Marina Girl defined

Saw this on SFist: There is a hilarious description of the “Marina Girl” on Wikipedia. The definition is very elaborate. Here’s just a portion of it…

“…When a Marina Girl turns 30, as the majority of the population is, she goes from being known as a Marina Girl, aka Turf, and is now a “Cougar” [2]. A few places in the Marina with a high saturation of Cougars are Balboa Cafe, Cozmo’s, the California Wine Merchant, and the aforementioned Marina Safeway.”

The definition of the Marina Male is equally brutal:

“He usually wears the fashions found in Banana Republic, The Gap, or Ralph Lauren. Collared, stripey dress shirts, with varying patterned cuff usually worn tucked-into pants during the week are usually kept untucked on weekends (aka The Marina Party Shirt), in conjunction with a pair of casual Diesel Jeans, Seven, AG or True Religion jeans or zipper sweaters.”

My Yahoo gets AJAXy

It’s good to see Yahoo making some improvements to MyYahoo. They recently added the ability to drag & drop content. This is a standard feature on most of the new AJAX homepages. I’m not so sure where these new home pages (Netvibes, Zoozio, etc.) will be a year from now. I suspect that most of them will either be bought out by Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, etc. or will shut down due to a flimsy business model. I haven’t tried all of them but I’ve been very impressed with Protopage. All in all, the proliferation of these Ajax homepages is a good thing because they are pushing the bigger players to add more features, which ultimately benefits the users.
