The Scobleizer Weblog writes: "Dan Gillmor helps out an independent software developer. [...] I know who the anonymous guy is that Dan is writing with and his stuff is killer. Too bad the platform vendors are all asleep. Oh. Wait. At least one guy at Apple isn't asleep. [...] Why don't all software companies have evangelists who write weblogs? I'd love to see the excuses that small guys like this get for not even getting the time of day."

KnowledgeMiner comes to Mac OS X: "The application [...] is a neural network analysis program that takes inputs and results for systems and derives equations that describe the results in terms of the inputs. [...] This extracted knowledge can be directly used to improve model results, to get new insights into the system, and to aid decisions." [MacCentral]

I collected some of the recent discussions into a story titled Weblogs on the borderline of control and chaos. The story text is draft version 0.1, so all comments are welcome.

Update: I edited the text slightly for clarity (version 0.11), and added some ideas taken from the search functionality of Amazon.com (version 0.12). I received a long comment from Michelle Legare at Private Ink (thanks!), but haven't yet had time to think about it.
