Anne Zelenka, the “Red Nun” of Redmonk provides a 6-item list of myths about Ajax.  Mostly I think she’s right on the mark, especially the note about Ajax making sites more usable.  But I think she’s a little off track in this bit:
Myth 3: Ajax is just window dressing - it’s only about superficial cool […]

Recording Your Attention: Spying on Yourself — J Wynia
J’s put up an attention service for himself, much as I’ve done. He has, however, taken the time to give a basic run-down of the very simple procedure for getting one running.
I only have 1 thing to add to J’s list of 14 steps to recording […]

Alex Barnett:The middleman won’t go away, he’ll just move.
referencing this by Matt Terenzio (who’s been active in the OPML Editor community recently as well)
Good points from both Matt and Alex in this interchange.
I see Matt’s point that eventually we’re going to be pushing all of this stuff out to the edges and that connections between […]

I’ve been wondering if there’s value in an aggregated feed of blog posts and comments. Ideally a threaded one, where the comments followed along behind the post they related to - perhaps even as children - requiring prior art or a new namespace, I suspect.
Obviously on blogs with a ton of comments that would […]

SuprGlu is a sort of a personality aggregator for the web published by Iridesco. If you wanted to collect all the information available by you or about you that you’re responsible for, SuprGlu’d be a place to do it.
The essential idea here is that you give SuprGlu a bunch of inputs of your data […]

Assuming that memeorandum provides value (and I think it does as a component of an overall view of the web, not as a sole view of the web), there’s an aspect of memeorandum that I find lacking, and that’s an addressable history. Gabe provides the ability to go and see what tech.memeorandum.com looked like […]

I’ve been looking more closely at the SSE announcement since it came out; the next few posts are likely to be about this, and some (like this one) fairly (ok, very) long, so be forewarned….
After reading through the spec and accompanying FAQ, I started rifling through the commentary thread at memeorandum.1  Alex Barnett already has […]

I’ll be at SQL Server 2005/Visual Studio 2005 launch events today.
If there’s wi-fi, I might try to blog it live. Not as big a deal as the Windows/Office Live events, but a pretty big deal to us Wisconsinites….

Dave’s made it to the web with his OPML Validator Beta. On the surface it seems a little more strict than Randy’s validator.
Dave’s linked to the caveats of the beta-ness of the tool, as well, which is pretty nice - especially the presence of the valid and invalid test files. As I linked […]

Updated directions below; including a dialog-based set of instructions
I’ve been hassled for a while with what I perceived as a problem with GMail that I was finally able to solve yesterday.
I have 2 GMail accounts, and I subscribe to various mailing lists (especially Gooogle Groups) with different accounts depending on the purpose of the group, […]
