Here is a data point just "pointed" out to me. Do you remember what major story was breaking prior to the intrusion of the aircraft into DC space? (waiting for your answer). Give up? Tom Ridge told folks on Wednesday that the Department of Homeland Security had changed the alert based solely on pressure from the White House. Just as this story starts to get traction .... Now for the conspiracy part: White House Defends Handling Capital Alert. WASHINGTON (AP) -- The White House on Thursday defended the decision to not interrupt President Bush during a bike ride to
inform him of a suspected threat that led to the evacuation of
thousands - including his wife - from government buildings.... [AP Top Political News At 11 a.m. EDT]
BTW, the Ridge storied -- it disappeared -- go ahead Google for it -- you'll have to go back about 35 pages to find it.... Finally, after a "stern" lecture, the happy go lucky errant pilot and passenger were allowed to continue their trip. Democrats identified at Bush rallies got harsher treatment than these two trespassers.  comment []

Scoble's thoughts require more thought. Must find time... A few days ago I mentioned FeedTagger, but got a few more to talk about here. FeedBurner; Newsninja; and Rojo. Which ones do you like the most? All of these services are using tags to try to winnow down the millions of blogs to just a few that you'd be interested in. What's potentially the next meme after tagging? Structured blogging. The idea there is to make a movie review look different from a calendar entry. I've been doing a lot of thinking about news aggregators lately. Now that I have 1,300+ blogs that I really like and know, I don't want to read them every week. I want to have three tabs in my news aggregators. First tab would bring me 10 of the hottest articles from my 1,300 blogs. Emphasis on "my." The articles in your news aggregator would be different because you'd subscribe to a seperate set of blogs. Second tab would have 50 articles. Third tab would have a river of news of all the articles. Now, what's the algorithm that'll bring you just 10 articles out of the thousands that course through my aggregator every day? By the way, Robert Rebholz came over and chatted with me today and he called all these new tools "cognitive networking" tools and services. It's the first time I've heard things like Furl, Del.icio.us, Rojo called that. Anyway, this new world is an interesting one and expanding very quickly. Who knew about tagging a year ago? comment []
