Andrew Weinstein has added his commentary to my post, and to Steve Rubel’s post as well. Since it seems to be pretty much a copy / paste response I imagine he posted it elsewhere as well.
Maybe the blogophere’s reaction was over the top, and maybe I jumped on the bandwagon too soon, I don’t [...]

Micro Persuasion: AOL’s TOS Change Sparks PR Crisis
You waive any right to privacy. You waive any right to inspect or approve uses of the Content or to be compensated for any such uses.
Wow. Amazingly, stunningly, mind-bogglingly stupid. Are they counting on no one reading the TOS? Does AOL think nobody cares about [...]

Google Blog
Well I don’t know if Google’s just loosening up their external image or if they’re actually listening to their employees and the blogoshpere’s reaction, but this post is definitely a step in the right direction.
I think they have to be careful though - the blog will lose some interest if they don’t post some [...]

“Check out how he optimized the title of a recent blog post to drive traffic to his site.”
Thanks for the tip, Steve and Chris.
I’d like to think that I would have thought of this. But I’d be deluding myself. I’ll be lucky if I can just keep from forgetting it!
Update: I assumed [...]

Benjamin Mako Hill makes an interesting point here. I know that I’m guilty of the kind of immediate response that he’s mentions - as soon as I see the particular style of email that represents most “419″ scams, I delete [...]

See also SiliconBeat: Microsoft’s RSS aggregator via Read/Write Web: Microsoft’s Web-based RSS Aggregator?.
Doesn’t work in FireFox. Also isn’t working in IE right now, but I’ll be checking back. I’m very interested to see what features Microsoft feels they can bring to this space that will make their tool more than a [...]

Moonwatcher Off Topic: Feed Changes
I was just reading a backlog of posts from Moonwatcher and had noticed that not long after posting about The Economic Case for Full Feeds, Charlie had switched to summaries only. I had even taken a snapshot of my bloglines screen showing the difference in feeds and was writing the [...]

This is really cool! (and Jon Udell rocks! - just between Jon Udell: A Google Maps walking tour of Keene, NH and associated posts and his work on the IT Conversations AudioClips function [more info here and here, implementation details here] he’s a web-interconnectivity powerhouse, and that’s not to mention any of his other work).
However, [...]

So far I’ve stayed out of the fray surrounding Google’s Auto-link functionality. I can see both sides of the issue, and think that Dave Winer’s comments (starting, I think, here) and Robert Scoble’s comments (starting, I think, here) have some good points - especially when it comes to what Google could do to [...]
