                          <description>&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.docuverse.com/blog/donpark/EntryViewPage.aspx?guid=4fda0829-1d3a-4c9b-9f0f-c4a6caa9a8fd">Folly of Charging for Viral Features&lt;/A&gt;. 
  &lt;P&gt;Dave Winer &lt;A href=&quot;http://archive.scripting.com/2004/05/21#When:5:43:43PM">wrote</A>: &lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style=&quot;MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px&quot;&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;It&apos;s lame to charge for weblog software based on how many weblogs you make and how many authors there are. A weblog isn&apos;t that big a deal. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
  &lt;P dir=ltr&gt;To me, it&apos;s not whether a weblog is a big deal or not.&amp;nbsp; Importance of a feature is subjective and, in the end, nothing is a big deal.&amp;nbsp; Besides, making a big deal out of nothing is what marketing is all about.&amp;nbsp; &lt;EM&gt;Remember Seinfeld?&lt;/EM&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P dir=ltr&gt;This &lt;A href=&quot;http://joi.ito.com/archives/2004/05/21/anil_takes_responsibility_for_mt_3_mess_and_moves_to_sf.html#comments">comment</A> over at Joi Ito&apos;s blog regarding the impact of Six Apart&apos;s new license hit me hard: &lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style=&quot;MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px&quot;&gt;
  &lt;P dir=ltr&gt;6A essentially fired its old Sales and Marketing staff... &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
  &lt;P dir=ltr&gt;The key lesson here is that you shouldn&apos;t be messing with the viral aspect of your product. &lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG height=0 src=&quot;http://www.docuverse.com/blog/donpark/aggbug.ashx?id=4fda0829-1d3a-4c9b-9f0f-c4a6caa9a8fd" width=0&gt; [&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.docuverse.com/blog/donpark/">Don Park&apos;s Daily Habit&lt;/A&gt;]&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Amen brother&lt;/STRONG&gt; - but how do you find the seam between free and paid?&amp;nbsp; Here&apos;s our formula:&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style=&quot;MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px&quot;&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;- first make sure everyone understands up front - what the deal is&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;- what is free&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;- what will remain free and what might change&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;- what you WILL be charging for - eventually and when&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;- what OTHER ways would you like to make money - which of course, we&apos;re hoping all of YOU will go along with&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;When it came to contributing to Howard Dean or MoveOn - folks belly up to the bar.&amp;nbsp; I really think folk will support great software (like MT) - but you gotta be upfront and honest with them about it.&amp;nbsp; I wouldn&apos;t call 6A the most communicative company - but they were busy.&amp;nbsp; That&apos;s not an excuse for them fucking up, just a way of saying &quot;they can still do the right thing moving forward.&quot;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;We all can.&amp;nbsp; And must.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;So you&apos;ll always know upfront from Broadband Mechanics what&apos;s free, what might change and how we expect to stay alive.&amp;nbsp; I think all people are saying - when they complain about MT 3.0 is - &lt;EM&gt;&quot;it would have been nice to know ahead of time.&quot;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

                          <title>What about XFN you say?</title>
                          <link>http://www.wasab.dk/morten/blog/archives/2004/05/21/foaf-output-from-wordpress>
                          <description>&lt;P&gt;Spent about :45 on the phone with Matt Mullenweg today.&amp;nbsp; Didn;&apos;t realize he was instrumental in XFN as well as WordPress.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; So then in my InBox I found this from Morten Fredericksen.&amp;nbsp; You gotta just love Morten.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;He&apos;s teh guy who first educated me about FOAF BTW.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;H3 class=storytitle id=post-7&gt;&lt;A title=&quot;Permanent Link: FOAF output from WordPress&quot; href=&quot;http://www.wasab.dk/morten/blog/archives/2004/05/21/foaf-output-from-wordpress" rel=bookmark&gt;FOAF output from WordPress&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/H3&gt;

