Build a portal around content that's easy to create. Web Services top to bottom. There's a mind bomb waiting to happen over in content-management-land. Never say never.   [Scripting News] 9:24:39 PM

I started a directory of domain expert weblogs that I know of. We can build it with the suggest-a-link feature. Lawrence Lee and I will maintain the directory.

Radio is the ideal tool for working on such structures, but any combination of software that supports OPML and HTTP can play.  [Scripting News] 9:18:19 PM
