Blog link tracking has come along way since Technorati and Daypop where at the top of the list. New sites have come along and bloggers have never had it so good in terms of choice.
The Blog Herald provides an overview of 6 blog link tracking sites.
Deutsche Welle says: Blogs Making Baby Steps in German Politics
“Germany is still a developing country when it comes to blogs,” said Markus Beckedahl, who blogs at netzpolitik.org. “The awareness of blogs as a means of political communication needs to be raised in Germany.”
You said it, Markus.
“Maybe one day the realization will come through that the Internet can lead to a new form of communication between politicians and voters,” Politik Digital’s Dowe said. “That is a long way off in Germany…
No kidding! Maybe one day…

Seen the cool MP3 Jukebox on Robot Wisdom?
As the guy who coined the term ‘weblog’, I wanna propose that this
Flash app makes mp3-blogging practical for the first time. The basic
features are identical to the archetypal weblog: you link your good
finds in reverse order, and people who like your taste check in
regularly to hear what you’ve found, checking them in order, skipping
ones they already know, and when they hear something they want to
investigate further, jumping to this page for a link.
Must look into this.
Steve Rubel: The Blogosphere is Flat
As the blogosphere becomes more flat, the so-called “A-list” won’t matter anymore. There will be A-lists in virtually every sector. The geeks will continue to read Scoble and Winer in droves, but other kings will be crowned in domains like autos, movies, baseball, etc.
Still got a few days to look into this: blogday.wikispaces.org
In one long moment In August 31st, bloggers from all over the world will post a recommendation of 5 new Blogs, Preferably, Blogs different from their own culture, point of view and attitude. On this day, blog surfers will find themselves leaping and discovering new, unknown Blogs, celebrating the discovery of new people and new bloggers.

Introducing LibriVox!
An open source audio-literary attempt to harness the power of the many to record and disseminate, in podcast form, books from the public domain. It works like this: a book is chosen, then *you*, the volunteers, read and record one or more chapters. We liberate the audio files through this webblog/podcast every week (day ?). LibriVox is a VOLUNTEER project: if you have problems with the quality of a recording, get busy and make another one; If you wish to listen, please enjoy; if you wish to record, please contact librivox.
Brilliant idea. Way to go, Hugh!

It is, I’m horrified to report, a direct quote: %u201CWe gotta get into that blogging thing if we want to get snaps from younger readers…%u201D
Now, if you happen to hear these words coming from a very senior, 50-something editor at a well-known American newspaper I’m sure your reaction will be exactly like mine, namely: “uh-oh, I’m going to have a grand mal seizure now…”

‘ just picked up on some interesting thoughts by Jeff Jarvis:
There are two kinds of stuff on the internet:
* Resources and articles and other static gems.
* Feeds and lists and conversations and other dynamic goodies.
Even that is a quite imperfect bucketing of the wonders of online but stay with me for a second, for it’s at least a useful means of distinguishing some fundamental aspects of Web 1.0 from 2.0 and what’s coming next and what’s needed…
Lists: A new means of creating, finding, organizing, aggregating, communicating, recommending, acting, marketing, consuming…
Feedthink. I like it.
Now that Dave’s new toy is out, I hope the Mac version will follow soon!
In the meantime, I’m watching the list of blogs grow
Good value!
