I’ve been using Radio UserLand for a couple of days now, mainly as a place to post bits of design or Mac-related news that I happen to stumble across. Before using Radio, I would jotted down a quick chicken-scratchy note on a scrap of paper or drag-and-dropped a bookmark to my desktop. Neither of these techniques led to a very efficient method of perusing these sites and articles at a later date. Radio allows me to very quickly save, annotate, and categorize these links. No more scraps of paper lost to the whim of my physical workspace (a very timely concern considering all of the software documentation that has been scattered about of late). And no more vexingly named shortcuts metaphorically littering my metaphorical desktop either. I may eventually add a permanent link to the splorp . radio site if the usefulness continues. There’s no sense keeping this all to myself, right? And speaking of news that I happened to stumble across, this little note regarding the performance of Radio UserLand when using classic Mac OS and Internet Explorer explains one of the pains of ownership I’ve been running into. It also explains why Summary is so sluggish when I crunch server logs locally. It does not explain, however, why typing command-shift-zero puts my Mac to sleep.
