Damn its hot today.

Edward Shenderovich on Vlogs:

flog-blog: "A few interesting ideas and thoughts on vlogging immediately came out:

- Vlogs are not an alternative to blogging, they are an alternative to television.
- Vlogs, unlike blogs may not focus on bi-directional communication (this seems to be the key differentiator). While blogging, in many respects, treats all network participant as equals, vlogging would create a fine line between publishers of information and its consumers.
- Linking is essential to blogging, frame-in-frame (picture-in-picture) and audio commentary overlays will make or break a vlog."

So is the idea of BlogThis! and the Toolbar pop-up blocker that we let the features fight it out? Or is it that Google is the only one allowed to do pop-ups.

Guess this is what they want us to do:

Google News: "The music industry has dramatically escalated its attack on internet file-trading networks by announcing plans to sue individuals who download copyright-protected music."

BookBlog: "Gratitude and admiration to Sam Ruby for catalyzing productive discussion about weblog standards."

FrontPage - Sam Ruby's Wiki: "Echo is an initative to develop a common syntax for syndication, archiving and a publishing API. This wiki is an open forum for discussing and collaborating on this initative.
Echo will be:
100% vendor neutral,
implemented by everybody,
freely extensible by anybody, and
cleanly and thoroughly specified.
For all of our work we will:
Release clear specifications describing it in detail.
Build tools to test conformance and interoperability.
Get it implemented in all the popular tools.
Let's put aside our differences and work together to achieve these goals. "

mamamusings: "The Supernova conference is fast approaching (just made my plane reservations! yay!), and so is Joi�s party. The party�s not just for Supernova attendees, however. It�s open invitation to bloggers generally, and I�m surprised to see the (relatively) short list of attendees on Joi�s wiki."

Nope. Didn't work.

How cool. I just selected text from my Radio news aggregator and published it.

News Aggregator: "Get wiki with it. The Supernova Wiki is now up and running, courtesy of my friends at Socialtext. "

Welcome to the Toolblog. A blog about, well, Tools, Bars, Toolbars, Bartools, Blogs, Barblogs, Blogbars and Blogtools. You get the idea.

This blog is initially set up to demo Blogger and what might be its coolest feature: select and post from the Google toolbar.
