At more than 150,000 pages, Wikipedia is now the largest wiki in the world, but did you know which is the second largest? The answer is Susning.nu, a Swedish wiki with no specific agenda other than helping participants "get a clue". Read more on Meatball.
Alf very positively reviews the Waypath blog indexing service.
I must confess I only tried it out once when it got out, and was
unimpressed at the time, but it seems like it's really good at some
things, such as finding similar pages. (I noticed Michael is using it
on all of his links, which is an excellent sign, too.)
Alf also links to rant by Waypath author Steve
deploring the lack of collaboration between the
technopathpopblogdexsters out there. Seems a big part of the fun is in
the building, rather than in offering the best service. Oh well, too
bad for the users. Still what we have is better than nothing. What do you think? [] links to this post 1:49:17 PM
It's a shame that so few weblogs have an about page. I'm sure it makes us look like some kind of secret handshake
clique to hapless outsider surfers. Stephen's new page is about as
complete as it can get. I especially like the first part, "Purpose and
Origin".
About Stephen's Web. I have revised, updated and greatly expanded
the 'About' page for my website, making clear its design
goals, technology, organization, features, and (some not so
humble statements about) impact. [...] [OLDaily]
Kliki: Corporate Fallout Detector. The
Corporate Fallout Detector reads barcodes off of consumer products, and
makes a noise similar to a gieger counter of varying intensity based on
the social or environmental record of the company that produces the
product. [KMpings]
Richard MacManus experiences the wonders of hyperlinked communication, chronicling how his blog helped grow his ideas:
Organic stories. [...] So my story Microcontent Wiki
did indeed grow and the idea of it is still floating around in
cyberspace. It's almost organic and the beautiful thing (to me) is that
everyone who linked to or commented on my story brought something new to the idea. Plus, even better, it led me to discover some interesting new people to add to my RSS Aggregator and blogroll! So by writing something and being lucky enough to be read by a small part of the blogosphere, I ended up reading stuff by people I hadn't come across before, who will further stimulate me to write more stuff. Now that's the Read/Write Web folks! [Read/Write Web]
I love posts like this that cast a different light on a blogger's
personality than what their writing expresses. I should try something
similar sometime.
