[weblogs] The Taking of RiotHero 1 2 3: “Way back in the mists of time, there was a country called England, which was known for conquering things, drinking tea and having rural areas where the locals indulged in carnal acts with lesser species (or their close families).” [Tom and Katy have taken over Riothero for the weekend. Should be interesting…]

[weblogs] Two weblogs that keep me hitting the “F5” key — Not So Soft and Metafilter.

[weblogs] Barbelith reviews top eight weblogs. [Voice in head: Must… find… online… personality…]

[weblogs] Interview with Jorn Barger – Portrait Of The Blogger As A Young Man . “I try to make it my ethic that whenever I see something that I enjoy, I don’t filter. You know, if it’s some silly thing about a TV commercial, I won’t say, well, that’s too frivolous.”

[uk weblogs] UK weblogs I’m currently eyeballing: Blue Lines, not so Soft, SK², Vavatch Orbital and Nutlog along with the old stalwards: Barbelith and The Daily Doozer.

[weblogs] USS Catastrophe — a weblog about comics…

[weblogs] Dave goes nuclear on WinerLog. [Update 19.00pm: There’s an interesting thread on Metafilter about WinerLog]

[weblogs / tech] WinerLog — very funny if you visit Dave Winer’s Scripting News. Speaking of disconnects, I got an email from Dave Userland support. It begins “We’d like to stop hosting winerlog.” Weird. We’d say, “Sure Dave, whatever you want, because we love you!!!!!!!”

[weblogs] Well it had to happen: newsUnlimited has a weblog.

[weblogs] The daddy and mummy of weblogging have an argument. [Update: Jorn’s response]

[weblogs] Jim Roepcke has come up with a really cool interface to the favourites facility of weblogs.com. For example here is: linkmachinego.com’s, Daily Doozer’s and Barbelith’s.

Hey! Barbelith is being updated again… Probably the best UK blog around…. Check out The Bomb while you’re there….

Check out Blogger. It’s the website I use to update linkmachinego.com — the Blogger website just got a redesign.
