Pilgrims Picks for August 15

If it’s snowing where you are, could you send some my way?

I just managed to get these stories to the blog, before my keyboard melted.

Google web browser rumors are surfacing again. Nothing concrete, just speculation.
If you’re a user of blogging platform Movable Type, you’ll be happy to know that MT4 has left beta.
Dave Winer has some evidence to suggest that Facebook might be opening up the walled garden of data. (via)
Instead of listening to negative reviews on Yelp, one coffee shop is banning Yelpers from entering. Probably not a smart move.

It’s not actually snowing here, perhaps in the mountains of Chile, but it sure as …. is raining VERY hard, has turned comparatively cold and is very windy as well. Want some? Just visit the UK in mid-summer!

Thanks for the Yelp article. I find it hard to believe that someone would do that. How would you discern a Yelper from a customer anyways? I think it only encourages more negative reviews and puts a much worse light on this coffee shop.