  &lt;LI&gt;&lt;A title=&quot;View all posts in WordPress&quot; href=&quot;http://www.wasab.dk/morten/blog/archives/category/blogging/wordpress/">WordPress</A></LI></UL>&#151; &lt;A title=&quot;Posts by mortenf&quot; href=&quot;http://www.wasab.dk/morten/blog/archives/author/mortenf/">mortenf</A> @ 23:35:49 &lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV class=storycontent&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;A few days ago, &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.livejournal.com/users/crschmidt/">Christopher Schmidt&lt;/A&gt; mentioned &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.livejournal.com/users/crschmidt/252710.html?thread=1153318#t1153318">in a comment&lt;/A&gt; that he had been hacking on FOAF export for WordPress. He kindly let me take a look at his work, and in addition posted a &lt;A href=&quot;http://rdfweb.org/pipermail/rdfweb-dev/2004-May/013286.html">message to rdfweb-dev&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;In short, he had created a set of dynamic stand-alone profile pages, one with HTML output and one with RDF/XML output using FOAF, in a single file, &lt;CODE&gt;/profile2.php&lt;/CODE&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;Seeing that, it dawned on me: WordPress already has a &amp;#147;profile&amp;#148; page for each of the authors, likely at &lt;CODE&gt;/archives/author/&amp;lt;login&amp;gt;/&lt;/CODE&gt; (depending on the permalink structure defined) &amp;#151; and it even has a template name: &lt;CODE&gt;the_author_posts_link&lt;/CODE&gt;. In its default incarnation it&amp;#146;s simply a list of the posts by that author, but turning it into a profile page by also showing the basic information and linked friends didn&amp;#146;t seem too hard.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;So, first order of business is making the profile page &amp;#147;visible&amp;#148; by linking to it from the author name displayed with each post, by hacking in &lt;CODE&gt;/index.php&lt;/CODE&gt;:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;PRE class=code&gt;&amp;lt;?php _e(&quot;Filed under:&quot;); ?&amp;gt; &amp;lt;?php the_category() ?&amp;gt; &amp;amp;#8212;
    &amp;lt;?php the_author&lt;INS&gt;_posts_link&lt;/INS&gt;(); ?&amp;gt;
    @ &amp;lt;?php the_time() ?&amp;gt;
    &amp;lt;?php edit_post_link(); ?&amp;gt;&lt;/PRE&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;Next up is actually displaying the profile information when desired &amp;#151; when an author is specified as the search criteria (in &lt;CODE&gt;/index.php&lt;/CODE&gt;:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;PRE class=code&gt;&amp;lt;div id=&quot;content&quot;&amp;gt;
  &lt;INS&gt;&amp;lt;?php if (&apos;&amp;#146; !=  $author): ?&gt;
    &lt;h2&gt;Author profile for &lt;?php the_author(); ?&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
    &lt;div class="profile"&gt;
      &lt;?php the_profile(); ?&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;?php endif; ?&gt;</INS>
  &lt;?php if ($ posts) : foreach ( $posts as$ post) : start_wp(); ?&amp;gt; &lt;/PRE&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;This is not enough however, since the template &lt;CODE&gt;the_profile&lt;/CODE&gt; isn&amp;#146;t defined yet. This is done in &lt;CODE&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.wasab.dk/morten/2004/05/wp-profile.txt">wp-profile.php.txt</A></CODE> (rename to &lt;CODE&gt;wp-profile.php&lt;/CODE&gt; and place in root directory), which is an extended version of Christopher Schmidt&amp;#146;s original.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;This new version now also includes relationships based on the &lt;A href=&quot;http://gmpg.org/xfn/1">XFN</A> link &lt;CODE&gt;rel&lt;/CODE&gt; definitions, most of which are also translated into terms from the &lt;A href=&quot;http://vocab.org/relationship/">relationship vocabulary&lt;/A&gt;. This last task provided for a few challenges.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;First, as has been pointed out by &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.ldodds.com/blog/">Leigh Dodds&lt;/A&gt; in his post simply titled &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.ldodds.com/blog/archives/000105.html">XFN</A>, the information expressed with XFN is incomplete as compared to FOAF and a few assumptions are needed, so if you intend to use this code, make sure you fill out the link fields in the link manager as follows, otherwise the FOAF output will be wrong:&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;UL&gt;
  &lt;LI&gt;URI: Link to weblog of the person. 
  &lt;LI&gt;Link Name: Name of the weblog. 
  &lt;LI&gt;Short description: Name of the person. &lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;Second, the relationship vocabulary doesn&amp;#146;t have equivalent terms for the XFN relationships &lt;CODE&gt;muse&lt;/CODE&gt;, &lt;CODE&gt;crush&lt;/CODE&gt;, &lt;CODE&gt;date&lt;/CODE&gt;, and &lt;CODE&gt;sweetheart&lt;/CODE&gt;, so these are simply ignored in the translation process. Also, the relationship terms &lt;CODE&gt;childOf&lt;/CODE&gt; and &lt;CODE&gt;parentOf&lt;/CODE&gt; seems to be incorrectly or at least vaguely specified.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;Next up is making sure that the actual FOAF output in RDF/XML is sent when requested. For this to work, a few extra lines at the top of &lt;CODE&gt;/index.php&lt;/CODE&gt; are needed:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;PRE class=code&gt;&amp;lt;?php
  /* Don&apos;t remove this line. */
  require(&apos;./wp-blog-header.php&apos;);
  &lt;INS&gt;if (&apos;&amp;#146; !=  $author) {$ authordata = get_userdata( $author);
    require(&#146;./wp-profile.php&#146;);
  }</INS>
  ?&gt;</PRE>
  <P>The final step is adding a link element, for <A href=" http://rdfweb.org/topic/Autodiscovery">FOAF autodiscovery</A>, to the head of the HTML profile page, also in <CODE>/index.php</CODE>:</P><PRE class=code>&lt;link rel=" alternate " type="application/rdf+xml" title="RSS 1.0" href="&lt;?php bloginfo('rdf_url'); ?&gt;" /&gt;
  <INS>  &lt;?php if ('&#146; !=$ author): ?&amp;gt;
      &amp;lt;link rel=&quot;meta&amp;#148; type=&quot;application/rdf+xml&amp;#148; title=&quot;FOAF&amp;#148; href=&quot;&amp;lt;?php print get_author_link(0,  $authordata-&gt;ID,$ authordata-&amp;gt;user_nicename); ?&amp;gt;?format=rdf&amp;#148; /&amp;gt;
  &amp;lt;?php endif; ?&amp;gt;&lt;/INS&gt;&lt;/PRE&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;Phew, that should do it, see for yourself on &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.wasab.dk/morten/blog/?author_name=mortenf">my profile page&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;Next on the agenda might be integrating with a triple store&amp;#133;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;</description>

