# Read/WriteWeb Daily

![evolution](https://web.archive.org/web/20080704192900im_/http://static.flickr.com/36/81660418_99273cfb50_m.jpg)– [Esther Dyson talk](https://web.archive.org/web/20080704192900/http://www.paidcontent.org/pc/arch/2006_01_31.shtml#053422) (Yahoo is “intelligent design”; Google is “blind evolution.”)

– [ CES Storylines](https://web.archive.org/web/20080704192900/http://spaces.msn.com/dailyed/blog/cns!FC5C6AC68F15F1C0!981.entry?_c11_blogpart_blogpart=blogview&_c=blogpart) (nice quote: “By the time Vista hits the street… it will be less about the OS itself, and more about the vast array of services surrounding it.”)

– [ Consumer Internet, Digital Media and Technology Conferences for 2006](https://web.archive.org/web/20080704192900/http://blogging.vc/2006/01/consumer-internet-digital-media-and-technology-conferences-for-2006) (very useful list)

– [Dave Winer defines Reading Lists](https://web.archive.org/web/20080704192900/http://www.scripting.com/2006/02/04.html#When:5:25:38PM): “Mashups” of feeds, forming virtual publications (I’m really excited about what Dave comes up with for Reading Lists!)

– [Neil Budde from Yahoo News talks to paidcontent](https://web.archive.org/web/20080704192900/http://www.paidcontent.org/pc/arch/2006_02_02.shtml#053448) (“I think the area that’s growing and is most interesting, particularly in news, is behavioral.”)

– [ Shore: Neil Budde Looks at Content Blown to Bits by Users](https://web.archive.org/web/20080704192900/http://www.shore.com/commentary/weblogs/premium/events/2006_02_01_m_archive.html#113880241058194436) (“This will be an exciting year in news aggregation, and tools and deals being developed by Yahoo will be a key part of that excitement.”)

– [It’s all in the mix](https://web.archive.org/web/20080704192900/http://technology.guardian.co.uk/weekly/story/0,,1699502,00.html) (Guardian article about mashups… I liked this quote from Ben Metcalf: “rather than simply combining data feeds, the future of mashups is with people providing interfaces that enable you to display data in ways you wouldn’t normally see it.”)

– [TechCrunch: The Memeorandum Hunters](https://web.archive.org/web/20080704192900/http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/02/04/a-look-at-the-memeorandum-killers/) (Excellent round-up by Mike. I’ll be investigating some of these in-depth soon…)

– [Mark Evans ponders](https://web.archive.org/web/20080704192900/http://evans.blogware.com/blog/_archives/2006/2/3/1743039.html) Memeorandum’s next move (“I suspect he’s trying to build a viable business rather than positioning memeorandum for an acquisition by Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, etc.”)

– [Don Dodge on the meme trackers](https://web.archive.org/web/20080704192900/http://dondodge.typepad.com/the_next_big_thing/2006/02/meme_tracking_w.html) (“There will be a few winners who make a lot of money, and a lot of “also rans” who will fade away. “)
