At a meeting in Prague, the Inter­national Astronomical Union down­graded the status of Pluto from a full-blown planet to a mere ‘dwarf-planet.’

My Friend Evan

I don’t really know Evan Williams. His latest company, Odeo, is behind Twitter, a service that lets you relay small bursts of information about your location, mood, etc., to a group of friends. I added Evan as a friend and the updates started flowing: Eating a vegan scramble. I wonder if Ev is vegan. Exploring the Web’s seedy underbelly. Intriguing. Heading south in a van. Where is Ev going today? I am now hooked. Evan is my Tamagotchi.
