John Robb: "Did the Internet enable a new economy? I think the latest evidence says that it has. But it isn't the new economy corporate America expected." 

John Sumser: "Small businesses create capital that is given to banks so that large companies can multiply it. Like lawyers, large organizations are risk mitigators whose challenge is not creation but maintenance. This is a task that small operations routinely fail. Small organizations make large gains possible. Large organizations thrive on the incremental." 

Paolo Valdemarin: "Having access to this world of information will do no good unless we provide the tools to decode and understand this huge amount of data that the new economy helping us to create." 

Wow. Look at all the Danish weblogs. What's cool about this is that even though the list appears on my site, it's edited by Guan Yang, a Danish programmer who I met last year in Copenhagen. How did I know to look there? Thomas Madsen-Mygdal mentioned it on his weblog which pings weblogs.com. It's quite a worldwide knowledge network we have. 

Essay: Ideas for standards work. Draft. 

Mark Pilgrim posts a Python method for monitoring Google term ownership. 

Adam Wendt: "Its May 18th and it's snowing in southern New Hampshire." 

Peter Rutten: "We sued the tobacco companies. One day we will sue the media industry. For half a century worth of lies and violence that they've showered upon us. For what they've done to human dignity. For how they became the story, instead of just the people reporting on it." 

NY Times: "The judge overseeing the Microsoft trial appeared highly skeptical today of a proposal made by nine states on how to enforce the tough antitrust restrictions they are seeking." 

Last year on this day: "So if it takes three tries to get it right, why was Lotus 1.0 such a big hit? Because it was really VisiCalc 3.0." 

On this day in 1998 I was in Maine, and the US government sued Microsoft for antitrust violations.
