Ulises A. Mejias is one heck of a thinker when it comes to communication and the online. I’ve been waiting to go through my note-riddled copies of Online Discourse (.pdf) and Distributed Textual Discourse (.pdf) for some time now, perhaps not putting anything here because I don’t feel like a blog post would do it …
Via Full-Circle, I ran into this (Kubrick at Blogspot!) introduction and overview to Technorati tags which is nothing if not comprehensive.

Dave Tosh says in the comments: “We are planning to release the system as Open Source – hopefully by the end of this week, fingers crossed!” To which I say that is fan-bloody-tastic! For those of you who don’t know Elgg is a kind of authenticated blog / FOAF tool that might just be the …
I think my memory is going, only when I read Judith’s post about Apcala did I realise that I’d probably been asked not to invite people to Elgg, whoops! Either way the good news is that you don’t need an invite… you can go to Apcala and register yourself (and make sure you add me …
The relentless march of WPMU and IncSub blogs continues apace with all blogs now having Kittens Spaminator automatically installed (bye bye spam!) and also a stats tool (it’s a tab on the ‘Dashboard’… haven’t used it yet so tell me what you think. Looks like I’ll be able to set a limit on the MB …
