Nilesh.org Notes on technology and everything else

I seem to have missed some interesting developements in the blogworld off late( apart from the Google Blogger thing) -- Like Dave Sifry's enhancement to the top interesting blogs; Blogstreet's Visual Neighbourhood (though I couldn't quite figure out the use. Something using Geo-tags would have been better); Dave Winer's idea of identity systems on commenting; Daypop's Top Word Bursts; Popdex's trackback aggregation; The new text-formatting plugins of MT 2.63; Ben Hammersley, Sam Ruby and Ken are worried whether in the near future, blogs will talk to each other more than we talk between ourselves. I do feel the same, reading these other *back concepts (apart from trackback).
