TailRank seems to promise what I was trying to do with the Long Tail of the Blogosphere site, in that it tries to help you discover long tail content.. but the content it shows you is sorted by the number of incoming links. Entries with no incoming links don’t seem to show up. What makes [...]
It’s disappointing to see Dare say that RSS Bandit would stay as a .NET Framework 1.1 application for at least a year, maybe two. Why do I want RSS Bandit to be a .NET 2.0 application? I’m not exactly sure. It’s probably similar to the reason that people wanted Win32 apps when Windows 95 was [...]
Okay so it seems a bit spammy, but it could also be a really interesting way to promote a website. BlogExplosion is a directory of blogs. What makes it unique is that once you’ve added your blog to it, you can earn credits by using it to view the blogs of other members of BlogExplosion. [...]

Google now has Google Reader in beta. When I heard the name Google Reader, my first thought was some new take on the Adobe Reader, or an eBook reader.. I’m not sure the world needs yet another feed reader, but Google’s stuff so far has been top notch so I’m willing to give it a [...]
Dave sold his ping server sold for $2.3 million dollars. This depresses me. I’ve had the opportunities to create the sorts of things in the blogging space that have now started turning into real cash for their creators, but I’ve never had the time to really pursue them.
