Steve Rubel points to eponym, another new blogging service, although Steve hypes this one as a SixApart competitor. It looks nice, and the blogs look a bit like MT blogs, which is interesting. There are what…100’s of these services out there now. It’s not a market I’d be looking to enter.

Technorati isn’t tracking Myspace, if they are they totally suck
Aaron writes at Technosailor that he believes that Technorati is now tracking MySpace. I really don’t think they are, because if they are they really suck it at. Consider the numbers. 61 million odd users. Technorati tracks less blogs than the total number of blogs in China. My understanding is that MySpace blogs can’t be tracked, they have an internet version of what corporate bankers would know as a Chinese Wall.

A couple of different takes:

Bugger….Mena Trott vs Scientology
Mena’s far, far braver than I am. And I’ll heap praise on this one…I hope SA’s lawyers are ready, but good on you Mena for having bit of fun…it’s just a bit…what did they say in Yes Minister…courageous…to do such a thing:
Mena: Hey, did you see the pictures of Tom Cruise at Yahoo?
Ben: Yeah, why was he there?
Mena: Oh, you didn’t hear? Yahoo bought him.
Mena: … He’s still in Theta, though. -
Cory Doctorow in Melbourne
Cameron Reilly (no relation) points to Cory Doctorow in Melbourne. I wish soooo much I could hop on a plane, if she who must be obeyed would only let me, particularly given it’s free!

Bubble, what bubble, I mean, $2b for a website….WTF?
Facebook is chasing $2b (USD) for their site, having knocked back $750 million. Now it’s in the top 100 at Alexa, which equals premium site, but $2b for an online property. It’s not even 1999 again….it’s a whole lot more at this. price.

When you are away, stuff happens
For those who aren’t aware, I’m laying decking and floorboards this week, and most likely into next week at this stage, so I’m pretty much going to be MIA. Just interesting though. I haven’t read my feeds in 2 days, and there is 45 new items in tech.memeorandum.com. The stuff I’m missing 🙂

2web podcast number 4
If you are interested in Web 2.0, podcasting, and start ups, check out the latest 2web podcast. I’m quite…well….strong in it. 🙂
Update: I’ve just listened to it and I’d think it’s our best podcast to date 🙂 If you’ve got an iPod or computer for that matter, have a listen!

Google rules the waves
Just reading at Threadwatch that Google has now got basically 75% of the UK search market. The figure here in Australia is close for memory. When all the so-called experts in America talk about Google they always talk about it from an American perspective, despite the fact that Google is a lot stronger (in terms of market share) outside of the states. It’s what? less than 50% in the states? well it would be one of the few markets it isn’t competing from a position of power in.

Is Robert Scoble being Snarky?
Robert…Robert my friend! WTF is going on. I read this post and it smells and looks like Snark. The same sort of snark you were only rallying against the other week. Now Robert, if I can scrape up enough money to go on the blog cruise in October I intend on buying you a drink…or 10 and we’ll discuss this in person, because as much as I disagree with you, some of my best friends in the world I disagree with, they’re are often the most interesting people to hang out with and talk to, because you get some of the most interesting and fun discussions, and despite my occasion fun with you, you are still someone I respect, but just happen to disagree with on occasion. And I’m really not that bad, I’m what we call in Australia, a sh*t stirrer. 🙂
Now on this fellow Australian. David Richards. Can’t say I’ve heard of him but Phil Sim suggests he was behind the Bottom of the Harbour Royal Commision. I half suspect he’s making this stuff up, but responding with Snark….well it’s sort of like Mena Trott yelling at people during her now famous talk on civility.
BEHAVE! 🙂
