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!

    No really, I’m going to be here, probably for a few hours, some time this weekend. I’m going to get to the bottom of that USB adapter issue, as well as the problems I’m having installing Norton to the file server. This way I can work on both problems without interfering with anyone else’s ability…

    You know what I discovered when I went to setup some things on that laptop so someone could use it today? The last person to take it out returned it sans power adapter! Since the battery is not charged, it’s pretty much useless until we either find it, or order a replacement. (I don’t have…

  • Referrer spam

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    I had turned off my webalizer stats on this site a long time ago because of the number of spam referrers I was getting, in hopes that they would go away if there were no actual on-line links that they could get a benefit from by spamming my referrer logs, and after that I pretty…

    Could Hollywood hack your PC? – this law, yet again, gives the RIAA and MPAA the ability to use whatever means necessary to block file trading, regardless of whatever potential damage is done to consumers, and makes it next to impossible for consumers to be compensated if they go too far and cause actual damage….

    We didn’t get back from the in-laws until late yesterday evening. With all the wedding stuff and all the various family members to visit with (They are a big, Southern family, there’s a bunch of them, and they all love to tell stories!!) I never even fired up the laptop all weekend. In fact, I…

  • Good point

    Good point, Geek. I actually never even considered a blog-silence to coincide with the Internet Radio Day of Silence, and I was simply too busy to report on it the way I wanted to today, but I do think the CARP ruling is important information. The RIAA and major media is trying to kill internet…
