Can somebody explain what <3 means? I’ve been seeing it in several different places and I don’t understand what it is.

A Good Place to Meet Co-Workers
October 3rd, 2007
I ran into the VP of Finance (the guy who signs my checks and expense reports) at Costco this weekend. Out of all people and places at which I think I’d want to run into co-workers, I think that was a pretty good one.
Keeping Track of Your Friends’ Blogs
October 1st, 2007
If you want to be able to track everyone’s blogs in one place (a la the old peeps page that I set up a while ago and killed off recently), go to Netvibes and create an account there. Netvibes is a personalized homepage tool that allows you to pull in things through RSS feeds among other things (it also has Jon Regul’s favorite thing on the Internet - the weather report). It’ll also do things like check your MySpace and Facebook activity so you don’t have to visit six billion sites to collect all of your news.
I used to diss Netvibes when it first came out because I had actually written my own personalized homepage system, but two things happened - a) I got too busy/lazy to update my own and b) Netvibes’ feature set improved quite a bit. Highly recommended now, and I use it multiple times per day. I have no idea how they are going to make money but use it while it lasts, I guess.
To get a feed on there:
a) on the left side, click “Add Feed”
b) put in the RSS feed link:
http://www.rightonbro.com/feed/
http://www.overactive-imagination.com/ramble/atom.xml
http://www.noiseinsidemyhead.com/feed/atom/
c) drag and drop the module on the page anywhere you want it.
It’s cool and fun!
