I am curious to learn what you guys think about Bill Gates' comment about blogs and their business importance. This comes at an interesting time, it seems to me, with all the semblance of a Microsoft-backed blogging tool or application coming soon...

it's be better if gates spent some time figuring out how to make it easier for customer to communicate with his company.
trying reporting a bug against a microsoft product.
maybe if they allowed comments on their own blogs it would be a step in the right direction.

It's 1995 all over again. See my recent post.

I heard talk a while back that Longhorn will have an RSS Aggregator on the desktop!!? Don't know how much truth was in it, but his comments imply that perhaps it will have some blog tools build in as well.

It will not be a bad thing if Microsoft gets behind RSS in Longhorn and/or their other future project releases. Just their support alone will further along the exposure and promotion for everybody.

what is or does blog mean?
6 - Eric Olsen
contraction of "web log" - read the top-left of this page, just below the Red Dead Revolver ad
7 - Mark Saleski
some blogging stuff will be integrated into longhorn.
it will be deemed an 'innovation'.

I heard that blogs will be removed from Google index.
It is nonsense. It will not help in fighting spammers.

Yes that is true. I only heard that links from blogs will not affect ranking no longer. This might be a better idea.

Yes that is true. I heard that if you flash your lights at someone to let them know their lights aren't on, you'll wake up in a bathtub filled with ice and youre kidneys will both be missing.

I am a blogger turned author. My new book "Dinner With Da Vinci" is nonfiction.
That URL is not working.
I have just written a book to be published by end of May. And I will be selling it online. It ties into "The Da Vinci Code" but is not a thriller and is NOT fiction. It is a memoir and also historical (mostly) work of nonfiction that explores the true living bloodline of Jesus as they have reappeared by the laws of rebirth.
That's right Jesus and everyone of us has been reborn over and over again and it is all in my new book..."Dinner with Da Vinci" before you roll your let me tell you that I wrote the first chapter (for which the book is named)in the year 2000, before the Da Vinci Code, and began my research like 35 years ago.
I will post the link when it goes on sale.
Who knew?
