Got a note from Solace yesterday, celebrating her Wondirversary. She's been with us exactly one year now, which is a long-time in Wondir-time, as we haven't been really rolling in our current format much longer than that, and Solace is one of our rare few 5-star ranked members, thanks to posting over 5,400 answers to questions!
Congrats Solace! You're our One Year Wondir :)
Bondhunter just added a big wide question box and ticker to his blog. Scroll down to the bottom of his page to see it there in the footer. Very clean and cool.
Bondhunter, who I blogged about below, points here to a story on Google Earth plus, which just launched. How cool. I was a paying subscriber of Keyhole before they were bought out by Google, which turned them into Google Earth, which has evolved into not just an extraordinary mapping tool, but a satellite-virtual tour of the Earth that is absolutely staggering in its 3D detail. You can search-zoom seamlessly in on any spot on Earth and see car-sized objects, and frisbee-sized objects in some cities. I think they've blurred out the White House and a couple other sensitive targets, but it's otherwise wide open spy-quality technology for the masses :)
Ideally, I believe ReBlg.org works something like this: The blog-service, such as TypePad, is supposed to have the ReBlg button or link in the footer of each post, just like we have permalink, comment and trackback links below each post (the ReBlg link would be based on this html or something like it, I believe). Then the visitor would just click on the button or link, which opens up this interstitial page where you can then plug in the place/provider where you want to "blog this". The process could be made automatic, I think, if you tell ReBlg who your default provider is (I don't think the blog service needs to actively participate for this to work).
The end result would be that whenever you see a ReBlg link or button below a post you want to blog about, you just click on the button and your browser automatically opens up a blog post-in-progress for you, within your blog-service of choice, pre-populated with content and category-info perhaps gleaned from the article/post you want to blog about, making blogging other posts, in the end, a lot easier :)
Or... maybe there's a whole lot more (or less) to it.
You can read the whole scoop, which I'm sure I've conceptually embellished beyond hope above, here. And you can check out a juicy thread on Reblgging with Marc's commentary here.

Bondhunter, who is ranked #3 overall (out of over 125,000 members) at Wondir, and has answered over 20,000 questions, has started a blog to chum about Wondir and to help other Wondirers, especially newbies, get started. Really hope we see more Wondirers blogging, so cool to BondHunter taking the lead on this.
Why is it that I get often different results when running a keyword or URL search at Technorati, Feedster, IceRocket and other RSS engines, or even when using PubSub's prospective search (the forward-looking real-time-component notwithstanding, of course)? I often find myself going to each engine or tool to make sure I haven't missed anything. Do they search different sections of the blogosphere/syndisphere? Is there a meta-RSS engine that brings together the results of all the RSS engines into one? Right now, Technorati, Feedster and PubSub remain my home-bases, and of course do a lot more than RSS search, so would remain so either way.
From Doc, in turn quoting from someone somewhere:
Attention.XML is an open standard, built on open source (see XOXOSampleCode) that helps you keep track of what you've read, what you're spending time on, and what you should be paying attention to.
K, 32 words, but concise enough for say, and escalator pitch?
Thanks to Doc's suggestion, just a search on Cluetrain at Google Print and got this page from Dan Gillmor's We the Media.
Just saw this today via BubbleGeneration. Something called Ripple (can't find a URL) is all about p2p social financing, social credit, etc, very interesting. The title of the post is "P2P can cut banks out of the picture."

You seen Brightcove? Think they're in pre-launch, but compelling vision wrt providing a platform for the democratization of video-content-production, ushering in the era of Internet television where everyone's a potential producer w/ their own channel. Kind of the next inevitable phase of content democratization- first there was text (blogging), then audio (podcasting), now video.
