OK - javablogs.com is ready to beta test, and we brought it in an hour under the time frame, it must be some sort of miracle. What is it? Basically a replacement for the Java and J2EE Weblogs list - that grew out of hand as feature-itis took over. Each blogger can add their own blog, and decide if they want it aggregated (ie the content will show up), searchable (ie the content is indexed and can be searched), both or neither. We tried to leave all the power in the bloggers hands (blogging is after all a decentralised medium!). The search function is especially useful, and will be more so over time I think! (Forgot where you heard about AOP? Try searching for it) You can also get an OPML feed of all the blogs now (which lots of people have asked for), and the RSS feed of new blogs is updated in real time. There's a million other features we want to add (personalisation, group moderation, some sort of statistical / intelligent filtering, keyword categorisation, SOAP API, hot entries, popular searches etc), but I think we've got a good start so far. Feedback? Either email me or just comment on this post! 7:59:55 PM  comment []
