DaveNet: Chris Lydon Speaks of Emerson and Weblogs

The PKD Foundation is the "only organization, worldwide, devoted to improving clinical treatment and discovering a cure for Polycystic Kidney Disease." 

Essay: Escaping Microsoft's Dominance. "[Google] could be the foundation for a platform, but this company is even less prepared to compete, imho, than Netscape was." 

An Amazon employee with a weblog. "This is a cheap place. Wait, did I say cheap? I mean frugal." 

Here's a sketch of how a Subscriptions Harmonizer would work for people who use more than one aggregator.  

Brian Cantoni did a FTP-and-OPML-based harmonizer.  

East Broadway Ron: "The Mets stink worse than East Broadway on a hot summer afternoon." 

Jim Moore: "Moveon.org has about two million registered members. If half of them -- one million members -- gave just $1000 each, this would add up to a billion dollars." 

Microdoc News: "You may be ignored, linked to, ranted at, but nevertheless, you can have your say on your own weblog and continue to be a member of the blogosphere." 

AP: "Corbis Corp, a photography-archiving company owned by billionaire Bill Gates, filed a federal lawsuit Monday against Amazon.com and several partners, alleging copyright infringement." 

Chris Pirillo's Amazon feeds are now customizable. 

NY Times: "Buddy Hackett, the streetwise comedian from Brooklyn with a face like a plate of mashed potatoes, died yesterday at his beach house in Malibu, Calif. He was 78." 

Register: "With patents allowed, small software companies may suddenly find themselves faced with accusations of patent infringement from IBM, Microsoft, HP, Sun etc etc. They can agree to pay a licence and see their profits slashed or go to court and spent on average £300,000 fighting the case." 

Casady & Greene: "It is with profound regret that we inform you that Casady & Greene will close its doors on July 3rd, 2003, after nineteen years in the Software Publishing business. We have endured many industry downturns, but the last three years have presented a series of economic disasters from which we were unable to rebound."
