Steven Levy Has A Blog About Writing About Blogs. says [Ernie the Attorney]
Steven suggests that we need to be more self displined about our categories, separating different kinds of writing:
- Sharing interesting links and insights.
- More or less original content.
- Pundit commentary on what we see in the news.
For the moment, my focus is on separating my stuff by type of subject content - computers, history, using this technology, etc.
Steven writes QUOTE Article in New York Times idea section says that there are now 500,000 Weblogs. Can this be? I always seem to see the same hundred or so, and they’re all linked to each other. Will have to check out the other 499,900 somehow. Who are these people? UNQUOTE
Seems to me there are 50 some software vendors in competition with Radio Userland. Many of them provide feeds similar to those we see on our Radio Cloud Links, some of which are available on the internet to people with competing vendor software, but these are just the customers whose Preferences say to notify of updates. Some might want to keep what they are doing somewhat private. Some vendors can tell the media how many customers they have, how many licenses renewed, how many demos, etc. but who audits the veracity? In other software markets there is some creative accounting to try to inflate numbers to make it seem like one vendor or another has excess market share. Many reasons for this, get customers to what appears to be successful company, get bank loans to them also.
Can search engine robots, trolling the internet connections and what various ISPs host, tell when they find a site what type of site it is in terms of the software hosting it?
