"Grammy-nominated vocalist Nnenna Freelon will release a new album consisting entirely of Stevie Wonder covers. Tales Of Wonder: Celebrating Stevie Wonder, will hit stores on June 11, and will feature a collection of 11 tunes penned by Wonder, reinterpreted by Freelon in the jazz idiom."

"Now that Radio weblogs can tell us how they're related to other weblogs, through the blogroll and subscription lists, we can start harvesting information from those links. The Weblog Neighborhood tool only looks at subscription lists. It visits all the sites you're subscribed to, looking for sites that point to their subscription list, and then harvests those, and recurses up to three levels deep (this is configurable). Each time it visits a site, it bumps its count. If it can go into a site, it will appear in bold on your neighborhood page."

"Blogrolls are a collection of links on the home page of a weblog that point to sites that are somehow related to yours. They serve several purposes, they direct readers to the sites that are important to you, and serve as a set of bookmarks for you. They also help build page rank in search engines for sites you wish to bestow page rank on."

If you simply need to monitor the action, there are a number of personal RSS aggregators."
