This would prove helpful as a test base for small world hypthoses.... hmmm E-mail patterns map corporate structure. Figuring out a company's power and communication structure may be as simple as examining patterns of e-mail exchanges, according to new research by some Hewlett-Packard scientists.

Great list of weblogs from the front. Daypop shows this link from Cyberjournalist is hot.  Looks like a good list. "Weblogs and Diaries from Embedded Journalists" [Daypop Top 40] comment [] 7:36:03 AM

Micro Content and War Coverage. Sec. of Defense Rumsfeld made an interesting point the other day.  He said that what we were seeing from the embedded journalists were "slices" of the war, not the war in its entirity.  He's right.  And, that definition fits within the "micro content" definition being discussed about weblogs.  Now, if journalists could all file their reports on line, without going through the editorial filter of their employers (course, the profit motive gets lost here), then we could do our own filtering of the news from the front -- as we do with the hyperlinks in blogs.  Hmmm... is that what we have to look forward to?  Just how "disruptive" will micro-content technology be? SJ Mercury: Web offers varied perspectives on war coverage. Dan Gillmor. This time around, however, a minority -- but a growing one -- had learned a lesson from the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks. They had a robust online alternative. The Web, e-mail lists and other online sources offered content with context and nuance. [Tomalak's Realm] comment [] 7:29:27 AM
