BBC: "Like sushi restaurant conveyor belts, RSS delivers content to people so they can easily pick what they want to read."  Matt Deatherage: "Programmers from the early days like Dave are used to being told they can't do things, and then they sat down and did them anyway."  Don Park: Conference-jacking. 
Infoworld: "Google is contemplating various improvements to its popular Blogger Web logging service, including native image uploading and deeper integration with the company's Gmail Web-mail service." 
Mark Glaser's report from BlogNashville.  Pssst Charles, try IT Conversations. It's exactly what you're looking for.   And Charles, here's some good advice. Pandering for links that way is un-cool.  Geek News notes that we're talking more about Yahoo these days.  Library Stuff reports on four new feeds from the US Copyright Office.  backstage.bbc.co.uk is the BBC's new developer network.  Glenn Reynolds's Instapundit weblog is quite a flow machine. In the last few days since BlogNashville, he's been sending his readers over here, always with a scolding message. My behavior isn't up to his standards, I am too rude for him, so he's now telling everyone who reads his blog that I'm not a nice person. Okay, I'll survive. I'm not your typical shirking liberal, scared of a few nasty words from the Limbaugh crowd. Only it's a surprise to see Reynolds defending their right to control the conversation, especially since he didn't have anything to say at the session on Saturday. It's like the citizen who doesn't vote yet has the gall to complain about the outcome. Over the objections of those who Reynolds defends, the mission actually was accomplished, we came up with a great list of shared values -- imho that's what we should be discussing. Right and Left did get together on Saturday, between the slurs and attacks, we managed to draft a pretty good list. It's not ratified by anyone, but at least it's the beginning of an important discussion.
At the beginning of the conference we sang America The Beautiful. At the time I wasn't sure if that was the right song, but after the fact I feel it was the perfect song. So to Glenn Reynolds, you pointed to me when I was sarcastic and angry. How about pointing to me now? Sure I don't agree with your focus, but I will fight to the death for your right to speak, for your dignity as an American, for your right to disagree with me. Let's get back on the road to success in America. And to do that, we need everyone's help.
