We must be getting closer to Halloween, since we have death and undead on our minds. In our 3-D Internet section, we have people living out their lives in robotic forms. In our Tech-no-tronic section, we have the ability to will our Twitter account to someone after we die (could this end up causing a bit of Ghost Tweeting?). In our Win-A-Rooni section, we have Microsoft Windows’ attempt at rebirth with Windows 7 and house parties. And finally, in our Social Networking section, ma.gnolia comes back from the dead with a new invite-only social bookmarking tool. I think it’s time to play with the undead and head over to World of Warcraft!
