FireFoxIE.net: This is an interesting collection of plugins and hacks to make your FireFox browser look and feel like Internet Explorer. Why would you want to do it? Well, for the diehard FF lovers (like me) they could be useless. However, for the IE crowd that wants to use FireFox but somehow does not like the interface, this could be the ticket! Via: Asa

I understand that a lot of sites are offering “blogging news” and are trying to gain popularity by capitulating in this niche market. Since I tend to keep track of a handful of blogging tools, I tend to find a lot of blogs that are blatantly copying the articles from another blog and passing them off as their own. Some of these blogs are adding attribution, but that is not enough. Let me elaborate a little. I come from a very strict educational background where any sort of plageurism is looked down upon with extreme disgust. Now that might not apply to the blogging world, but I still consider blatant disregard for intellectual property to be a major problem. In academia, usage of material from external sources is encouraged. There are however, very strict rules of identification of sources and proper punctuation of external information so as to designate their […]

Disguised links in excerpted RSS feeds

I hate excerpted RSS feeds. I inadvertently (through mostly my own doing) will subscribe to the excerpted feed rather than the encoded version and I will curse myself through the process of reading the news of these blogs. Imagine reading through Shakespeare without any punctuation. RSS, in my opinion, is already a pretty bland way to gather information and takes away from the experience of reading a blog. However (boy I like that word!) reading through, and making sense of articles that are devoid of any sort of indication of the content, is very confusing. Case in point. I was reading Jeremy’s feed this morning. Zawodny had written about RSS searches and Joseph Scott‘s recent views on the lack of good RSS search engines (which I had already read and commented on previously). However, without any links or any blockquotes being highlighted, this is what I read as the article […]

Nick Bradbury: What’s wrong with feed readers: Drawing the fine line between richness of features and usability of feed readers. Nick decides to concentrate on the user who is new to RSS and news while trying to keep the learning curve very shallow. In my opinion, this will attract more (new) users to his already wonderful product.

noscope | About WordPress, Usability and Open Source Development: An angle on the problem with the WordPress Open Source project and a suggested solution. Very well fleshed out thoughts, most of which I agree with and believe that a lot of the suggestions are already implemented in the WordPress development process and might not be immiediately visible.
