And let’s hope that [...]

RSS: What’s the Deal in 2010?
I've long been a big fan of RSS, and Google Reader continues to dominate a good chunk of my web working day. But though RSS plays a larger role on the web than most people realize, it has not quite reached the potential that many saw for it and has certainly eluded household name status. [...]

Remember The Truth Laid Bear? It’s okay if you don’t. I’ve mentioned the blog directory/search engine to a few dialed in friends recently and received blank stares.