  &lt;P&gt;I&apos;ll be busy the next few days squiring the baby around to some grandfolk in Northern California. Though we haven&apos;t yet gotten around to calling him &lt;A href=&quot;http://bgbg.blogspot.com/2003/11/tick-tock.html">Gnudist</A>, the poor little guy&apos;s name definitely is a moving target:&lt;/P&gt;

  &lt;P&gt;Goodness knows by the time I get back next week we&apos;ll probably have figured out where to go from a &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;lr=&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;prev=/search%3Fq%3Drad%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26sa%3DG&amp;q=stocks:RAD+">large drugstore chain&lt;/A&gt;. &apos;Til then I&apos;m offline.&lt;/P&gt;

  <P>Dam now see - if there isn&apos;t a better example of the difference between product folks and research folks - their list of deployments is a list of .ppts (PowerPoint slides.)&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;Call me crazy - but to me&amp;nbsp;- a list of deployements would be (heaven forbid) a list of sites of deployed code - working - for humans to play and learn from.&lt;/P&gt;

  &lt;P&gt;That&apos;s the headline that comes to mind when I read Bill Gates&apos; &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.microsoft.com/billgates/speeches/2004/05-20CEOSummit.asp">most famous recent speech&lt;/A&gt;. It&apos;s like, &lt;I&gt;blah blah networking blah blah storage blah blah tablets, blah blah RFID, blah blah templates, blah blah RSS, blah blah spam, blah blah MSDN...&lt;/I&gt; Huh? &lt;I&gt;wtf?&lt;/I&gt; Rewind....&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;That RSS item launches the longest section of the speech: seven paragraphs that read to me like they were ghosted by &lt;A href=&quot;http://ross.typepad.com/">Ross Mayfield&lt;/A&gt;. I just went to Ross&apos;s blog and he &lt;A href=&quot;http://ross.typepad.com/blog/2004/05/bill_gates_on_b.html">quotes</A> five of those same &apos;graphs. &lt;I&gt;Coincidence?&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

                          <description>&lt;P&gt;OK I admit it. I haven&apos;t spent hours in front of my machine watching Channel9. I hope Scoble doesn&apos;t hate me.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;But I did get to meet Ward Cunningham when I was up there for the Lili-fest.&amp;nbsp; He&apos;s coolio.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;So it&apos;s great to see him getting interviewed - as if he was really a Microsofty.&lt;/P&gt;

  &lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;Do you have any kind of relationship, or do you plan one, with micro-content reader and router toolmakers?&lt;/B&gt; 
  &lt;P&gt;We are very interested in it. We&apos;re talking to folks, mostly on a casual basis now. We don&apos;t have any big plans along those lines, but it will certainly be an increasingly crucial piece of the publishing tools in this ecosystem that we&apos;re in. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;</description>

  &lt;P&gt;From Mary Jo Foley&apos;s &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.microsoft-watch.com/article2/0,1995,1596168,00.asp">Microsoft Watch&lt;/A&gt;:&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style=&quot;MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px&quot;&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;Gates also extolled the productivity benefits that can be derived from user-empowering technologies such as blogging, RSS, collaboration software and online communities that are integrated into Web sites. 
  &lt;P&gt;Gates called blogging and the RSS Web content syndication service a &quot;very interesting phenomenon.&quot; He suggested that by using RSS as notification system, customers can &quot;get the information you want when you want it.&quot;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;

For example, a graphical image displays the connections between members, including their friends, friends-of-friends, and so on. Any member can search the graph and find people in their network who like to play golf, travel to Cuba, or work at Google. &lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;

