Yesterday I retweeted a post by ReadWriteWeb concerning Yahoo’s announcement that they are closing down GeoCities this year. This was particularly sad news for me because GeoCities was where my first website was hosted. Within a day of getting the internet at home for the first time (On December 26th, 1995) I signed up an …

BlawgSearch to Go
The first project with Justia I mentioned on this blog was BlawgSearch, a free search engine that focuses on Legal blogs and podcasts. I’ve been hard at work with the rest of the Justia team on new improvements to BlawgSearch, which today include our new “Friend Search” system and a history of the top blawgs …
