One reason I absolutely love my Treo:
Always having a blogreader with me means never having to resort to perusing shampoo ingredients when I forget reading material on those long craps.
You know you do it, don’t even look at me that way.
Next time you’re stuck on the crapper finding out how much hydroxypro-pyltrimonium chloride is in your salon selectives you can think of me.
This one is strictly for all the other losers out there who blog.
We need someone to write the plugin which will end the problem of expired material.
I think I have it in concept. I use trillian as an IM client. As I write, it adds hyperlinks to words that link back to wikipedia entries on the subject.
We need a similar plugin for blogs and our archives.
What if, as we posted, hyperlinks were added to our most used words- linking to dynamically created archives of all the other posts which used that same word or phrase.
Hello.
It would have to have a few features to make it work. First off, it would have to offer a blacklist of too-common words like “and” and “the” that we could add to and personalize. It’s sensitivity would have to be adjustable also.
I really think it would solve the problem of outdated material. Once something is posted it’s forgotten and that sucks. When I’m in a conversation I’m alaways pulling up pieces of old thoughts and making them new again. That’s how we think, how we communicate- why not make it a more natural process for blogging?
Warning: Tool Ahead.
As seen on seanbonner’s site: Why I asked bloglines to remove my site from it’s service.
Yeah! I asked bloglines to do the same. Then I asked every online user in the whole world to never share a file again. I also called each “ed” in the phone book and let them know that I have fist dibbs on our name. I still thought I had a little pretentious bastard left in me so I went ahead and sued an orphan who used one of the jokes I casually told in public without referencing me.
If I am not mistaken, isn’t it your RSS FEED that bloglines is showing people?
AND IF I MAY GO FURTHER WITH MY CONJECTURE, DIDN’T YOU PUT IT THERE FOR FEEDREADERS TO AGGREGATE IT, YOU RIDICULOUS GREEDY TOOL?
Ugh. People are so funny. And here we all thought that only organizations like the RIAA were myopic and self-serving enough to limit the use of their content.
Obviously he thinks he’s losing ad revenue and possibly risking having his content dangerously close to ads from another competitor. Um, ok. He tosses people a bone with the following:
For the 190 of you who subscribe to this site through Bloglines, I apologize for any inconvenience, but I think that you will still find my site easily accessible, here.
Screw that- I would like to extend a warm invitation to all 190 of his previous subscribers: YOU CAN SUBSCRIBE TO ME INSTEAD. You’ll laugh a hell of a lot more and be able to use bloglines until you puke. Bloglines kicks much ass. I’m not afraid to let them MAKE ME ACCESSIBLE TO HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE- AT THEIR CONVIENIENCE. So subscribe away. There’s a link on the right- click it into submission.
Tony Pierce made it onto screen savers to promote his new book, How To Blog (which would make a pretty cool gift for any blogger you may know…) and his site, the busblog.
It’s exciting to see blogging gaining greater recognition as a medium. Along side that, it’s cool that busblog getting some exposure. If you haven’t checked out the site, zip over & poke around- it’s consistantly on. It’s a great mixture of cool, indignant, cocky and “hi mom.” Even the stuff where I’m like “Tony, you don’t know crap,” I still dig how he flows. His post earlier in the year on how to blog was one of the inspirations of my own satirical HTB post. (look out for the advanced list coming out soon.)
Before you check out the clip, I must mention my surprise that he has the voice of Keenen Ivory Wayans. I was expecting more of a Mario Van Peebles, but that’s cool.
