Regarding the RT Button: do you copy-paste the javascript per post or is it a one-time install only, say you only paste it on the About Me box and then it already works for all posts?

Thanks.

The RTbutton I have chosen   has been designed by backtype*. The number 10 being the current number the link has been tweeted. To tweet a link, you only have to...

Academics researchers are Selfish, Paranoid

And definitively a strong jealousy of being surpassed by colleagues...

Bye bye Nabaztag?
It seems that violet’s financial health - the company behind Nabaztag- is going bad. According to Le Journal du Geek blog (french), violet filed for bankruptcy. This means, if no money, no servers will be running, our Nabaztags and mirrors will be dead forever :( Unless my dearest Open Source geeky friends developp an “open nabaztag”. What do you think? You can save hundred...
