Blog researchers may get a lot from this article >>> Why Blogs Haven't Stormed the Business World Among other things, this article includes links to blog development tools for computers, handheld devices, etc.

Quote: "The main virtue of blogging is that it closes the arms gap between informed, individual users and official outlets of information." (snip) "But at the rate they're going, blog tools are merely building simple heaps of information, giant mounds of unorganized content. Developers of these tools must implement technologies for moving and transforming entire weblogs before things get seriously out of hand."

Doing time for sending slime...throw 'em in jail and seize their assets earned from spamming >>> Spammers Could Go To Jail

Aren't you getting sick of this question, yet? A recent hire has them placing bets. "One of Silicon Valley's favorite parlor games is guessing when Google will go public." >>> Google Finds a Good Analyst


I was considering buying the Proposal Kit but wasn't quite sure it wasn't another hyped blob of software I'd never use. Not anymore. See Kalena Jordan's amazing review of the product's packages here, and decide for yourself >>> Close The Sale With Proposal Kit - Product Review

For search engine racing fans..."In the US, perhaps surprisingly, Yahoo performs 26 per cent of the 790 million average weekly U.S. searches, slightly ahead of Google on 23 per cent. MSN Search is third with 19 per cent of worldwide searches and 17 per cent of the US with AOL's scores being 12 per cent and 20 per cent respectively." See Google ahead in search-engine league
