And at last, after days spent blocked on the subject, here's my a story about the Blog stream.

Salon: Can we trust Microsoft's Palladium? Could Palladium function as a kind of technological straitjacket, a Redmond-operated remote control over your data and, in consequence, your life? According to those who've looked closely at the proposal, the answer is a definite, unhelpful "maybe." But the better question is this: Why would Microsoft want to build such a restrictive system? [Tomalak's Realm]

The Salon article by Farjad Manhoo is discouraging - an open sourcer who fears the future. Why would MS want to build such a restrictive system? because they can!

http://www.webcrimson.com/ourstories/blogsdisruptivetech.htm - article by John Hiler on the threat posed to content management systems by humble blogger applications. Hiler owns the crimsonblog application and has a strong vested interest in his thesis that suggests that blogging will rout CMSes the same way that PCs routed mainframe computers. Am I missing something here - I though Radio was a CMS. Isn't the revolution already over and blogger apps are supreme already?
