Cringely: Son of Napster

Jim Moore notes that presidential politics is played with chump change. Bush will raise $200 million to control a budget of $1.7 trillion. That's leverage! 

Deane Barker: "Here's an idea that credit card companies should implement: a RSS feed of your credit purchases." 

Chris Lydon interviews David Sifry, developer of Technorati. 

I upgraded the Berkman weblog server, now all the weblogs can have Trackback. I wrote a howto. It'll be interesting to see what kinds of questions come up at tonight's meeting.  

Trawling for ideas for the technology panel at BloggerCon. 

BloggerCon has a logo, designed by Bryan Bell, of course. 

Mike Walsh would like Chris to interview some non-bloggers. Reading Mike's site, I now understand why some people find Scripting News a bit brash even in their face. I could say "Here's why Mike's weblog is a failure" or "How Mike could do better with his weblog." Mike would probably say it the first way. So would l. Why? It sells more papers. If you want people to click, say something provocative. If you want to blend into the crowd, say the same thing politely.  

NY Times: "Enabling wireless technology in university auditoriums has led to a back channel of communication for students to reveal their thoughts." 

Ray Ozzie: "WiFi sniffing is easy to do, it is commonly done, and the real question is at what point will someone do real damage by using what they sniff, and when will this be brought to the public's eye by the courts or by Congress?" 

David Galbraith: "RSS is a winning meme, people outside of the grass roots weblog are starting to talk about and use it and RSS 2.0 passes the good enough test (with a couple of tweaks imho) for applications beyond headline syndication." 

Essay: What changed with RSS? 

Last year on this day: "Silent signs of progress."
