Blog-Spotting With IBM
Not entirely clear how this works. It's not a service. It seems like it is a software that you install and then I suppose set it loose on some set of blogs. Wouldnt' it be better if it were a service, for scalability if nothing else?

Doing the numbers on the AOL-WeblogsInc deal
So, this is an interesting take on what the value of a link is based on AOL's purchase of Weblogs Inc., a blog publishing network. Are these the types of metrics we should be using in business? What price visibility?

There's an interesting debate here. Will existing media companies just hire bloggers and suddenly become new media companies? I.e., the continuation of the old guard. Or, will new entrants be the ones to watch?

Niall Kennedy's Weblog: More TypePad 2.0 details
Niall's take on Sixapart's move toward community sites like the learning remix. I think he misperceives the potential impact of the tools. They are not for lazy people but for people who want to pull together disparate community members.

Project Comet
This is a project not unlike our learning remix. We expect to see it in 2006. The limit I see here is the extent to which it enables entrepreneurially remixing. It seems like a mass market project oriented toward family and friends.

Insider reports suggest to me that bloggers are essentially viewed as staff writers in most companies. Therefore, the average person won't make much, but there will be some stars. Blogging is clearly not a full time profession for most.

Slashdot | Intelligence in the Internet Age
So, is the BIT320 remix making us smarter or dumber? According to this slashdot post, we may be in trouble for traditional learning purposes. I suspect there is an issue in getting people to adopt this kind of novel style also.
