– There are 1.12 million feeds in Bloglines that “matter”, says Ask Jeeves Blog (meaning at least 1 person subscribes to it. nb: SEW and Niall
both point out that some blogs have multiple feeds)
– Feedburner begins
to expand into “major media accounts and global relationships” (fulfilling all the
hype I lavished onto them in my Best Web 2.0 Companies of 2004
post last year)
–
Comparing tech companies to countries (check out the comments – there are some funny
comparisons. e.g. “delicious is Chechnya: Comprehensible only to those inside.”)
– Profile of Bokee,
China’s top blogging network (they’re planning a “virtual currency”, a la Korea’s
Cyworld, which will enable Bokee bloggers to charge their readers)
– Study finds usability
issue with blogs (if you’re a blog consultant, the
PDF report is well worth pondering)
– Tony
Gentile tells us to expect continued integration in Yahoo’s network (yes the social
networking, aggregation, RSS, media, etc pieces are all coming together quite nicely for
Yahoo)
– PaidContent.org on
Yahoo’s Silicon Valley and Hollywood goings-on (see also
WSJ.com and Om
Malik)
– Greasemonkey
has a serious security flaw (Mark Pilgrim sounded the warning and the Greasemonkey
blog has details)
– Slashdot
community debates the future of Firefox (as one commenter said, “I want to know how
firefox devs plan to address security concerns with the browsers.”)
– Backing up your
Gmail account (use pop3 or the auto-forward feature)
