Scripting News, the weblog started in 1997 that bootstrapped the blogging revolution.

NY Times: "Mr. Moore's article was linked to by a number of bloggers sympathetic to his ideas, and quickly became the first hit returned when someone searches Google for 'second superpower.'" 

Fascinating post from Evan Williams dated 5/10 re weblog APIs. Must-read, carefully. 

Scoble: "Google is getting a lot of pressure from its advertisers to devalue webloggers." Must-read. 

A picture named orlowski.jpgA few articles have appeared recently from print journalists suggesting that Google and other search engines are giving too much weight to weblogs. One even invented a "news" story that Google was going to take blogs out of the index. He didn't have a source at the company, it was pure speculation, and later strongly rejected by a company spokesperson. It's a wonder this guy keeps his press badge. Anyway, Doc Searls, the happy blogger (always!) finds a glass-half-full solution. The print journalists should walk down the hall to their publishers' office and request that they make their archive publicly available so it can be indexed by the search engines. Google is just indexing what's on the Web. If you want to be in Google, you gotta be on the Web. It's pretty simple. 

Ernie the Attorney says "Help Larry Lessig re-populate the public domain." 

Don Park: "If today's Blogland is LA, tommorrow's Blogland will look like NY with skyscapers reaching for the sky." 

NY Times: Dating a Blogger. "It's like all your friends are reporters now," said Douglas Rushkoff. Right on. 

Paolo Valdemarin emailed me late last night from Italy with an interesting best-practices type idea for the <source> element in RSS. It goes like this.  

Diego Doval's review and discussion of blogging APIs is still going strong. 

Now of course some publications probably wish their archive wasn't on the Web.