                          <title>DLA topics store - in the future we&apos;ll all have our own Topics</title>
                          <link>http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/001883.html>
                          <description>&lt;P&gt;I&apos;m also aggregating both TE and KC topics.&amp;nbsp; But only in my DLA topics store.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/001883.html">Topics: Automatic for the People&lt;/A&gt;. &lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://matt.blogs.it/2004/05/20.html#a1472">Matt Mower&apos;s written a great explanation&lt;/A&gt; of how the K-Collector aggregation process works. KC is a very clever system and I&apos;m pleased to hear it doesn&apos;t actually require the KC client app on Radio or MT in order for people to participate in the KC community.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;What I will do is continue with my own experiments with Movable Type. I already have the TE cloud reference in my RSS template, so I&apos;ll add the KC cloud reference too. Then as I write posts I&apos;ll add topics using my chosen MT field (at this stage &apos;Keyword&apos;, but I&apos;ll probably change to &apos;Category&apos;). &lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;Note that I could download the MT client Matt&apos;s created, but I&apos;d actually rather play around myself with MT and see how both KC and TE pick up my posts.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;Likewise, I&apos;ve asked &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.myelin.co.nz/post/">Phil Pearson&lt;/A&gt; if Topic Exchange can pick up my ENT data from my RSS feed automatically. If I can get both KC and TE aggregating my ENT data, without me having to ping either one, I&apos;ll be a happy man :-)&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;Also I should perhaps clarify my goals with all this. In the short-term I want to:&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;1) Set-up MT so that I can add topic data to &lt;STRONG&gt;both&lt;/STRONG&gt; KC and TE.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;2) Set-up my own internal topic navigation, which ideally I&apos;d like to synch with KC and TE (in terms of topic names).&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;For now I&apos;ll leave the hard part aside - i.e. synching topic data between KC and TE. Matt&apos;s done a lot of work on this in the past, using XFML and XTM and so forth, and so he can tell you it&apos;s not a trivial task. So let&apos;s call that a long-term goal.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;I guess my remaining goal for the short-term is to try and convince Phil to get TE to automatically aggregate my ENT data from my RSS feed. But being a humble user, I&apos;ve no idea how difficult a request this is - i.e. it&apos;s easy for me to ask the question, it may be a lot harder for Phil to do the work ;-) So I don&apos;t want to press the issue...&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;Also, I want to investigate &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.blogdigger.com/">Blogdigger</A> some more to see how I can tie in my topic navigation experiments with Bloggdigger&apos;s categorisation system. &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.blogdigger.com/blog/index.html">Greg</A> - any ideas for that?&lt;/P&gt;[&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.readwriteweb.com/">Read/Write Web&lt;/A&gt;]</description>

                          <description>&lt;P&gt;Back in 1976 - I lived in a dorm room at school - and I loved my ghetto box.&amp;nbsp; This is next...&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://digitalmusic.weblogsinc.com/entry/0490731206441596/">Rhapsody and Linksys Create Wireless Hub&lt;/A&gt;. &lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;This is really something. &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.real.com">RealNetworks</A> has partnered with wireless networker &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=33&amp;scid=38&amp;prid=631">Linksys</A> to create a Rhapsody-enabled wireless link. This device connects your stereo to the PC over the home&amp;#146;s 802.11b network, with built-in control of the &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.realrhapsody.com">Rhapsody service&lt;/A&gt; for subscribers. Awkwardly, it&amp;#146;s called the Linksys Wireless-B Media Link for Music. Geez, why not the Rhapsody Blaster, or the Celestial Wireless Jukebox?&lt;IMG height=312 alt=&quot;linksys rhapsody wireless device&quot; hspace=4 src=&quot;http://www.weblogsinc.com/common/images/7447778344487534.jpg?0.3212114705236127" width=300 align=right vspace=4 border=1&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Anyway, this device is excellent news for Rhapsody users wishing for a better way to get the music streaming more fluidly throughout the household. Of course, if you&amp;#146;ve got a wireless laptop you can access Rhapsody directly from any room. But getting the music into the stereo system has always been a problem, which the LWBMLM (for short&amp;#151;I&amp;#146;ve typed the hideous name for the last time) solves neatly. And if the stereo isn&amp;#146;t your goal, snap on the bundled speakers, place anywhere in the house, and rock on.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Now, transport a few years to the future. Bandwidth is unlimited; the distinction between downloading and streaming is meaningless; music is a service not a product; and we all pay for access to the global media river at the ISP level. Service-specific devices such as the LWBMLM become relics. Until then, bring it on, Rhapsody. And thank you, RealNetworks, for occasionally releasing a consumer-friendly product.&lt;/P&gt;[&lt;A href=&quot;http://digitalmusic.weblogsinc.com/">The Digital Music Weblog&lt;/A&gt;]</description>

