God, there's some crap around on the internet. Most of it forming the majority content of the majority of blogs out there. I can't believe people don't believe it's not butter!
Take this blog (entry), I stumbled accross today. This guy is seemingly wetting his pants at the news that Coca-Cola are going to start using short URL's. Now I'm not quite sure which aspect of this "story" is supposed to be interesting (in the sense of making me want to jump into his blog hole) but all this Next Big Thing talk of short urls did give me an inspired idea: short filenames!
Get this... your computer's operating system could use the same concept for it's file system! Instead of really long names for folders and files, you could restrict everything to, say, 8 charachters, with perhaps 3 charachters to identify the type of file! Is that not genius?!? Instead of cumbersome filenames like "Mediengruppe Telekommander - Die ganze Kraft einer Kultur - 07 - was sie schon immer über die mediengruppe wissen wollten.mp3", you'd have "MTKGKK07.MP3". I think I'll write to Bill Gates and Steve Jobs about that, could that be The Next Big Thing???

The astute of you may have noticed that this post has nothing whatsoever to do with the overall blog topic. That's because you can only write so much about how to get rich quick and I don't want to shoot my load and write about it too soon!
