Is it time for a directory of weblogs?

I just read a great article in the Boston Globe about blogging. The piece closes with an idea that's been much on my mind as the "domain expert" weblogs have started showing up. I think it's time to start a new directory of weblogs, start really small, and gather links to weblogs based on their expertise. This is a perfect Lawrence project (which I'll start). Back in a few minutes. 8:38:11 AM Google It!

Are desktop web servers cool or not?

A few days ago Mark Pilgrim was railing about how Radio is the wrong app because it's a desktop web server. We think desktop web servers are great. Now he says he likes Amphetadesk. Unless I'm missing something, it's also a desktop web server. So Mark, which is it? Do you like desktop web servers or not?

Sam Ruby says he doesn't want to get caught in the shrapnel. Coool, me neither. So let's not have any. Mark has been saying things about Radio that I don't think will stand up to scrutiny. That's OK. My job is to call him on it, and that may expose the differences and similarities between various products, architectures and philosophies.

I've been saying that weblogs are better than the old model of disseminating information about products because it cuts out the middlemen. Mark is a knowledgable person, he has information to share, and that's good. But he's also a human being, and can make mistakes. And he has opinions that some may share and others don't. Personally I think users can be trusted with managing their own information. And I think history is on my side on that one.
