- Mash-Ups the wild wild west of the Web (pretty good business overview of Web 2.0 and Remix Culture - and don't miss the slide show 'Sampling the Web's Best Mash-Ups')
- Steve Rubel wants Microsoft to bet the company on Web 2.0 (in the comments, I pointed to my own analysis of Microsoft and Web 2.0 - in short, I think millions of Windows-run 'devices' will be their interface into Web 2.0)
- Om Malik gets cozy with Marc Andressen (I like Marc's point that new minds and new tech talents will grow in places "we would have never looked before". right on!)
- Latest Harry Potter book digitally pirated within 12 hours (a fully scanned + proofread ebook within 12 hours... I still don't want to read it though) (via waxy)
- More great Tim O'Reilly Web 2.0 quotes (someone advised me recently that I need to work on my "pithy quotes", if I'm to get any mainstream press coverage as an analyst - see Red Herring link below)
- RSS Goes Corporate (I gave some background info for this Red Herring article, but I don't rate a mention)
- You can't sell content online (Mary Hodder says selling services that help manage data and content - such as filtering, search and aggregation - is where the money is)
- Charlie Wood forsees the rise of post-processing feed services, such as inserting ads into feeds. (what's really interesting will be the non-advertising services. e.g. how about more remixing functionality)
- News Corp buys MySpace owner for $580 million (I hadn't realized that mainstream music groups like Black Eyed Peas and R.E.M. streamed their latest releases on MySpace)
- Does MySpace sale signal Web 2.0 peak? (I agree with Adam Rifkin in the comments, it's only just begun!)
