Sen No Sen

In a series on “10 Tech Trends”, FORTUNE magazine gives us the reasons “Why There’s No Escaping the Blog.”

Freewheeling bloggers can boost your product - or destroy it. Either way, they’ve become a force business can’t afford to ignore.

You’d better believe it!

mmm…’ wonder what Dave has in mind with this new feature?

As the fantastic IT Conversations archive has grown to more that 300 shows, with a new show being added most every day, Doug Kaye has updated the RSS/Podcast Feeds page to allow specific topic-based subscription to the various formats (text/mp3/AAC).

Highly recommended.

The SearchEngineWatch blog points to the new look over at Waypath and its new “Blogs on the News” service.

They also offer tools/bookmarklets and even sport their own APIs.

Worth checking out.

As Lockergnome notes:

Man, it seems like everybody and their brother is getting into the RSS feed creation side of the tech industry. One of the latest ideas to hit the market is called My RSS Creator. Designed to be so simple that just about anyone can do it, you can create your very own RSS channels with very little effort on your part at all.

Better make that everybody and their brother, his friends and his cousin’s nextdoor neighbor’s friends!

The more the merrier!

Cause of the uproar is the 57-page Classified Intelligence LLC report, “Competing with Craig” according to which newspapers are claiming that classified advertising on craigslist is costing them 50-65 million U.S. dollars a year!

Wow, no wonder eBay bought a slice of it.

Whoa!

Lots of different, cool and interesting stuff happening at the 21st Congress of the Chaos Computer Club in Berlin.

And, how about this remark at the bottom of the page:

This web site doesn’t really look nice when viewed with Internet Explorer, as the Internet Explorer stopped keeping up pace with the developments in the World Wide Web a long time ago. We recommend using Mozilla FireFox instead.

Oh well, for those of us who cannot attend, at least theres a blog and a wiki to keep in touch with it all.

How about this?: the iPod-Linux Installer:

The first beta version of iCab 3 is available for registered users.

After the first final release, we will offer “iCab Pro” for $29 / 29 EUR. You will also be able to download a version for free.

Even though it has long lagged behind other browsers in terms of CSS support, iCab remains an important alternative with many distinguishing features.