                          <title>More Reid Hoffman convincings..... [otherwise known as a debate]</title>
                          <link>https://www.socialtext.net/red-herring-spring/index.cgi?action=weblog_display&amp;category=Blog%3A+LinkedIn</link>
                          <description>&lt;H3 class=storytitle&gt;Ok - we start off with Scott Allen&apos;s two cents....&lt;/H3&gt;
  &lt;H3 class=storytitle&gt;&lt;A title=&quot;Permanent Link: 100 CEO blogs, LinkedIn and FOAF&quot; href=&quot;http://www.onlinebusinessnetworks.com/blog/2004/05/19/100-ceo-blogs-linkedin-and-foaf" rel=bookmark&gt;&lt;FONT color=#0000ff&gt;100 CEO blogs, LinkedIn and FOAF&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt; &lt;SPAN class=meta&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT color=#808080 size=1&gt;by Scott Allen @ 10:43 am in &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A title=&quot;View all posts in Social Networking News&quot; href=&quot;http://www.onlinebusinessnetworks.com/blog/category/social-networking-news/"><FONT size=1&gt;Social Networking News&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT color=#808080 size=1&gt;, &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A title=&quot;View all posts in Blogging About Blogging&quot; href=&quot;http://www.onlinebusinessnetworks.com/blog/category/blogging-about-blogging/"><FONT size=1&gt;Blogging About Blogging&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt; &lt;/H3&gt;
  &lt;DIV class=storycontent id=storycontent&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;The CEOs of the &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=SVBIZINK3.story&amp;STORY=/www/story/05-11-2004/0002171545&amp;EDATE=TUE May 11 2004, 08:06 AM&quot;&gt;Red Herring 100&lt;/A&gt; have all been invited to blog as part of the the &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.socialtext.net/red-herring-spring"><FONT color=#0000ff&gt;Red Herring Spring Eventspace&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;. You can go directly to a list of the blogs in a &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.socialtext.net/red-herring-spring/index.cgi?action=weblog_display"><FONT color=#0000ff&gt;drop-down menu&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt; or &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.socialtext.net/red-herring-spring/index.cgi?100%20Blogs">list of hyperlinks&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;This is a great concept, and could be pretty intriguing. The blogs are open for participation to the public, so you can post and have public dialog with the CEOs of these companies.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;The real question, though, is what kind of participation it will get from the CEOs themselves. The site&amp;#146;s been up for about four days, and so far, there are a whole lot of questions and not many answers. In fact, the only CEO response I could find so far was LinkedIn CEO &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.socialtext.net/red-herring-spring/index.cgi?Reid%20Hoffman%2C%20May%2017%2C%203%3A49pm">Reid Hoffman&amp;#146;s response&lt;/A&gt; to &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.socialtext.net/red-herring-spring/index.cgi?Why%20not%20support%20FOAF%3F">Marc Canter&amp;#146;s challenge&lt;/A&gt; about LinkedIn supporting &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.foaf-project.org/">FOAF</A>:<BR>
  <BLOCKQUOTE>I guess here&amp;#146;s the short-hand: we&amp;#146;ll add FOAF when it seems to be the next most important feature to add in our list. And, not seeing an immediate application for it (we have two years of features to build, all of which have immediate application), I&amp;#146;m not certain it&amp;#146;s any time in the near future.&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;Good answer. Stay focused on what your users are asking for. I know LinkedIn has a long list of those things &amp;#151; I&amp;#146;ve sent in quite a few myself. 
  &lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;Canter &lt;A href=&quot;http://blogs.it/0100198/2004/05/18.html#a2772"><FONT color=#0000ff&gt;counters&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt; in his own inimitable style on his blog:&lt;BR&gt;
  &lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;So dude - you know I love yah - right? But your answer is [bleep]. It takes no time to implement FOAF and it provides a basic, compelling solution that all humans (read: end-users and/or customers) need. 
  &lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;Why don&amp;#146;t you just say why you really don&amp;#146;t wanna support FOAF? Come on - be a man about it. &lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;By locking all your customers into LinkedIn - they&amp;#146;re YOUR customers - &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;I&gt;mwah hah hah hah hah!&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;I can really see both sides on this one. Would it be more convenient for me for LinkedIn to support FOAF? Absolutely. I&amp;#146;d love to not have to port my profile from one network to the next, and, at least in theory, ditto for my relationships. 
  &lt;P&gt;Here&amp;#146;s the problem, though, Marc &amp;#151; my relationships on LinkedIn are NOT the same as my relationships on Ryze are NOT the same as my relationships on Ecademy are NOT the same as my relationships on Tribe, etc.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;On Ecademy, being &amp;#147;connected&amp;#148; just means that we&amp;#146;ve exchanged private messages. On LinkedIn, it means that there&amp;#146;s been a confirmation of a trusted relationship. Someone who I would count as a friend on Ryze, I wouldn&amp;#146;t necessarily list as a connection on LinkedIn. Who I&amp;#146;m willing to make an electronic record of my relationship with DOES depend on the context in which that relationship is going to be used.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;Furthermore, as big a supporter of openness as I am, I recognize that not everyone wants to make all their relationships public. Having an open FOAF file is fraught with the potential for abuse. For someone with absolutely no boundaries between personal and professional spheres of your life, that may work. It won&amp;#146;t play in Poughkeepsie. I support the basic concept of interoperability, but it&amp;#146;s going to take a standard with more granular security control than FOAF to garner widespread adoption. [&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.onlinebusinessnetworks.com/blog/2004/05/19/100-ceo-blogs-linkedin-and-foaf">online business networks blog&lt;/A&gt;]&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;https://www.socialtext.net/red-herring-spring/index.cgi&quot;&gt;&lt;IMG style=&quot;MARGIN: 0.5em 1em 0.5em 0em&quot; alt=&quot;[Red Herring Spring]&quot; src=&quot;http://www.redherring.com/images/Promotions/RH100topPrvCmp_d.gif" align=right border=0&gt;&lt;/A&gt;Then we got some more followup from Reid......