No Follow For You!

Google's announced it and we're working on the code for UserLand products: a way to fight comment spam by denying the PageRank.

Other search engines are involved: MSN Search and Yahoo!.

Radio UserLand: RadioExpress

RadioExpress: Updated to include a current link to Mike's RadioExpress bookmarklet.

A link to PocketSOAP

Simon Fell: "PocketSOAP"

PocketSOAP, Simon Fell and Radio UserLand

I discovered a new yet old piece of code while perusing Dave Winer's old Scripting News entries around the launch of Radio UserLand. Thank goodness Radio (and other UserLand products) are built around open standards and formats.
