Bloglines: 248/802. Read right down to 200, though. Starting to think that I might schedule days to read certain folders ...

Introducing the AO/Technorati Open Media 100 :: AO
Introducing the AO/Technorati Open Media 100 :: AO: "AlwaysOn and Technorati are pleased to present the first annual 'Open Media 100,' the power list of bloggers, social networkers, tool smiths, and investors leading the Open Media Revolution."
Tim O'Reilly: O'Reilly Media.
A pleasant surprise. I wonder if it was more for conferences than the stack of books at every geek's desk?
Mark Fletcher: Bloglines (acquired by AskJeeves).
Excellent! One of my favorite drugs, even if one of my goals is to stop reading bloglines every 5 minutes
Jonathan Abrams: Friendster. Tom Anderson, Chris DeWolfe: MySpace. Paul Martino, Mark Pincus: Tribe.net.
YASN! Tribe ate my head for quite some cycles, now it's been relegated to rss mostly.
Joshua Schachter: Del.icio.us. Stewart Butterfield, Caterina Fake: Flickr (acquired by Yahoo!).
The usual suspects
N. Z. Bear: The Truth Laid Bear
Oh! There's a surprise. The new release is quite nice. Guess I'll have to poke around there a bit ...
Bloglines
Bloglines: 212/801.
837 by tomorrow, I'd guess.

Technorati Weblog: Welcome to the New Technorati!
Technorati Weblog: Welcome to the New Technorati!
Beta busts out. RSS feeds for tags (feed at the bottom of the search results). A better dashboard.
Now I've got to track down all those beta.technorati.com feeds ...
Multiply
Multiply added pay options for media uploads, themes, CSS, custom right margin.
"[Messages page] works more like a message board than like e-mail. The main difference between Multiply and other message boards is that Multiply includes all the discussions going in throughout your network, as opposed to being focused on one specific topic. At any time, you can "adjust" the messages page to show you less, or more, of what's going on in your network."
Looks like you could read all of your groups and friends via this. Subscribe to a thread via email is a really nice option. Now, if they only had rss for these!
Technorati Party: Wednesday June 22, 2005 in San Francisco
Sifry's Alerts: Technorati Party: Wednesday June 22, 2005 in San Francisco: "We'd like to invite you and your friends to House of Shields in downtown San Francisco next Wednesday, June 22, at 6:30 p.m. And there might also be a few surprises."
RSVP's requested.
Supernova 2005
I must say that we have better shirts downtown due to Supernova. I feel like I'm at a concert cruzing the shirts. Geek quotient waaay up.
Bloglines
Bloglines: 406/790. Bah!
And this morning's reading even made fun of feed numbers ...

XFN
XFN - XHTML Friends Network is a simple way to represent human relationships using hyperlinks.
Busted out the blogrolls, cooked a few XFN links, pinged rubhub.com, and docked the XFN Dumper.
A partial solution to keeping track of my friends many personas. I'm resisting cutting a private page per person ...
Now, about that Identity consolidation ... "A user with an XFN Friendly blog, blogroll, or web site, can use that site as a nexus for linking together all these otherwise disparate and isolated social networking sites"

Upcoming.org
Upcoming.org
The Technorati Party floated by, so I spent some time poking around. Friends! You can add anyone (nonreciprocal) and then see their events on your 'home page'. And a rss feed for My Friends' Events, natch.
A couple of pathfinders:
waxpancake,
SFist, marccanter, merlinmann.
20050617
Upcoming.org
Upcoming.org
They've certainly got the rss slices down. My Friend's Events is nice. Not many events, though. I was wondering why the tag rss feeds were so quiet ...
We've added support for related tags, and our wonderful users created a MovableType plugin and API clients for Python, Java, and Ruby.

