Moving from Radio to MT ? MT. Dave has his Movable Type migration well on the way. [Simon Fell] I've read Dave's previous post, Spring cleaning,  about why he chose to move and can echo very similar feelings. I just renewed my UserLand registration and am too busy these days to consider a migration, but I am definitely thinking about it. I really agree with his characterization of Radio: the object database and UserTalk was interesting to look at and is an original architecture, but I don't want to delve too deep into it because it is not reusable elsewhere. After I got my hands dirty fixing Jon Udell's blogroll macro (to discover that he had fixed it himself before and much more elegantly) I wanted to implement trackback in UserTalk but never found the time to get to it. What I've read about MT's plugin architecture made me salivate enough to want to play with it.   2:05:06 PM    comment []

Google buys Applied Semantics [InfoWorld: Top News] Google buys Applied Semantics. Deal will boost Google's search and ad programs [InfoWorld: Top News] I hope they'll apply this technology to a more interesting (for their users) use than ads :-) I can see some synergy between this kind of semantic matching technology with the blogger techno they acquired recently. Blogging + RSS feeds + matchmaking = community forming.     1:51:33 PM    comment []
