I’ve chosen it because of its technological design and its soft and attractive color combinations.

The horizontal space has increased from the old theme, allowing for larger images and widescreen videos to be embedded in posts. I have updated the YouTube videos in older posts with their widescreen versions, wherever these are available. I have also uncluttered the right-hand sidebar from the tag cloud and social networks icons, which I’ve moved to the bottom of the page, where there is more space.

Gravatars are also supported in comments. If you have a gravatar account (it’s free), your photo will appear automatically next to your comment.

Enjoy! ;)

At the moment I’m writing this post, electric car batteries have the lead with 30%. Considering the serious global energy and pollution problems, I’ve voted for this option too. However, I’m sure we’re going to see lots of new Social Web startups in 2009, including social search tools and new mash-ups of Web 2.0 services.

Here are the latest poll results:
