Another big link dump. Some of these links came from other linkdumps. If you think your blog is the source of some of these links, you have my thanks, I enjoyed reading them. :-) Actually, I do remember several links came from this linkdump by Josh.

By the way, I built this linkdump using an AppleScript I wrote that builds links from all open NetNewsWire tabs and puts that HTML into a new MarsEdit post window. This will apparently be part of NNW 3, but I couldn't wait, and well, the script was dead-easy to write, and fun too! If you want the script, let me know.

Now what I need is the same thing for Firefox, I've got a ton of tabs open there too. :-)

I haven't started using Twitter (yet), but I agree that this lightweight model is killer, and it's going to become more common.

We did this at Macrobyte back in 2000. I tried, very hard yet unsuccessfully to promote this idea at Tyrell in 2002. I wish I had pushed harder, but the pushback was strong enough that I felt it was best to give up. I should have been more proactive and done it myself. I did, on occasion, but not consistently enough. I think part of the problem is that blogging tools just aren't lightweight (see my comments on Twitter above) enough to get people to buy in. I think something like Twitter for work is even better than an IRC channel, because it doesn't have the same distraction potential. That's not to say your Twitter log can't be broadcasted to your workgroup's IRC channel, just that you shouldn't be switching to your IRC client to post something.

Years ago I wrote a Rendezvous/Bonjour-oriented Cocoa app to do something like Twitter. I regret not releasing it, because I think it would have worked really well.

I need to release more of the software I write - I've written a lot of good stuff that I didn't release that as a result didn't receive the attention it deserved to mature.
