- Lately I've been thinking about how we could evolve blogging tools to allow people to author more structured (dare I say semantic?) content, so that other people could find their stuff that they find of interest more easily.Right now what we have, globally speaking, is pretty much a huge pool of blog posts, each implicitly tied to a particular weblog author and with a date slapped on. Now, say I've written a review of the latest Radiohead album into my blog. I'd like others who are interested in Radiohead, or in music reviews in general, and who may not know me, to be able to pick out my review from the common pool in a simple way. |

- The "Saddam" who spoke on Iraqi TV tonite did not appear to be the "Saddam" whom Dan Rather interview; nor did he appear to be the "Saddam" of official photographs. The fact that he was reading the speech was also suspicious. We may have nailed the guy already! File PhotoTV... |

- Jonas reports that the first version of "pundyt" should be available shortly:I believe it's about time to lift the veil of secrecy and let you all in on the big project plan: I give you: pundyt , a full fledged microcontent management and news delivery system. Pundyt is somewhere between Radio Userland, Movable Type, Drupal, and Ampheta Desk. |

- So says Leo Laporte in recommending RSS to Screen Savers viewers, and in particular aggregator applications NetNewsWire (Mac) and NewsDesk (Windows). Among other things, Leo explains why RSS is not PointCast, and links to UserLand's and Web Reference's definitions of RSS. (I say put the aggregator in the browser, but that's a segment for another day.) [Bag and Baggage] No no, put the browser in the aggregator! NewsDesk does this, and it looks good. |

- From the Bugs Dept: Slashdot | Bug Reporting Etiquette The basic jist of the article is: Don't Panic, and Please Tell Us (Exactly) What's Going On. As always with Slashdot some comments are very insightful as well (and some are just l4m3r d00ds). |

- Oh mighty Lazyweb, thee of great loins, grant me this: a filter for NetNewsWire that allows me to mark-as-read all posts containing keywords I set. Today, for example, I wish to be undisturbed by posts containing words such as "Iraq", "XML", "Fish Fingers" and "Harlot" - all of which are sat in that little guilty red-starred unread posts number. I want to opt out of these conversations. I don't even want them to impinge on my conciousness enough for me to just skim them. |

- Advertisers might take note of a new study just released by P & G that showed similar ad recall rates for those fast-forwarding through ads using a PVR and those that don't.So...now :30's can be compressed into :5's, get the same recall, and save a bundle of media dollars. |

- From the Be-Careful Dept: Slashdot | U.S. May Reduce Non-Military GPS Accuracy Great, from 3 meter accuracy (meaning that you're on top of the thing you're hunting for) vs 100 (or possibly more) meters (meaning that you still may be up to a football field length away. Good for protection from enemies using GPS, bad for people who use GPS every day (like people in On-Star cars - I'm guessing they use GPS). |

Feedster (Mar 20 2003 05:41 GMT) - Devhawk.net did a really smart thing with Feedster -- he added it to has blog's UI essentially as a "virtual table of contents". Good idea. |

- This timely story on open source from CIO magazine says that 54% of the 375 CIO's they surveyed said that open source software would be their dominant server platform. Saying it doesn't make it so, but it does indicate an expectation and a level of awareness that I think is unprecedented. The article says: |

- Who can avoid talking about the war? My feeling on the war is now on record, I suppose (support, contingent on dedicated and sincere attempt to reconstruct Iraq; if it self-destructs it should be despite our efforts, not because of them), but I wanted to comment on a couple of criticisms that I feel are either disingenuous or invalid. "Bush (and by extension the administration) is stupid." - No. |
