It’s about Finding New Links, Part IV - The RSS Blog
More link wrangling with Randy Charles Morin
Web 2.0 is Many Things, But I Doubt it’s a $2,800 Conference
It’s 3am and I should be asleep, so I’ll just link to Ted’s Internet37.0 unrant.
Oakley Thermonuclear Protection
Remember those ubiquitous Oakley “Thermonuclear Protection” stickers from way back in the mid-late 80’s (early 90’s maybe)?
Anyway, I saw one this morning, proudly adorning the back window of some nondescript SUV, and it bought back a flood of memories…Oakley Frogskins anyone?
And do you remember before Oakley made sunglasses they were most notable for their wicked [...]
Home shopping channel for your feed reader
Yes, this is a bit silly…but is it SILLIER than the Home Shopping Network?
Just wondering.
Advertising and Feedreaders (again!)
NOTE: This post has been sitting unpublished for awhile now…so I decided to go ahead ready or not…
Alex King and co. are developing a new web based feedreader, Feedlounge, which looks really promising.
But they will have a challenge when it comes to making money out of it if they need to use advertising to support [...]
FeedCommerce
Here’s a little idea…turn your Yahoo! stores XML feed into an RSS feed.
Why?…maybe to make it easy to syndicate your product catalogue on other sites using services like FeedrollPro. Or maybe just to make your catalogue searchable by all the new RSS search engines.

It won’t work in a large company.
It won’t work in our [...]
It’s not the size that counts
Mena Trott and the 37 Signals folks have had a bit of back and forth on the relative advantages/disadvatanges of small and large teams in business. Interesting, but the real question is what works for you? There’s lots of ‘big’ companies that do OK, and lots of small companies that do well also.
If a big [...]
Oblique Info…you can say that again
WTF is this?
Just trying out the new Google Blog Search (ego searching) and I found this entry, entitled “Cory Doctorow” at some blog called Oblique Info. That’s just plain weird.
UPDATE: OK OK, that explains it…looked a bit closer and it seems this site is some sort of blogging bot…so now it goes from category “comedy” [...]
Draper Fisher Jurvetson in the Ukraine
I missed this announcement back in July about DFJ starting a new VC fund in the Ukraine…interesting stuff. Based on my own experience with developers based there I am a real fan…smart, dedicated, and they’ve got initiative. I expect great things as long as they can keep the politics in check and the government continues [...]
