I’m not really sure about the details behind this issue, but it seems to be one of the most important things Congress can find to focus on.

It looks like a new civil war is starting in Lebanon. It would be great if Obama and Clinton could talk about how they would address this, instead of arguing over who is more appealing to white, high-school graduates over sixty in West Virginia.

I can remember waking up sometime in the mid-Sixties to the sound of my sister screaming, because she had just heard on the radio that George Harrison had gotten married. This morning I saw a news item that Scarlett Johansson is engaged. I thought of screaming, but didn’t think my wife would appreciate the joke.

Movies have long been a welcome distraction from tough economic times. Iron Man may be just what the public needs to get the summer started. I just hope Hillary doesn’t have a walk-on appearance.

The final phase of the 3.0 beta period began yesterday with the release of paid accounts. These accounts make Grazr much more powerful:

You can create an unlimited number of streams that merge and filter multiple feeds. Each stream can be viewed in our widget or used as a normal feed in any other feed tool, such as Google Reader. The feed for a stream can be viewed an unlimited number of times in our widgets or any other tool.

Streams can contain many more feeds. Free accounts are limited to 50 feeds, but paid accounts can merge and filter hundreds of feeds, and the highest level account has no limit on the number of feeds you can merge into a single stream.

Streams in free accounts only return 50 items, but paid accounts can display up to 300 items as the result of merging and filtering feeds.

Paid accounts add historical storage of feeds. Feeds normally contain a limited number of items, usually about 15 to 20. Paid accounts store all the items from a feed in our database, and make them available for merging and filtering. The highest level account has unlimited historical storage, so you can go back and find an item by date, keyword and media type long after it is no longer available in the physical feed.

Private Grazr files have been requested by lots of users, and paid accounts now deliver them. There are several levels of privacy available to all paid accounts. You can hide files from everyone else while you work on them. You can password protect individual files, so only people you give the reading password can view them. You can also add a reading password to an entire account, so only people who know that password can view any files. Once a password is applied to any Grazr reading list, it protects any widget created from that file. This means that you can post a widget on a public web page that only displays its contents to someone who enters the password.

Paid accounts have a 30-day free trial period, so you can try out these new features with no risk. If you cancel your paid account within 30 days, you will not be charged anything. We have lots of additional paid features under development that will be added over the coming months, including printing to PDF files, widget usage statistics, and an API that lets you create reading lists, widgets and streams from any programming language. When these features are added, they will be available in existing paid accounts for no extra charge.

We are still providing all of our older Grazr.com features free of charge. You can create an unlimited number of readings lists, host them on our site, and create an unlimited number of widgets for your own Web pages for no charge. We intend to keep all free features exactly the same as they have always been.
