"Quite fun to see Nielsen getting into weblog usability… should really just go check our the problogger but still pretty interesting… how do you measure up?" Well, I'm probably missing one or two.

O'Reilly Radar > The Secret Sauce of Writely
"behind every successful Web 2.0 company there'll be someone who understands the user." Personally, I might add that every successful Web 2.0 app will fulfill a need felt by many users.

This is interesting. It's a script for turning RSS into HTML. That is a commodity.

XML.com: Very Dynamic Web Interfaces
A very nice article on using XML over http with javascript to make more responsive web interfaces. It points to the browser alone as a model for interaction with web applications. No need for dhtml or the non-standard flash.

fac.etio.us
This sort of works. It allows you to view things by tag such as all the people using it etc. It's a step in the right direction. I would like a webservices interface.

Experimenting with Picasa and Hello
In my book, the brain-dead interface of blogger wins for novices. You can get people on and doing it with almost no effort. It's nice to see that additional features are added with that guiding concept in mind.

Eyetools Research Blog: Blog Analysis and Optimization with Eyetracking -- or "Oh, oh, that blog's writing needs fixing"
Neat eye tracking tool. Shows the standard result that people read from left-to-right, top-to-bottom. This should be a standard aspect of any web design. What is the marginal value of the tool beyond these standard results?

What's the Problem?
Advocates bringing use cases (software engineering technique) over to web design. Seems smart to me since web design is just another version of software development.

Alternative views on Apple's Shuffle
How to get more out of ipods when listening to podcasts. Seems one needs to do a little teaching on his site if he is going to do this.

Problems with podcasts on generic MP3 players
Podcasts are catching on, but the problem is that MP3s are one binary unsearchable blob.

Like podcasts? Pass on the iPod Shuffle
A good view on how MP3 players could better support podcasting. Some of these requirements are obvious on your first attempt to listen to one.
