Winer on Dean

I agree with Tony Goodson: What a great piece by Dave Winer on Howard Dean and American Politics and the control of the media…

Spam comments and the power of community

I’ve just started to suffer from Spam comments the latest effort by these wretches to publicise their sites. They basically post fatuous comments to weblogs

Google translates compliments well… but strangles a lot of stuff!

At the NGO conference (blogged yeserday and the day before) I met Martin Roell a German blogger and e-business guru. He’s blogged the event in

SharpReader

I’ve finally started paying attention to RSS and all this stuff about “Blog Aggregators”. The final shove was wanting to get Martin Roell’s English feed.
