Journalistic Rules
Tonight, as I was going through my news aggregator, I stumbled into some filth from a site that I had previously subscribed to because of other topics. The filth I got was so bad that it will make me question anything else I get from that individual on any subject.
I've posted this before: The Constitution’s First Amendment allows the media to print or say almost anything. Journalism’s First Principle should require that the media be scrupulous in deciding what that will be. It's from Warren Buffett's 2000 letter to shareholders.
New found personal publishing freedoms ought to be subject to this same principle!

There's not an index anywhere...
for all the many weblogs that exist today. Wouldn't it be great to do a search on a subject and get only the weblogs that have X% of the posts on that subject?
Weblogs and Blogging: "In just one month, January 2002, some 41,000 people created new weblogs using Blogger." Wow! [From the Desktop of Dane Carlson]

A new blogging company
As covered in Microcontent News, Nick Denton, co-founder and former CEO of Moreover (not to mention venerable British blogger) has announced his new venture, which is going to address, in his words, the "need to make weblogs more accessible: to turn them from a cult phenomenon into mainstream media, without corrupting the form." Of course, it'll only be an 80% company. [EVHEAD]
Why is it that every technology winds up saturated with competitors? I guess everyone's got a "better idea."

Happy Birthday, Dave
Sorry this comes so late. I've been in Huntsville and Atlanta today. Blogging via dial-up. I hope this one makes it through. You have my thanks for the educational process that blogging has launched for me. The quote above seems somehow fitting given Userland's trials and tribulations on this birthday!
Personal note. On this day, 47 years ago, I was born. [Scripting News]
