Local Shortcuts (glossaries)

"New Radio feature: shortcuts. I updated Radio by right clicking on the Radio icon in the tray and selecting"update Radio.root" I then went into prefs and enabled shortcuts. I then went into the new menu items called"shortcuts" and put some items in. This is the best way to include stories and major posts in a weblog. Very often you post an item that refers to previous writing you have done, this is a great way to shortcut the process (very similar to automated footnotes). I am also putting in the weblog links for the people I reference often. That way, when I type Dave in quotes (ex: Dave Winer ) or bomb in quotes (ex: ) the link to scripting news or the bomb graphic shows up."

Local shortcuts are live (after updating) in Radio.  The auto-generation of Titled post and stories was something of a surprise, but a welcom feature all the same.

Emergence - Doug Miller @  Erehwon Notebook comtemplates emergent intelligence and decides to buy the book.

Hey, Doug you might also want to check out Kevin Kelly's Out of Control: The New Biology of Machines, Social Systems and the Economic World, which you can read online at http://www.kk.org/outofcontrol/index.html if you want to.

Slashnot Manila ?

"Here's a sneak preview of a new Manila feature we're cookin up. Yes, you'll be able to do Slashdot-style discussion groups with Manila. Jake's been having fun with it. Hehe."  Hmmm.  This appears to just point to a screenshot of a Slash theme.  I wonder if the 'feature' Dave refers to includes the self-organizing aspects of Slash.  Ratings, filters, etc.  All good stuff for collaborative filtering sites.
