The great debate is about when the birth years for Generation X begin: 1961? or 1966?
Some say there's a "Generation Jones" sandwiched between the Boomers and Xers. We set up this poll to let people vote and discuss the hot issue.
A recommended blog on Generation X is from Joe Moody here: http://www.joemoo...

Hey guys and gals, Fred here with another tip on how you too, actually anyone, can be a web guru, without having to be a tech-geek.
Ever been a member of a forum or message board online? most have.
Forums are like online hangouts, where people with common interests share info and get to know each other.
I often visit this music forum where I get the latest info and tour dates on my favorite band. Then there's a webmaster frum where I keep up on the web's latest secrets.
And here's a secret about forum hosting, a forum can actually get your more traffic to your website and higher ranking in the search engines, as they increase your number of inbound links coming to your web site.
Believe it or not, you don't have to be a techy at all to start your own forum. There's really just 2 simple Steps:
1. Choose some Forum software you like.
2. Choose a good Forum Host, who makes your forum accessible online.
I'll try to make these 2 steps as basic as possible, with my own recommendations.
Step 1.
It's important to chose forum software that has all the features you and your forum members will want, like the ability for members to share files, pictures, create opinion polls, set Calendar events, instant message and more.
One forum software that does this, and is also free, is drum roll .... Simple Machines Forums, or SMF.
The great part about Simple Machines is the creators are always improving the software, and adding new features, based on input from a whole community of cool people who have their own forums. This means Simple Machines already has most the features today's users are looking for.
There's a site where you can try a live demo of latest Simple Machines version, the one I link to is hosted by Online Institute.
And that brings us to the second step: getting a good host.
I mention Online Institute because they are a pioneer in forum hosting. They were around before Google and Youtube, and continue to do a reliable job installing and customizing forums. They give you a web address for your forum, so you get your own domain that starts with www. Also, unlike a lot of forum hosts, Online Institute can actually help if you have any questions along the way, because they've been doing it for so long. And from my experience, they're courteous too, which is always cool.
A decent forum host is usally a lot cheaper than they typical cell phone bill, usually about 10 bucks a month, give or take, which is the only fee you need to pay if you go with free forum software like Simple Machines, But if your forum haoens to take off like many have, and become a thriving online community, maybe donate a little back over at the site who makes the free software: http://www.Simple...
If you feel like getting your feet wet, go on over to http://www.online... and click the "Forum Hosting" link, they also have the free demo.
So that's it. Good software, a good host who does all the technical work, and you too can start a forum, whether you use it to blog, connect with friends, family, business colleagues, or just to start your own unique and interactive home on the web. And most importantly, don't forget to have fun. It's your forum!
PS: Online Institute also offers private chat software you can try for free here:
http://www.cafe.o...
more details on the private chat hosting are here:
http://www.online...
Note this tutorial uses the term Forum but some people refer to them as Message Boards or Message Board hosting.
Enjoy Your Forum!

A British man saw something interesting while browsing Google Ocean, he saw what appeared to be a grid on the sea floor near the location where it's rumored the legendary Atlantis once thrived as a naval power.
Turned out it was just a sonar blip ... or do we have the makings of a good conspiracy theory?
Google Ocean is part of the Google Earth project, fun schtuff!

At Least Sailors spend their own money! President Obama signed the economic stimulus bill into law, making this the American government's second epic attempt to bail out the economy after years of over-consumption that produced a housing and debt bubble larger than the titanic.
While the real Obama announced that Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is preparing a new strategy for reviving our financial system, and urged the swift passage of an American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan, Americans are wondering if the economic stimulus, our financial bail-out, will work.
In this Bail Out video we here from Congressman Ron Paul, Obama and even go back to when Bush first sounded the alarm. Will the recession become and depression, based largely on the government panicking which stifled consumer spending?
From http://www.politi... - the new PolitiChill is where no issue or candidate is off-limits, from conservative to liberal, from Sarah Palin, Joe Biden, Mitt Romney, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barack Obama, Mike Huckabee, John McCain, Hillary Clinton, Rudolph Giuliani, Dennis Kucinich, Bill Richardson. We also spoof the way the media sensationalizes things, whether its CNN, Fox News, MSNBC News, and CNN Headline News, ABC News, CBS NEWS, NBC News, as well as the hilarious personalities of Bill O'Reilly (OReilly), Brian Williams, Anderson Cooper, Wolf Blitzer, Tim Russert, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Kieth Olbermann, Glenn Beck, Laura Ingram, Joe Scarborough of Morning Joe, you name it. Let the circus that is election 2008 begin. Republican or Democrat, Independent or Libertarian, Politi-Chill is the lighter side of politics. Look out Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, Saturday Night Live, and other comedians, it's time to get your Political Chill on.

A satire of the media's infatuation with Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, after her run for Vice President. Will they every get enough?
While President Elect Obama tours the White House with Bush, tries to choose a puppy and a staff, the media remains focused on Palin's wardrobe and will she run in 2012.