&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;DIV id=weblog-posttitle&gt;Reid Hoffman, May 20, 12:35pm &lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV id=weblog-post&gt;Scott Allen actually took the words out of my mouth on FOAF: &lt;BR&gt;&lt;A title=&quot;(external link)&quot; href=&quot;http://www.onlinebusinessnetworks.com/blog/2004/05/19/100-ceo-blogs-linkedin-and-foaf" target=_blank&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.onlinebusinessnetworks.com/blog/2004/05/19/100-ceo-blogs-linkedin-and-foaf">http://www.onlinebusinessnetworks.com/blog/2004/05/19/100-ceo-blogs-linkedin-and-foaf</a></A> &lt;BR&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;And, while, yes, while I certainly wouldn&apos;t just give away customer relationships (being a man about this), I believe that customers are kept most happy by giving them functionality. &lt;BR&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;And, frankly, I remain unconvinced of any FOAF application that I&apos;ve seen thus far. (Including, my regrets, the one posted here.) If there was a web-app that I could offer my customers, that having FOAF would enable me, then I would do it -- if it was good enough to be a high priority. &lt;BR&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;And no feature is free Marc -- it all takes work. (Release, QA, plan with security, analyze corner cases, etc.) Hopefully you&apos;ll blog about Scott&apos;s post above... best thing that I&apos;ve seen on FOAF in a blog yet. [&lt;A href=&quot;https://www.socialtext.net/red-herring-spring/index.cgi?action=weblog_display&amp;amp;category=Blog%3A+LinkedIn&quot;&gt;Reid Hoffman on SocialText Wiki&lt;/A&gt;]&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;OK Reid - let&apos;s start off with....&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Compelling usage for FOAF - that&apos;s relevant to Reid.&amp;nbsp; So EDS has this great deal with Plaxo (or Spoke - it doesn&apos;t really matter) &amp;nbsp;and some EDS employees are on LinkedIn as well.&amp;nbsp; However since the Spoke users are in a groove and getting allot of value out of Spoke, they don&apos;t see a need for LinkedIn.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;One day they wake up and wow! LinkedIn supports FOAF now.&amp;nbsp; &quot;You mean I can move my net over to LinekdIn - without having to enter them one at a time?&quot;&amp;nbsp; Oh gee, maybe LinekdIn benefits from that.&amp;nbsp; And the EDS folks do too!&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Now to bean&amp;nbsp;counting....&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;You raised how many millions from your buddy Mr. Moritz?&amp;nbsp; Adding FOAF, QAing it and printing 1,000,000 CDs would cost less than the lawyer fees for your VC funding round.&amp;nbsp; So PLEASE don;t tell me how expensive it is&amp;nbsp; - how busy you are - and FOAF is not important to you.&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;Give me a break!&amp;nbsp; What more important than giving your customers what they want?&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;Scott is a customer.&amp;nbsp; He uses your network and &lt;STRONG&gt;HE sees the need for interchange - why can&apos;t you?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp; I see you all over the place&amp;nbsp;- on Orkut, on Tribe, on Ryze -yet you&apos;re sitting there - clicking away adding friends just like the rest ofus.&amp;nbsp; Aren&apos;t you gettign tired of that yet?&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;Scott very eloquently points out the difference between each social network.&amp;nbsp; He points out that trying to match how each social net treats friendships, relationships, etc - is different.&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;Scott elucidates&amp;nbsp;the value added differentiation between Ryze and LinkedIn - and you know what?&amp;nbsp; That&apos;s why they&apos;re different, that&apos;s why different people go to each service.&amp;nbsp; Vive le Difrance!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;Social Networks ARE NOT going to line up convieniently and work together or interchange without some level of conversion, adjustment, mapping, reconciliation and transcoding.&amp;nbsp; You don&apos;t have to listen to Clay Shirky or danah boyd to figure out that for every context, they&apos;ll be a different way of using explicit relationships, hard coded computer systems and soft edged human intervention.&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;Each system is different.&amp;nbsp; You know what can connect them together.&amp;nbsp;FOAF!&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;But instead of using difference and non synchronization of concepts (of friendship, of trust, of interests, etc.) as an excuse why you DON&quot;T WANNA CONNECT to anyone else - how &apos;bout we work together and make this interchange notion work?&amp;nbsp; It&apos;s actually quite an interesting challenge.&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;And this matter of privacy is another just another lame ass excuse (excuse my French as my real friend Loic would say.)&amp;nbsp; It doesn&apos;t matter where you&apos;re at - whether you&apos;re in Ryze, LinkedIn or Tribe - everyone wants to protect their meta and profile data. .&amp;nbsp; FOAF gives everyone the power to control their profiles - not open them up to the world.&amp;nbsp; NO -FOAF doens&apos;t have privacy built-in.&amp;nbsp; Would you use it? I don&apos;t think so.&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;FOAF is a just an object wrapper technology - which can hold any kind of unqiue ID, meta data or profile info. Its up to us to do something coolio with that potential.&amp;nbsp; So please don&apos;t start claiming FOAF means giving everything away.&amp;nbsp; It doesn&apos;t.&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;The PEOPLE want the feature Reid. Give it to them or end up like Friendster.&amp;nbsp; What happens when Plaxo and Spoke support FOAF and you don&apos;t?&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;I don&apos;t have millions of dollars in my bank account (anymore.)&amp;nbsp;We don&apos;t have VC money either.&amp;nbsp; What we have is what humans want.&amp;nbsp; That&apos;s what our business model is.&amp;nbsp; To me that means profits.&amp;nbsp; Giving people what they want.&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;Digital ID doesn&apos;t work on it&apos;s own.&amp;nbsp; There&apos;s no clear application for digital ID by itself.&amp;nbsp; That&apos;s all FOAF is.&amp;nbsp; But to use FOAF to interchange entire social nets.&amp;nbsp; NOW THAT ROCKS!&amp;nbsp; Just ask around.&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
  &lt;DIV&gt;Have you ever met Doc Searls before? How &apos;bout David Weinberger?&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;</description>

