Denise Howell: We recorded my first IT Conversations show last Wednesday, many thanks again to Cory Doctorow, Robert Scoble, and Marty Schwimmer for sharing their thoughts and insights about Google's AutoLink. I'm hoping the show will be up this week, but Doug Kaye is among the lucky folks attending ETech so we'll have to see if his multitasking abilities are up to the task. (In the meantime, don't miss the recently posted audio of Cory at Web 2.0.) We did come up with a name for the series: "Sound Policy." As with the first show, I hope to focus on the places where technology and society collide in ways that can present new, unique, or difficult problems under existing and developing law...[Bag and Baggage] 7:50:37 PM Link
Eric Case & Steve Jenson: We just pushed an updated version of Blogger’s Atom API live, and wanted to post about it here to spread the word. Aside from using standard widely-supported technologies like HTTP and XML, we've added a few new things:
- Basic HTTP authentication over SSL for added security
- Strong internationalization support
- Documentation!

Don Park: OPML is a simple, widely used, yet often misunderstood, XML format created by Dave Winer. IMHO, misunderstandings stem from overexposure to traditional ways of using XML. I must admit, I also laughed at OPML when I first looked at it years ago. But when I cocked my head (a technique anyone can learn from their dogs), it began to make a lot of sense. This is what I saw...[Don Park’s Daily Habit] 2:04:25 PM Link
Matthew Rothenberg: I swear that sometime soon I'm actually going to re-focus my blogging energies on Apple’s wonderful products instead of Apple’s unpleasant legal efforts. I’m still thumb-wrestling rhetorically over the latter—just this morning, I’ve been neglecting my kids to take my own perspective on the road over at Slashdot, where an interesting discussion has cropped up in light of Think Secret’s report that Apple will officially unveil Mac OS X 10.4 “Tiger” on April 1 and ship the new release April 15...[Rothenberg’s Mac Enterprise] 2:01:36 PM Link
Steve Gillmor: Sean Gallagher may not have coined the term, but his early use of the phrase Blogging for Food to describe my old CRN blog continues to resonate. While most bloggers don't derive direct income from their sites (save for some Google bucks,) they certainly take advantage of viral marketing, brand management, and the virtual equivalent of a pan-handler’s pasteboard sign on 25th and Lincoln...[Steve Gillmor’s Blogosphere] 1:56:04 PM Link
Rogers Cadenhead: Mark Pilgrim’s half-year search for a hobby that doesn't involve electricity appears to have been as fruitless as O.J. Simpson's hunt for the “real killers.” Pilgrim, who’s being Michael Corleoned back into blogging on IBM’s new PHP weblog, has recently released a script for GreaseMonkey, the Firefox plug-in for editing web content a la autolink. The script removes everything but links on sites published by Robert Scoble. Pilgrim also has released a new open source beloved butler that does to Google what it wants autolink to do to the rest of the Web. Like Winer Watcher, Pilgrim's new ScobleFucker is another meticulously programmed fuck-you that could be rewritten to serve a useful, non-malicious purpose. But as he'd probably ask, where's the fun in that?[Workbench] 1:47:47 PM Link
David Sifry: It's been 5 months since my first presentation on the State of the Blogosphere at the Web 2.0 conference, which I later posted in parts. A lot has happened, and its time for an update on what's going on...[Sifry's Alerts] 1:55:20 AM Link
