– There are 1.12 million feeds in Bloglines that “matter”, says Ask Jeeves Blog (meaning at least 1 person subscribes to it. nb: SEW and Niall both point out that some blogs have multiple feeds) – Feedburner begins to expand into “major media accounts and global relationships” (fulfilling all the hype I lavished onto them in my Best Web 2.0 Companies of 2004 post last year) – Comparing tech companies to countries (check out the comments – there are some funny comparisons. e.g. “delicious is Chechnya: Comprehensible only to those inside.”) – Profile of Bokee, China’s top blogging network (they’re planning a “virtual currency”, a la Korea’s Cyworld, which will enable Bokee bloggers to charge their readers) – Study finds usability issue with blogs (if you’re a blog consultant, the PDF report is well worth pondering) – Tony Gentile tells us to expect continued integration in Yahoo’s network (yes the social networking, aggregation, RSS, media, etc pieces are all coming together quite nicely for Yahoo) – PaidContent.org on Yahoo’s Silicon Valley and Hollywood goings-on (see also WSJ.com and Om Malik) – Greasemonkey has a serious security flaw (Mark Pilgrim sounded the warning and the Greasemonkey blog has details) – Slashdot community debates the future of Firefox (as one commenter said, “I want to know how firefox devs plan to address security concerns with the browsers.”) – Backing up your Gmail account (use pop3 or the auto-forward feature)
