More on Scoble’s aggregator blog

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Looks like Kunal has come up with a solution for Robert’s aggregator blog that should keep everyone happy:

“His new version will post titles, and some text from the body, and post that. Only a small portion, though, not the entire text.”

That’s excellent, I was really worried that he would switch over to a typical “link-blog” which is not one of my favorite things in the world. Simply put, unless you have really descriptive links, I don’t have time to follow all the links on your link-blog to find the one or two that might be interesting to me. I’ve found that most people don’t put enough in the text of their links to help you decide whether the link is relevant to you. (Myself included, which is why I’ve really tried to not do posts with just a bunch of links and no real discussion of what will be found there.)

Looking forward to seeing it back in my aggregator!

    I saw this post on Network World fusion about Skype and started following the links. It’s pretty interesting reading, especially Mark O’Neill’s post about using Skype behind a NAT firewall. I hadn’t really thought about the P2P aspects of Skype and how being behind a firewall that doesn’t allow incoming TCP or UDP connections could…

    Interesting article on the latest twist in the fax laws. I’m pretty torn about this issue. As the IT person for a small business I can tell you that trying to prepare for the day when we can’t fax anyone without their written permission has been burdensome, to the point where we probably won’t do…
