David Emery Onlineasv_tumblelog
A tumblelog plugin for Textpattern which looks very useful as a way of pulling in posts, videos, links and photos on to your site. Irritatingly I found this the day after I had to hack together a way of doing this for an upcoming site… always the way!
Visit ➔Building the Next Last.fm
The new Last.fm beta is very nice – so much clearer and better laid out then before. They also managed to make me lay down some cash to become a subscriber so I could get access – I imagine I’m not the only one…
Visit ➔Two Posts - One Comment Thread
I don’t think that comments should really be run as a separate service, but there’s certainly an ever increasing need for some form of standard comment API so that comments can be shared across multiple sites.
One of my main problems with FriendFeed is that it creates an additional layer of conversation on top of content that normally has a conversation thread already going on the original site – whether that’s a blog posts comments or comments on a photo on Flickr. If services like this could tap into the original comment thread, I guess using something akin to XMLRPC that would be much better, but obviously if we allow posting comments via an API we’d have to think hard how to make to spam proof.
