> Bret Taylor: The Maps team was excited to see all the ideas and feedback that hit blogs around the Web after Google Maps launched a couple weeks ago, and we've been listening: Maps now supports Safari and Opera. Keep the feedback coming...

> Darren Barefoot: Nooked is a client of mine. I mention client and client's projects (if you get my meaning) from time to time when I think they'll be of interest to my dear readers. Nooked has launched a directory of corporate RSS feeds. Basically, it's a Yahoo-esque Yellow Pages (if you'll pardon the mixed metaphor) of RSS feeds from companies. It attempts to answer the question "where can I get RSS feeds"?

> Alwin Hawkins: Right off the bat, let me say that I favor talking openly about your health problems on the web, online writing, and free speech in general. There's much to be learned from people who share the problems in their lives, the process of working through those issues, and reaching resolution - or not, as the case may be. That being said, I support the position of United Network of Organ Sharing and the American Society of Transplant Surgeons that people should not solicit for organs through web sites, bill boards, or the mass media. There are good reasons for this policy, and people who are quick to pull the trigger on what seems to be a heartless decision by uncaring bureaucrats should step back and get a little perspective on a very big problem...

> Denise Howell: In October, Evan Williams asked "Next?," and today (technically tomorrow in this time zone), John Markoff and the New York Times provide the answer, For a Start-Up, Visions of Profit in Podcasting: "Odeo (pronounced OH-dee-oh) means to be podcast central - an all-in-one system that makes it possible for someone with no more equipment than a telephone to produce podcasts and also makes it possible for users to assemble custom playlists of audio files and copy them directly onto MP3 audio players." Fantastic news, good luck Ev!! (They may be Clueless in the valley, but SF's not a bad drive if you hit traffic right, and there's no question the food's better.) The NYT article also touches on Audible's podcasting plans, discussed more fully by Paid Content and Steve Rubel.
