The Genecast News Service - server based RSS aggregator
Very cool: The Genecast News Service is a news aggregator. It is collecting news and weblog updates 24 hours per day, from around the world. If you have a newsfeed that's not already available -- just add it. Subscribe and GO! (...) This means you do not have to download and install special software. Unlike other news aggregators, there's no need to stay on-line for longer periods of time, and wait for software to scan the web. The Genecast News Service is up-to-date when you connect, and synchronizes your newsreader in seconds.

HubLog: OpenAm linking
... no more convoluted Amazon URLs. This is great! Now if we could only get rid of the url.cgi bit. How about www.openam.com/book?title=smart%20mobs instead?
It's always been difficult to link to Amazon, because you have to find the ASIN (product code) to put in the URL. To avoid this, the OpenAm service lets anyone link directly to Amazon product pages, just by using the title (and the author if the title's not precise enough).

For example, to link to Stephen Wolfram's 'A New Kind Of Science', you can use the URL http://www.openam.com/url.cgi?title=a%20new%20kind%20of%20science (the %20 is the encoding for a space).

To link to Howard Rheingold's 'Smart Mobs', you could use http://www.openam.com/url.cgi?title=smart%20mobs or http://www.openam.com/url.cgi?title=smart%20mobs&author=rheingold

and to link to 'The Life Of Pi' using your associates ID (to get sales commission), just use http://www.openam.com/url.cgi?title=life%20of%20pi&ref=exampleid

If that's still too complicated, you can use this OpenAm bookmarklet to generate the links automatically.

Software archeology
Prowling the ruins of ancient software. Famous programs from just a generation or two ago are in danger of disappearing from human ken, forever. [Der Schockwellenreiter
