Here’s my wrap up - synopsis of coolio links….. (which really means I’m cleaning house - and posting all these links I’m too lazy to do separately.)

I was exteremely stressed to hear that Yahoo was limiting its new publisher (AdSense killer ads) to the US.  That is so fucking stupid.  I had to send letters around to all my Yahooster friends - pleading with them t0 change this policy or else they’ll be losing toes.  I’d love to hear an undate on this story.

Interesting discussions going on about how to ‘fix Time-Warner’.   Hmmmmm.

Are Portals back in fashion?  NetVibes gets $1M.  THis is what I call DLA in action - new kinds of portals - aggregating, integrating and providing high levels of customization.  And its not just us who are saying this!

CNet bought Chowhound!  Its amazing to me that somebody wouldn’t immediately grok how important a purchase this is - yet the CNet writer asks “why?”  HELLO! Quality content, vibrant community, local info - come-on people - connect the dots!

Hopefully Paolo and Euan will have a good time together and successful blogger dinner.  Wish I was there!

Connecting Pandora to Last.fm is a great start towards some sort of OpenTaste.org. I know that our client Ruckus Networks wishes to participate in that.  You musical tastes are yet another kind of ‘end-user’ data that needs to be free to move around - within YOUR control - between systems.

Om Malik writes about the ‘New Office’ space - and coffee houses.  I wonder if he knows about Phil’s coffee house review site?

Orb has survived a real world stress test.  I’m heavily into Orb and helped convince them to go open source.  Please go check out - Orb!

New rev of the StructuredBlogging codebase is now out.

I agree wth Fred Wilson (or shall I say he agrees with me) on business models for Web 2.0.  Give it away for free and charge for premium features and services.

Amazon’s S3 service puts on-line storage back into the column of “must have features”. NetVibes is supporting Box.net.  Now somebody has to support Omnidrive.  And what about Xdrive?  Are they gonna have Open APIs?

Multi-user Wordpress - finally! Even YOU can host your own mini-TypePad. Good luck!  The distributed mesh continues to distribute.
