[Newspoetry] Grim Old Newspoetry Sadly Must Be Recycled

[Joe Futrelle]

I couldn't agree more.

Google is rapidly becoming the McDonald's of data management.

As for newspoetry, it's back up but limping right now ... navigation  
is broken. I just shelled out an obscene amount of money to  
webmasters.com to renew my hosting, only to find out that it's still  
crappy and can't deal with one account hosting multiple domains. I  
will move it to my new hosting provider next week and see if I can't  
get some of that $ back.
