Michael Moore Starts Blogging

On July 4th, 2004, Michael Moore started a blog “for the common good or just to keep from watching whatever crap is on TV right now.” (Dude, where’s your comments section?)

What’s a Klog?

“Klogs [Knowledge Logs] are simply blog software interfaces appropriated for company knowledge-management tools as a quick and easy, and participatory, content management system. Some firms may have IT departments build content management tools from scratch, often with uneven results due to usability difficulty. The sheer number of blog users online testifies to the ease of use for blog software, which may speak for their adoption for in-house klogs.”
– Christine Boese, The Spirit of Paulo Freire in Blogland (Into the Blogosphere) [Via Jerz.]

CSS Art

The art of CSS (Cascading StyleSheets) is not only helpful to keep your HTML lean and highly accessible to search engines (and other clients). It can also be used to draw a house.

Bloglines Update

Bloglines.com (a nice web-based RSS-reader) is celebrating its first birthday and received a face-lift, as well as a new blogging feature of their own called “Clip Blogs”.

Battling Spam

My colleague Markus is battling spam trying to become the owner of his inbox again, but apparently Gmail protection is not a lot of help in the quest.

What DMOZ.org is to HTML pages, RSSfeeds.com sets out to be for RSS feeds. [Via ResearchBuzz.]
