Diego Doval's tutorial on syndication.   Okay a reporter sends a link to an AP article that says lots of blogs are abandoned. Internet Littered With Dead Websites. That's just the beginning. "Her site remains frozen in time." Sounds terrible, until you realize they are no more or less dead than a magazine article that hasn't been updated since it was written (basically all magazine articles). Or even less dead than the archive of a newspaper that's been taken offline to make more money for the publisher. Or wait a year and come back and try that Yahoo News article. It'll be 404 by then. I have a few sites that I myself started with high hopes that nothing much happened with. Or others that have been useful and successful but still haven't changed in years. Bless John Kerry, he bought some ads on weblogs. Doc comments on the term open source applied to politics. Very stimulating conversation with Jay Rosen yesterday. Two follow-up pointers, one a tutorial for professional reporters getting started with weblogs, and the other a long-running philosophical disagreement between myself and his NYU colleague, Clay Shirky. I'm sure Jay won't mind my making the pointers public. BTW, we had lunch at the 2nd Avenue Deli. I had matzoh ball soup, chopped liver, a kosher hot dog, and bobka. After, I stopped at a Starbuck's at 9th and 2nd for a large coffee. My mother told me that it was at the location of my grandfather's favorite old-country restaurant, the Kiev (or was it the Odessa?), where he would have perogies. Now it's just another Starbucks. Oy vey. PS: Rosen is going to Davos next year (lucky guy!). Mazel tov to Full Professor Akma, sir. Fox News (paraphrased): "Seek out stories that cater to angry, middle-aged white men who listen to talk radio and yell at their televisions." BBC: Thirteen US soldiers die in helicopter attack in Iraq. Unknown developer: "We don't solve problems, we just talk about them." I went to a party in Prince Edward Island with several hundred people, lobster, mussels, beer, great conversation, and one guy wearing a kilt. I drank a bit of beer, so at one point I had to go to the bathroom, and who would be in there, taking a leak, but the guy with a kilt. It was too much for me. Woody Allen: "I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying. "
