Pagans Meet Up. Meetup.com helps people who share an interest meet face-to-face. Pagans use it. Under the topic of religion, 302 Pagan groups contain 20,318 members. 21,636 more are waiting for a Pagan group they can join. Pagans meet up “to make friends, share lore and exchange powerful knowledge about spells, witchcraft and magick.”

Interestingly, in the entire world there are only 2 Methodist meetup groups, with 4 members. (Of course, Methodists meet up through church.)

But Think Before You Speak! Call Jott from your cell phone to leave messages for yourself and others. The messages get transcribed into text and emailed or left as text on people’s cell phones. The audio is also emailed. This may actually be worth using. (Via Jim’s Random Thoughts.)

Then Explain Country Music. North Carolina State University estimates that the world population is now more urban than rural. (Via Slashdot.)

Meh. According to UrbanDictionary.com:

Indifference; to be used when one simply does not care.

A: What do you want for dinner?
B: Meh.
