Be suspicious of sites that claim to mass-submit your URL to many dozens or hundreds of search engines. There are less than 10 major search engines that you should care about being listed in.

I'd take that a bit further... There really is only one. Google. Alright, two. Yahoo.
Not a bad article, though nothing new (I've been reading such for years). It's the new content and links to your site that are really important, once you've mastered meta tags, good titles and a wide breadth of content.

"The Nokia Content Syndication Program (NCSP) offers direct links to Nokia documents, toolkits, videos, images, etc., all through standard XML and JavaScript interfaces."

Phwoar! A tonne of channels to pick from. Glad to see so many very large names coming into the syndication fold. (No RSS2.0 feeds though.)
I'll have to decide which ones to pick: thinking of XHTML, Symbian and MMS initially.

""UserLand has advanced products and deep customer base. We will continue to support that base and intensify our focus on the enterprise. In the near term, we expect to be enhancing Manila with improved authentication and single sign-in support, making it even easier to deploy secure weblog based solutions," said Scott Young, chief executive officer of UserLand Software. "These are features that our academic and government customers have also requested." "

New management team. (Go for it chaps.) Going after the corporate customer sounds quite sensible. The blogging public market has moved on, looking not for features but crowds, while the corporate has no real software to blog in an intranet environment except Traction or "Manila" which can be combined with "Radio".

On a related note I found an article, Blogging software for intranet applications. Though it doesn't mention Manila, which is odd, since it's the oldest of its type, and fulfills all of the criteria, it does outline the requirements of an intranet blogging system.

"Access to online services through a digital network includes both narrowband and broadband services as well as digital terrestrial, cable and satellite TV. It also includes the new generation of mobile phones that work with 3G technology and can access a pared-down version of certain internet sites."

Nice idea. Of course, I'd want to go further, giving people a way to write on the web - to be producers as well as consumers. Get all of the UK blogging. Now that would be a competitive advantage for UK plc.
