BLOGROLLING

Hmm, John Robb is leaving UserLand. And his Radio blog hints at another business model... But wait. The blog is available in Google's cache, but not on UserLand's servers any more.

John must have felt a sudden need to confuse his readers. That's why he removed his blog. Or else... could it be... nah... not censorship. Could it?

Another interesting ruling: " Search engines' display of miniature images is fair use under copyright law, a federal appeals court ruled Monday, but the legality of presenting full-size renditions of visual works is yet to be determined." [News.com]

Neither Dave nor Phil get it. The exclusiveness of Google's BlogThis feature isn't because of evilness, or because it involves less code to do it as they did. Rather, it's because of simple business logic. The kind of logic that they must follow, in fact, if they are to survive as a significant player over the next five years or so.
