Back Link of the Day
http://gadgets.im/2012/01/how-to-censor-your-twitter-avatar/
If you were paying any attention to the Internet yesterday, you know all of the hoopla surrounding SOPA and PIPA -- so I won't rehash it here. But I would like to thank Victor Root for referencing our coverage of these forays into legislative muckery in his post about "How to 'censor' your Twitter avatar." If you'd like to be mentioned as a Back Link of the Day, link to one of our posts on LockerGnome.com from your site and -- this is the important part -- tell us about it!

I live in seattle area too and all the houses around me have power then everyone else out of our neighborhood is out so were kinda lucky. and there was a bad ice storm that trees are falling over because of the ice

[lockergnome]

@AndrewDavidHernandez - Best of luck to you as things cool off heading into the evening hours. Stay warm.

what are the copyrights on youtube

[djmattryan]

@ninikb Thanks.

[NightyVaNe]

Well actually, I can't view a lot of the videos here on Youtube, because of the music used within the videos. Something about Youtube/Google and the organisation german organisation "Gema" not being able to negotiate with each other. Basically, Google doesn't wanna pay and so germans can't view the content because it's blocked by the Gema.. which sucks, to say the least.

@ShannonAlcorn $97/year is less than $9.99/month.

@MartinTerms We are exploring other payment options, though Google Checkout probably won't be one of them because it doesn't support subscriptions.
