Dave Pollard updates his findings on what blog readers want to see more of what blog writers would like to get back in return. For example, he has learned that blog readers want to see more original research, surveys etc. original, well-crafted fiction great finds: resources, blogs, essays, artistic works news not found anywhere else…

Today is, of course Talk Like Bill O’Reilly Day. Don’t make me turn off your mic! This Internet is a hotbed of dangerous speech! Even the print media are committing liable against me. There’s something wrong in this country when famous people deliberately try to harm a legitimate businessman like myself. Looks like O’Lielly’s are…

Yet another memetracking site keyed into the blogosphere is the still-in-beta BlogPulse, which identifies key phrases (usually of two words or more) – as well as topics, people, and links – that are appearing most often in tracked weblogs each day. I’m not sure how they determine what’s a topic and what’s a people, but…

reminded me of this, which I meant to point to weeks ago:

A while back, I thought that instead of waiting for, say, Rumsfeld to start a blog (yeah, right) that anyone could compile any public utterances the Donald makes on the record and publish them at a passive or reportorial weblog on a daily basis. In a sense, the misleader site being discussed on Metafilter right…

I was doing a little a.m. egosurfing and noticed that the links to RFB noted at Technorati were last updated over a day ago, plus there’s nothing listed under Breaking News or What’s New. What gives?

So is anyone else, like, blogging Seybold? UPDATE: If you are blogging Seybold, feel free to send a trackback ping to this entry.

Craig Newmark’s Blog, aka “craig blog,” is up and running. Instant A-List? Don’t know who Craig is? See his well trafficked craigslist, which recently got RSS feeds. Speaking of which, Craig appears to have rolled his own blog software and it doesn’t look like he’s added a feed yet, at least not one linked on…

The Merry Pranksters had a slogan, or actually, they had several slogans, but the one I’m thinking of right now is “Nothing lasts.” I’m a great believer in lifecycles. Just about everything on this planet – even phenomena – gets born, lives, and then dies. Blogs are no excepts. Some weblogs end by default. Sometimes…

Much ado has been made recently about AOL blocking LiveJournal referrers. Some think it is a misguided attempt to deep linking or bandwidth-stealing (linknig to hosted images). Other see it as a preemptive strike against the most likely competitor to AOL Journals. Ross Mayfield ponders both interpretations and more, gathering a number of other links…

After talking to filchyboy today I think I understand how to notify the Salon community server that I’ve updated this blog. Even though I’m not using Radio anymore, since my Radio license is still current and I still feel like a member of the community, I assume this is kosher. Let’s see if it works.

Last week I went to SF and finally met the honest-to-god Amazonian bitch-queen of the blogosphere, the Reverse Cowgirl her ownself, squiring her aptly named boyfriend, Christian Ristow around the grungy tearoom teabagging and teaspoon-heating’ Tenderloin Rx Gallery, where three diabolectronicoes were showing off their kinetic art. A daily self-portrait for three months running in…

Niel Palleck is posting hilarious excerpts from the Democratic candidates campaign blogs: JOHN KERRY, August 8–I took the bus to Springfield today because my best friend got tickets to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, who were supposed to open for the White Stripes until Jack hurt his finger. I was pretty pissed, because I think it…

Found in my referrer logs over the weekend was a site called BreakingBlogs.com A beta apparently (with some annoying banner ads), it purports to list the top 300 deleted links in the last 24 hours. An interesting statistic, although I’m not sure of the ultimate purpose. BreakingBlogs.com appears to be a project of Don Drake…

David Weinberger is travelling with the Dean campaign on its Sleepless Summer tour and posting reports to the campaign’s Blog for America. (He is also posting them to Joho the Blog, his own weblog.) Some people think Dean should be doing his own blog, or that it’s not really a blog at all (“authentic voice…

This Moxie vs. Spiers dust-up is exactly the kind of thing that motivates me to get my quick links sideblog up and running and pronto.

The copy is the same as at Chris Pirillo’s regular home page, but the design, at least right now, is a tad racier over at Chris Pirillo’s Secret Hideaway. But don’t pass this link around. It’s a secret.