Tag Tuesday
Tag Tuesday: "With many thousands of users adopting tags, we thought it would be a good idea to gather tag developers every month to exchange ideas, and encourage code that works well together."
Left work late. Caught every red light on the way, which meant that I klunked into limbo on the way. It was a gaggle of Geeks with beer (well, Gordon Biersch, anyways) bellowing above musack. The highlight for me was stickers. I even saw someone peeling the top of their laptop to center a new acquisition. Now I'm on a quest for a Laughing Squid sticker (how have I overlooked them all this time?)
Kevin Marks from Technorati couldn't be heard above the drunks (no, the other drunks). So, the cats were herded outside and we ended up on some steps facing the water. Short informal talks followed. I think that more pictures were taken than words spoken.
Technorati: tags visible, protocol independent.
Flickr: interestingness, tag decay, timeliness vs quality.
I did get a nice list of tags, though! beer and group, whatsinyourbag and group, pothole , chimping, pinhole, transparentscreen, sometaithurts, sleep and sleeping.
Some Uniform chased us off yelling 'Earthquake, Earthquake, GollyZilla' and we scattered. Guess it was really Tsunami Tuesday. Some nice folks herded a few of us to their loft where people were pleasingly antisocial behind their tech. I certainly heard more Gnomedex than Supernova.

Chimping
Ocala Photographers: "* 'chimping' can be loosely defined as 'the act of reviewing digital images on the LCD screen' or 'referring to the animal-like sound digital photographers' make when spotting a great shot on the back of their cameras' or 'looking at the digital images you just took, when you should still be concentrating on taking them' !"
Oh! Learned new word and have new feed

Evil Alien
(Yet) Another Hole in the Head: "Evil Aliens is a one of the greatest SplatStick horror-comedies ever made
West’s movie ranks right up there with Dead/Alive, Evil Dead 2, Re-Animator, Return of the Living Dead, Bad Taste and Shaun of the Dead. We’re not kidding, this movie kicks ass – you will not be disappointed. Get your tickets early and look to the skies."

OpenID: an actually distributed identity system
OpenID: an actually distributed identity system: "This is a distributed identity system, but one that's actually distributed and doesn't entirely crumble if one company turns evil or goes out of business."
OpenID is maturing quickly and there are already a couple of little applications which can accept OpenID logins. LiveJournal is already providing an identity server so that LiveJournal users can log in to other OpenID sites. The next step is to make LiveJournal be what we've been calling a consumer of OpenID, meaning that external users can log in here.

I saw one walking by the wall of shame at Safeway and thought "Oh, yea, I've
been meaning to try this. It probably tastes like dirty bud, which, frankly, would be an improvement." I got it home, opened it while putting away the groceries
and wandered over to my desk and set it down to login and etc. It was only later
when I saw the enticing beer shaped bottle that I took a drink and thought

A Rat-Fink soda? Cough Syrup? Zima? Yuck!
Budweister sez that it's a 'great mixture of beer and new flavors'. I think that Cruft nailed it as 'something akin to beer with a Flintstone's vitamin ground up in it.' It's practically one of those dreaded wine coolers. Heck, it probably mixes well with Kool-Aid

Buh? I was looking at some fallow feeds when I noticed someone else subscribed to a goofy word search. My feeds have been slurped by shieon! Looks like they tossed 5+ peoples ompl files together ...
Well, I just reaped though their blogroll, which was mighty disorienting, and ended up at 376/785 feeds. A couple of good bay area blogs (some SFists, even) and a stack of publishing/pop culture blogs.
Now, whatever was it that I sat down to do?

eastbayexpress.com had no less that three fleas in it. I saw a nest of inserts in the box when I got the paper and combed one out of the paper to leave a mark of disgust. Then another fell out when I opened it. And then yet a third one was found creeping within. Someone over there needs their account washed out with nasty chemicals.

Poked at Friendster a bit. The blogs are full featured but quite bolted on (but have an rss feed). The groups are decent but seem quite underused (and do not have rss feeds). Bonus that you can put an rss feed onto your profile page. I just swapped mine over from bloglines (a bunch of noise) to this one ...
