Eck was born without legs along with a normal twin brother (the first reported case of foetal cannibalism?). Johnny learned to walk about on his hands and he could paint, although the latter is hardly impressive since legs aren't essential. He is one of the most famous of all freaks, and starred in the movie Freaks. Join discussion...