                          <title>FOAF for WordPress</title>
                          <link>http://wordpress.org>
                          <description>&lt;P&gt;This is from Chris Schmidt....&lt;/P&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;Word press has been getting a lot of word in the press about being &quot;the&quot; replacement package for MT. However, by default, there&apos;s no FOAF input or output, and that&apos;s never a good thing.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;So, I present to those of you who may be switching, a presentable version of FOAF for WordPress. Basic, as it only spits out the values that you can set in wp-admin: admittedly minimal. However, it is something. Anyway, I figured some of you might be switching over - mortenf, specifically, asked for some help on the topic.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;So, &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://crschmidt.net/wphack/profile2.txt"><U><FONT color=#0000ff size=2&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://crschmidt.net/wphack/profile2.txt">http://crschmidt.net/wphack/profile2.txt</a></U></FONT></A><FONT size=2&gt; is how to set up a profile page - and FOAF - in your WordPress blog.&amp;nbsp; I&apos;ll be working with the wordpress developers to clean this up and get it into the Core version of wordpress, but not until after the 1.2 release, as they&apos;ve got enough on their hands as is.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;-- &lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;Christopher Schmidt&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;</description>

  &lt;P&gt;OK we can start to slowly talk about what we&apos;ve been waiting to annouce for a while now.
  &lt;P&gt;All us commercial FOAF folks banded together and said: &quot;you know, we love the idea of rdf, we love the idea of FOAF - but this whole thing is too dam open ended.&amp;nbsp; We can&apos;t make products out of a spec that&apos;s so open ended.&quot;
  &lt;P&gt;So we closed the gap.&amp;nbsp; We defined a real simple subset of FOAF and we&apos;re wrapping that around some user interface guuideline to guarentee the same results for FOAF import/export - no matter where you go.
  &lt;P&gt;This is unofficial (of course) but BlogWare, PeopleAggregator, Tribe, Ecademy, Mydentity, CivicSpace, Always On, Affnity Engines (InCircle), SocialText, Drupal, Technorati.
  &lt;P&gt;Those still considering (or waiting for the official word) include WordPress, SixApart, Plink, Scionet, LiveJournal&amp;nbsp;and Spoke.&amp;nbsp; Everyone is welcome.
  &lt;P&gt;We&apos;ll officially announce it once Paul Martino gets back from getting married.&amp;nbsp; Congrats to Paul BTW!
  &lt;P&gt;Working demos at announcement.
  &lt;P&gt;Usage sceario = I click to register, I&apos;m asked &quot;do you have FOAF&quot;, I point them at my FOAF.
  &lt;P&gt;&lt;U&gt;Three lists of names come up:&lt;/U&gt;
  &lt;BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style=&quot;MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px&quot;&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;- these foks are already in this system
  &lt;P&gt;- these folks who are not in the system and we have their emails (so we can auto-register them)
  &lt;P&gt;- these folks who are not in the system but we don&apos;t have their emails&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;Perhaps some checkboxes to allow you to delete folks from the import at the last minute (that&apos;s optional) - and that&apos;s it!
  &lt;P&gt;For Export - all we&apos;ll ask for is an opt-in checkbox (default off) which says &quot;export via FOAF?&quot; (or something like that.)
  &lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;That&apos;s what the FOAFnet is.&amp;nbsp; That&apos;s it - real simple.&amp;nbsp; Just:&lt;/STRONG&gt;
  &lt;BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style=&quot;MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px&quot;&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;- name
  &lt;P&gt;- email
  &lt;P&gt;- picture (of your face presumably)
  &lt;P&gt;- list of friends - and their FOAFs&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;The post above is from the soon to be married Paul - announcing the example Java code&amp;nbsp;- for the FOAFnet middleware.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Yes folks FOAFnet wil have it&apos;s own open APIs as well as open data structure.&amp;nbsp; 
  &lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Look Matt&lt;/STRONG&gt; - two indents (sorry I still hate &amp;lt;blockquotes&amp;gt;).
  &lt;P&gt;BTW If you click on Paul&apos;s link - you&apos;ll find it password protected.&amp;nbsp; If you&apos;re intersted in joining FOAFnet - drop me a line.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

