Adam Green discovers that if you link to a blogher, she’s likely to link you back. Yeah! Shelley said guys don’t link, but I haven’t found that… I’m getting way more linking action here than I ever have in momblogland.
Adam asks, “When is the next Blogher?” It’s Friday July 28th and Saturday July 29th at […]

I’d like to take a given blog and generate an OPML feed subscription list from it. The idea is to look at their blogroll, their posts, and possibly even their commenters to get a list of who they’re reading and who pays attention to them–their neighborhood, I guess. I’d eventually like to turn it into […]

Tech bloggers almost always blog under their real names. One thing that made it easier to start blogging under my own name here was to change it. My married name was a name I used anyway so it didn’t feel disruptive to use it online. It felt like an easy and empowering way to instantiate […]

It was a pretty easy decision to drop the ASP.NET/C# class I was taking when I realized that open-source was the way to go. It’s been more difficult to think about dropping out of the web design certificate I’ve been pursuing at Sessions.edu. I began it over the summer once I realized that I wanted […]

Steve Gillmor on Marc Benioff, founder and CEO of salesforce.com:
Marc even appears to understand the fundamental value, if not yet the disruptive quality, of RSS and “social production,” where creating and provisioning apps should be “as easy as creating blogs.”
I love that idea: that anyone—programmer or not, monied or not—can think up and build a […]

I hacked away merrily at my Blogger template over the weekend ’til it looked okay in Firefox 1.5 and then published it, figuring I’d check how it looked in other browsers later. Rick, my husband and in-house tester, took a look at it with IE6 and blech. The main page is getting truncated where my […]

I was both sad and confused when I read that SearchFox was shutting down. I had hoped it might provide the next efficiency improvement in my feed reading through its personalized news reader. I wondered why they would shut down during what looks like a huge funding bubble without ever trying to attract a large […]

The problem I’d most like to solve as a technologist and as a blogger is information overload. When I moved beyond mom blogging into tech blogging I discovered an entire new ocean of information. Today I feel like a tow-in surfer at Jaws, Maui’s North shore surfing site famous for its monster waves. Today I […]

Look at this cool idea: GoogleMontage builds a photo montage based on search words you provide. landismom of Bumblebee Sweet Potato found it using the Firefox StumbleUpon extension, a “collaborative surfing tool for browsing.” I haven’t tried that extension yet but it sounds fun.
Here’s the montage I built of where I am right now psychologically […]

Here’s a categorization of blogs from a ComScore report on blogosphere behavior:
Politics/News
Hipster
Tech
Women (Authored)
Media
Personal
What?!? Why would blogs written by women be categorized by characteristics of their authors rather than by what subject they write about? Shouldn’t Michelle Malkin’s blog be categorized under Politics/News? Isn’t Dooce the best example of personal blogging there is? ComScore says […]
