Okay, it's time for me to start figuring out how to send an end-of-the-day email to a list of subscribers so you don't have to keep visiting my site every day if you don't want to. I know I could create a list at Yahoo Groups or Topica, or I could use something like NotifyList, but I'm really looking to automate this process. I think Dave has automated this, but I don't know how. Maybe it's something in Manila and/or Frontier, but most likely it's something he's programmed. Dave, what's your secret?

So does anyone have any advice for the best route here?

"Lawrence wrote a howto for moving content from Blogger and Movable Type into Radio 8. This is still a new art, so if you're not an early adopter, let other people pave the path for you. A few have already made it across."  [via Scripting News]

So Lori, if you decide to give Radio a try, you wouldn't lose all of your previous posts.  Good to know!

Web Journals by Pros Are a Font of Insight "Tech 'bloggers' (that's really what they call themselves) are most often industry pros who keep their Weblog as a hobby-something to do at 2:40 a.m. While some of the sites offer straight tech news, most are sprinkled with a lot of personality, authoritative firsthand information, and fresh insights. With so many tech magazines out of business (we're not naming names), these e-newsletters, once solely for tech heads, are becoming mandatory information sources for the mainstream." [at Fortune, via Scripting News]

This is what I was trying to say on the ILA RTSF list last week. I don't really read tech magazines anymore, and while I have a core set of mailing lists to which I'm subscribed, I get most of my news, tech tips, and insights from blogs now.

This is part of a larger phenomenon I've noticed in my life that I plan to write an essay about soon.
