I love to read Steve Gillmor's posts - he has a unique way with words and it's fun (OK sometimes frustrating) to decipher his messages. But I really wish he would look beyond his Silicon Valley-tinted glasses and mention/link to some new blood now and then. Take this extract from...

Doc Searls grabs the Web 2.0 meme by the horns and gives it a good shake. He's posted a thought-provoking piece in which he frames Web 2.0 in the following way:"I propose a goal: Make Web 2.0 the best possible commons for supporting free markets and free culture."I'm glad Doc...
I've resigned from my day job, so in 4 weeks time I will be fully self-employed. I'll be doing freelance analysis and writing work, plus an exciting project which I will advise you of soon. I've been extremely busy lately, hence the relative lack of blogging. But soon I'll be...

You've got to hand it to Technorati, they sure know how to get media and blog attention. A recent Wired article makes the extraordinary claim that Technorati is "a public utility on a global scale". With no mention whatsoever of other blog search engines, Wired compares Technorati to Google -...
A bit of admin before I start. The Web 2.0 Weekly Wrap-Up is looking for a new sponsor, now that ThePort Network has completed its sponsorship arrangement with me. Dan Backus from ThePort Network told me they had a lot of positive feedback to the sponsorship and their product offerings...
Technorati has gotten a little bit of heat recently from Marc Canter and Dave Winer, which prompted me to take a look at how Technorati stacks up against its competition in the blog search space. Hat-tip also to Josh Hallett, who pointed me to a relevant post of his the...

I'm doing the rounds on the podcasting circuit. Tonight I did an impromptu podcast with Microsoft International Program Manager Alex Barnett. We were chatting via Skype and it kind of just turned into a podcast. Skype can record calls, which I didn't know until Alex told me - he has...
I've recently added a neat new feature onto my blog - a "Listen to audio version of this post" link at the end of each post (only on my website). It's powered by a really cool new app called Talkr.com. Every time I write a post on Read/Write Web, Talkr...
Yahoo has a beta "Social Search Engine" called (woo!) My Web 2.0. According to the Yahoo Search Blog, it "enables people to search the expertise of their friends and community". It hooks into Yahoo 360 (which opened up to the general public last week), and it's got "personalized search", sharing...

MediaPost reports that Microsoft's MSN portal is advertising for bloggers. At first glance, this is right up my street. I've been trying to get an ongoing and secure 20 hour/week writing gig for months, with no success - i.e. I'm still at my day job! So my first thought was:...
Morenews is filtering through about AOL's re-design. AOL is probably second behind Yahoo in terms of the number of users it has, although it's far behind Yahoo in terms of marketing itself as a media company. If you look at AOL.com's homepage right now, for example, you'll see it still...
