David Galbraith’s weblog aggregator wishlist

Filed in Publishing

My aggregator top ten wishlist items:
1. Search

2. Ability to pick a selection of blogs from a limited list of categories, not too many – prob like Google news.

3. Ability to do scoped search within these categories.

4. ‘More like this’ recommendations.

5. ‘People who linked to this blog’ button beneath selections.

6. ‘People this blog links to’ button beneath selctions (blogroll plus contextual)

7. Browseable list of blogs ranked alphabetically or by popularity or by rate of increase in popularity in addition to category lists above.

8. Ability to view other users’ public lists of blogs and to clone and modify their lists to add to mine.

9. OPML and javascript export of part or all of my list as a blogroll.

10. Installable browser component that takes my list and makes it like a bookmark list, but with one key difference, it shows the number of new items in parentheses next to the bookmark.

Overall I want something that looks like iTunes Music Store but for blogs.

Blogging for Corporate Intelligence

Filed in Economy | Management | Publishing

Stephen Downes in his predictions for 2004 suggest that a form of “non-blog blogging” will begin to emerge. He describes this as a way to tap into the views and opinions held by the vast majority of people who will not write publicly.

Downes also predicts that 2004 will be the year of personalization. He focuses this personalization around topic based feeds, which deliver only the content that is of interest to that user.
