Speaking Terms
THE PRESIDENT: "I want to say something about Afghanistan. Germany has taken a very active role in Afghanistan and we're very thankful for that. As NATO steps forward, Germany has assumed a big responsibility. And we really appreciate the German participation. And the reason I bring that up is, is that that's a change from six months ago. And not only is Germany's participation important, it's robust, more robust than we would have anticipated. I look forward to thanking Chancellor Schroeder for that."

All politics aside, it makes me feel a lot better when the president of my native country is on speaking terms with my adopted country.

And, if you're a German unhappy with the current American president, you should be happy too, since Germany has a much better chance to influence American policy when they are speaking (slim) than when they are not (none). [PapaScott]

Metablogging
Hugo versucht sich an einer Kategorisierung von Weblogs. Er unterscheidet zwischen:

Linkhubs: diese bestehen zu 90% aus Links und Fremdzitaten, nur ein geringer Anteil ist Eigencontent. Dieser besteht meistens aus der Angabe warum ich einen Link sehen will, nicht was dort steht -- denn das steht ja schon am Originalort.
Contentblogs: Schreiberlinge die mehr eigenen Content produzieren als Fremdverlinken. Häufig stark Artikelformatig -- also längere Texte.
