Here's a new feature I'm trialing on Read/Write Web. It'll be a daily shot of Web 2.0 news. Each item will have a main link, one or two lines of commentary from me, and views of the story from other bloggers (if I have time).It'll take a while to settle...

Last week I started my review of a JupiterResearch report entitled RSS Readers: Addressing Market Opportunities with an Innovative News Medium.

Before I start: as this is a regular feature, I'm looking for a forward-thinking company to sponsor the Web 2.0 Weekly Wrap-Up. I get a lot of very positive feedback about the Wrap-Up and I know that a number of influential people read it. So if you'd like to sponsor...
Recently I was invited by JupiterResearch VP & Research Director Michael Gartenberg to be a part of their new blogging program. The deal: I get a free copy of an analyst report relevant to my specialty and in return I will offer my own blog-style analysis of it. What this...
I got an invite to Yahoo! 360°, the new blogging/social networking app from Yahoo. Here is my 360 blog, which has hardly anything in it right now. I'll probably only use it for experimentation, but if I end up liking it then maybe I'll use it for social networking. First...
Kevin Donahue posts some RSS Aggregator stats for his FanBlogs network of sites - and I was taken aback to see who is number 1, by a long shot. No it's not Bloglines, as it is for most of the geek set. For football fans, a staggering 64.8% of FanBlogs.com...

A couple of weeks ago Microsoft's new web-based RSS Aggregator prototype was discovered. I wrote then (also in my weekly wrap-up) that even though technically the prototype wasn't that special, it did reveal Microsoft's business strategy for RSS. Which is that Microsoft intends to integrate RSS Aggregation with its MSN...
At the risk of going off-topic, I'm currently deeply into IMHO the best album I've heard in years - Green Day's American Idiot. It's a concept album and I often wonder how such a thing could be done in blogging. It's common wisdom that a focused blog is the best...

SiliconBeat has a scoop. They point to a sandbox version of a working web-based RSS Aggregator - from Microsoft! I had a very quick play-round (note it doesn't work in Firefox) and it's similar to MyYahoo, but what's most interesting is the strong integration with MSN Search. Hmmmm.Click to enlargeNB:...
A collaborative stats project using Feedburner data was launched on this blog yesterday. It's an informal project, but I really hope the blogosphere gets behind it.
