Linking across weblogs to form threads
Steve, there is definitely a group of people out there who want the same things we do in our blogs: the ability to link posts across blogs to create a thread. We should work towards integrating our two blogs, using either or both of these, to see which one works and if there are any improvements we can add.
Pingback vs. Trackback.
I don't like having comments on my Web log because I believe if you
want to comment then you should do so on your own Web log. If I'd wanted
to host a discussion forum, I'd have installed discussion forum
software, not Web logging software! [

I still think comments are a nice feature, if only for those hapless
folks who have no weblog.

RSS: Channels vs Newsletters
I was just explaining this experience to Tony the other day. I don't want newsletters, I want a stream of thoughts.
Join The RSS News Aggregator Cult!. The RSS conversion
"John Gruber is going through the RSS conversion. First, you start using a news aggregator that you like, then you feel dumb for not providing an RSS feed for your Web site, and then you kind of stop reading all those sites that don't have RSS feeds. There are some sites that don't support RSS that I still follow, but the truth is that I read them sporadically at best, regardless of how good they are. That's still a better situation than when I didn't use a news aggregator at all and I simply stopped reading all personal sites for weeks at a time because I didn't make time to stroll through my bookmark list to see who was writing what." [rc3.org]
If you haven't tried an aggregator, pass go and collect $200 now. It's amazing to watch others go through the same light bulb moments I did!
Side note to libraries: note the shift in how these on the bleeding edge folks are reading web sites. It's time to start thinking about how to get YOUR news into THEIR aggregators.
Side note to John: Perceive Designs is syndicating Zeldman for us. [The Shifted Librarian]
