is still a fascinating subject, though if anything the newspapers appear to be moving even further away from “getting it” than ever. Alan Rusbridger is the editor of The Guardian and has some important thoughts on the subject that he delivered in a speech on the 16th of March in London. Jeff Jarvis has posted a detailed summary with quotes on his blog, BuzzMachine.

The cover of Newsweek
this week features Caterina Fake and Stewart Butterfield and they have published a pretty good article related to Flickr and the whole “Web 2.0” phenomenon: The New Wisdom of the Web.
This (on the right) is just a test,
at least for now. I’ve signed up for Google’s AdSense program and I’m going to experiment with having a few ads on this site. I don’t expect that they will remain there indefinitely, but hopefully they won’t be too intrusive.
Comments are always welcome, pro or con!
Blast from the past:
Back in the day, one of the earliest assessments of weblogs’ popularity was available through the Beebo Metalog. A couple of days ago, Michael Stillman (the guy behind Beebo) reposted a slice of that from September 2000: Beebo! Metalog and Metalog Ratings. This site, which did exist back then, wasn’t on the list of the top 50 sites, but it was among the pool of sites that made up the rankings. Then, as now, mikel.org kept quite a low profile.
The new web service
from Amazon, Amazon S3, is very interesting. It’s very simply API-addressable storage on the internet at a very low rate – 15 cents a month per Gig of storage and 20 cents per Gig of transfer. Am I wrong, or would it be trivially easy for the guy who made my backup software to integrate this into his software in some way so that I could have cheap overnight offsite backups? I know I could use Automator to upload a full backup image to Amazon S3 once a week – which is just what I plan to do.
