Of Weblogs, Websites and RCS

"(And no, Mom isn't stupid).
If I say to her, "just go write in the browser and here is a way of seeing the places where it has gone after you posted it" and "here is the place in the same browser where you go to assist the people who are coming to you" - RCS on her desktop-and-in-the-browser for the flower club work - she is quite likely to go, "ah, that makes sense."
Interesting article. I like it when people (techies) get down to this bottom level (mummies). This is the problem I have with "Radio" right now. There's too much interest in the high flying new and wonderful coding and development. Nothing about my Mum. And nothing, repeat nothing in the K-logging space is going to happen till developers come out of their own arses. (Me included.)
It mustn't matter where news items get posted, what's public, what's private. Until there are users, not coders, nor early adopters, there is no community.
I've a load of football meatheads currently forming communities of interest based around Manila. None of them care it's Manila. All they're interested in is the content, and a little of how it looks. I don't think many of them use the search facilities to look back into the archives, it's more a what's happening now type of gossip, who's updated their blog, who's getting most hits. There is little research, just commentary. I hate it, I've no, read none, zip, zilch interest in looking at fucking football drivel -- though I have to sometimes.
They are in fact mostly oar pullers rather than sail inventors . There are sail inventors there. Though of all their comments and suggestions re: the team, all get ignored, by the club, but not by their blogging peers.
Sail inventor EllisOut: Ambition For Villa - Manifesto: "I am standing for Parliament because I passionately believe urgent action is needed to make sport - not only football but other sports as well - more responsive to the needs and views of the supporters and spectators who are its lifeblood."
Oar Puller claretpimpernel : Round Holes, Square One: "Which brings us on to the midfield. Working from left to right, Barry had a sublime 5 minutes where his natural quality shined through."
Manila has my vote at the moment, it's mature and brings web writing to the bottom users -- football meat heads -- gawd bless 'em.

Netimperative.com looks for buyer. Receivers called in.
Last year netimperative asked its readers to pledge money for subscriptions in a bid to generate revenue. Most of the news there is deeply IPO type material, and mostly PR releases, usually without comment. I'm not surprised they're facing the wall.

The Register: "Mac performance: up to snuff or up the duff?"
Some replies to yesterday's suggestion via the eg, that Apple was slow and PC's were fast.
You have just been deleted. Any website that would post such crap is crap.
Seems like some people just don't believe it.

Acts of Volition: The Weblog Markup Language: "1:37 PM - Joe makes a post on his blog about his golf vacation on Prince Edward Island

3:24 PM - Joe makes a post on his blog about hang gliding in Newfoundland

Two weeks pass.

Sam searches Google for hang gliding in Prince Edward Island. Joe's blog is the first result.

The trouble with this picture is that Joe never wrote anything about hang gliding on Prince Edward Island. The thought never even crossed his mind. "
This is certainly a good idea for later, when there are so many blogs as to drown relevant searches.

Some new adverts, about time I did some advertising.
