Steve Gillmor is the guest on Chris Pirillo's podcast.  
Rex Hammock: Podcasting needs no eBay. 
Steven Cohen: Revenge of the Blog People?  Danny Sullivan: "How would Google feel about programs that modified its search results?"  Quick comment on Danny's article. No mention of integrity issues. The issue for authors and publishers is whether readers know they're reading text that's been modified. How far can Google go? Can they correct our spelling? If so, can they correct our thinking? And if it's okay for a toolbar, what if Google (as widely rumored) is building a browser?   Mr Sun discovers Winer-rimmed glasses.
Don Park's story of two parrots. Sit down before reading it.  Monkey Media Report: "Google-worship sucks."  NY Times: "While still too much in its infancy to be considered an immediate threat to the radio industry, podcasting does present the prospect of a growing army of iPod-toting commuters who take programming decisions out of the hands of broadcasters and customize their own listening." 
Read this if you need a kidney Boing Boing: "Alex Crionas needs a kidney, and his friend Patrick Garrity would like to give him one. But the transplant was recently blocked by a coordinating group because Crionas published an account of his need for the procedure on a personal website." Good thing Dave Jacobs already got his kidney. And if I ever need one, I can't imagine not writing about it on my website. What happened to the First Amendment? And can you believe the argument that some people don't have access to the Internet? I don't. If you need a kidney, you'll find your way there. This is how the public gets educated on this stuff, by reading first-hand pleas from people in need. A lot of people learned about that by reading Dave's plea here. And what if I wrote it, not him (which I did, btw). Could he be penalized for something a friend of his did? (And if you read that piece, Dave got his kidney. This week he took his first post-transplant vacation with his wife and four boys. He's healthy, happy, glad to be alive.)
