A simple fix for Manila referer spam.  Thanks to Ed Felten for a pointer to the NY Times robots.txt file. Maybe they should run a story about this in the Week In Review next Sunday. Bret Fausett: "It seems that an article making the rounds on Googlenews -- '.org Registry Vanishes Into Thin Air' -- has no merit whatsoever. Simon Willison is doing a makeover of Scripting News using the latest CSS technology. Guardian: The blog clog myth. Read the closing paragraph of the Guardian piece for an idea why yesterday's Times piece was so dangerous. We watch Google carefully for good reasons, and spurious claims like the one by Orlowski, and repeated in the Times, create confusion, and increase the risk that we'll miss a real problem when it comes up. This should have been caught by the Times before the piece appeared in Sunday's issue. They have no issue with Google, their issue is with their publisher. Heather Armstrong: "The amount of hate mail you might receive from high-minded Times readers could be a little daunting." Jim Waldo: "Common wisdom, especially in distributed computing, says that the right approach to all problems is to use a standard. This common wisdom has no basis in fact or history, and is curtailing innovation and rewarding bad behavior in our industry." Doyen: "A man who is the senior member of a group." Ed Cone: Guidelines for journalists with weblogs. Register: "BT wants to bring wireless broadband to thousands of boozers across the UK." News.Com: "Goldman has a problem. He's betting his company on the validity of the two patents, both of which are questionable because of other work that was published well before the filing dates of the Mailblocks patents." NY Times: "The wiki, a quirky software technology that has been kicking around the Web since the mid-90's, is starting to gain respectability." |
