Well, here's a start. I finally got Blogger API working with Radio. Now, I can post to Radio and the same post will show up on my Blogger blog. Neat.

I've always wanted to know the geographic location for the blogs that I read. Now, I can place the OPML file for my aggregator into The Georoll and its displayed. Sadly, only a few are shown (about 9 out of 200[ish]) but it is a start. (link via Yahoo Groups - Aggregators)

Geoff is "collecting examples of corporate intranets or large-scale enterprise projects that use weblogging software. A number of articles have been written in trade publications, but rarely do they show or describe actual examples."

I'm sure someone here can help Geoff out. I've had many conversations with corporate librarians at conferences, but can't remember any names. Sorry Geoff.

Newswire consists of a set of software components packaged as a single application. The main application functionality allows the user to subscribe to a potentially large number of publishers, and to receive (short) messages from these publishers.  The message content may range from complete articles to short descriptions with links, similar to the individual entries in RSS feeds. Currently the only UI is a windows based outlook-style client, but other cross-platform UIs are possible as the core components are portable. See the screenshots for a view of an early alpha client.

"Under the covers Newswire contains a distributed state sharing engine which uses epidemic communication to synchronize with other (local) participations. It maintains information about subscriptions and up-to-date network load information from local participants and aggregates of this information from other nearby zones and some remote zones. The messages are forwarded over a soap based overlay network where the paths are dynamically maintained using the collected network statistics  to ensure a reasonable balancing of the forwarding load. The system makes extensive use of public key technology to ensure that only messages are handled from authorized publishers and that the each participant can verify the origin of a message.

Most of this is over my head, but I understand the basic concept.  Wow!! I'm going to keep my eye on this one. [link via Hack the Planet]

According to Syndic8, Consumers Union, the publisher of Consumer Reports, now has an RSS Feed for its consumer updates. Great news.

Dorothea has some words about librarians and publishers.

"Librarians trust publishers. They just do. They don’t trust technology (no more they should, either), they don’t trust their patrons, and they don’t trust the society they work in (no more they should, either). But boy howdy, do they trust publishers and the official publishing process. Ask what “authority” means (and it’s a word that comes up a lot) and more often than not you’ll hear about the Sacred Publishing Process and how marvelous it is."

I'm having a hard time disagreeing with Dorothea. We are still taught in library school that we should be wary of online resources, but not print resources (especially new ones) On a similar note, I do think that our relationship to publishers has changed for the better. We no longer want to spend exorbitant amounts of money on periodicals and are fed up with the way that we (to be read: our patrons) are treated by these companies. In fact, the online world has made it easier for us to deal with publishers, in a way. We are finally gaining the upper hand.