                          <link>http://photomatt.net/archives/2004/05/19/marcs-voice/>
                          <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://photomatt.net/archives/2004/05/19/marcs-voice/">Marc&#146;s Voice&lt;/A&gt;. I wish I understood everything Marc writes because then I&apos;d be a millionaire. But please, someone get that man a &amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;! [&lt;A href=&quot;http://photomatt.net">Photo Matt&lt;/A&gt;]&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Dude - blockquotes are so HTML.&amp;nbsp; Have I told you how much I hate HTML?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;How we were set backwards in 1994 - afer all those years of moving forward towards beinging media into people&apos;s lives? Napster kind of made upf or that - but in general - the HTML web is a straw sipping dial-up waiting, lo-res experience.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;I&apos;m sorry - I just can&apos;t draw myself into accepting that - I&apos;m too dam old.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;Anyway - I owe you a phone call - but I through I&apos;d spell out in public what we&apos;ll talk about in private (after I get back from seeing my middle son star in &quot;Oklahoma&quot;.)&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;1.&amp;nbsp; Folks have been asking for FOAF in WordPress.&amp;nbsp; You joined our FOAFnet Wiki - so you must be interested.&amp;nbsp; BTW I&apos;m totally jazzed that you&apos;re supporting ESF and ENT!&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;2. I also have been dealing with other blogging tools who have been trying to figure out &quot;how much&quot; FOAF to support.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;3.&amp;nbsp; Some blogging tools are adding friends capabiltiies, others adding groups, still others have blog tools coupled to content sites and game databases.&amp;nbsp; So it&apos;s happening. Just as I predicted.&amp;nbsp; For every kind of everything - they&apos;ll be&amp;nbsp;a social network/digital identity play associated with it.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;4.&amp;nbsp; So you get to decide how far you want WordPress to go.&amp;nbsp; You can just make your FOAF the &lt;STRONG&gt;&apos;About Me&apos;&lt;/STRONG&gt; page. That&apos;s cool.&amp;nbsp; Info on the blogger, easily discoverable. No more confusion over who&apos;s the blogger (unless of course the blogger doesn&apos;t want anybody to KNOW who he/she is.)&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;5.&amp;nbsp; Or you can go further.&amp;nbsp; Build basic friends or groups - or go whole hog - build the entire &lt;A href=&quot;http://peopleaggregator.com">PeopleAggregator</A> within WordPress.&amp;nbsp; Commons page.&amp;nbsp; Public and Private pages.&amp;nbsp; Group, multiple relationships, multiple personalities.&amp;nbsp; All for the taking.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

There doesn&apos;t seem to be one weblog that&apos;s gathering all the coverage. &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.docuverse.com/blog/donpark/EntryViewPage.aspx?guid=399c1a23-ecd2-46f5-8cf8-2f4ac40cacb0">Don Park&lt;/A&gt; has a picture of &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.docuverse.com/blog/donpark/content/binary/technorati4.jpg">JY Stervinou&lt;/A&gt; from France who was in SF at the meeting, with Loic, who is Joi&apos;s guy in Europe. A lot of geography in that sentence. Christian Crumlish took &lt;A href=&quot;http://radiofreeblogistan.com/2004/05/20/technorati_developers_brainstorm.html">notes</A>. Wish I could have been there. I&apos;m in NYC meeting with people in the publishing industry tomorrow. Busy busy. Bing bing? [&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.scripting.com/">Scripting News&lt;/A&gt;]&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG height=352 alt=&quot;&quot; hspace=8 src=&quot;http://www.newmediamusings.com/photos/technorati/technorati01.jpg" width=500 align=left&gt;So Steve says to me: &quot;folks think FOAF is about rdf - they don;t want rdf.&quot;&amp;nbsp; I say &quot;but dude, we&apos;re making sure that FOAFnet is a simple subset, limnited vocab - so it&apos;ll LOOK like XML.&amp;nbsp; Real simple.&quot; &quot;Good&quot; says Steve, &quot;cause Jon Udelll says just use what&apos;s there.&quot;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;Which is exactly what we&apos;re doing with FOAF&amp;nbsp; using what&apos;s there - an open standard for digital identity wrapper.&amp;nbsp; Put whatever you want inside of it - but just keep the wrapper the same.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;Steve is one of those rare commodities&amp;nbsp;- a press guy who knows what he&apos;s talking about.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;Here&apos;s me and Steve - last night.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;Wish Dave Winer could have been there.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;It was great to meet JY and see Loic again.&amp;nbsp; He kept saying &lt;EM&gt;&quot;it&apos;s just a communication problem.&quot;&lt;/EM&gt;&amp;nbsp; But I wouldn&apos;t call Loic Joi&apos;s guy - I kind of think fo Loic as - &lt;STRONG&gt;our guy in Europe&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Along with Paolo.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

  &lt;P&gt;Maybe Mr. Bricklin should have put some mroe time into writing code. Charging money for 400 line so fperl - is called chutzpah.&amp;nbsp; I&apos;m sorry - I don&apos;t care how famous he is - he&apos;s got balls to want money for something you can find in 20 other products as a feature.&lt;/P&gt;
  &lt;P&gt;But god bless him though. Remember it was his deal with Trelix and Blogger that saved Blogger and..... [the rest is&amp;nbsp;history.]&lt;/P&gt;</description>
