In its "Other Websites" section, under the odd heading of "Peacebloggers," Slate gives a short blurb to the Blogcritics project, a site of book, music, film and other reviews entirely by bloggers.
Hey, wasn't it the free LPs and movie tickets—and eventually the ad buys for so-called alternative music—that killed the 'zine movement?

Catching up at nickdenton.org I see he identifies a second "blog martyr" (after Steve Olafson):
Other blog martyrs Brian Sobalak writes in to remind me that Heather Hamilton of Dooce was fired when her company discovered she'd been bitching on her site. Here's Heather's post on the subject.One of the most popular Google searches in my referer logs is for "Steve Olafson" so the meme of the fired blogger must have legs.

Since I did the original test installation of MovableType locally (on my PowerBook) a few months ago and have only fiddled with it since then, I decided to bite the bullet and install MT on my remote (Linux) server to reacquaint myself with the process, and to explore the 2.2 version of the software.
When I've completed this, ideally later today, I'll post my long-promised Radio vs. MovableType comparison entry. (Thanks to Bladam for some suggestions about what issues warrant attention in the comparison.)

Bet You Can't Read Just One
Agh. I've just tossed three hours down the blogosphere memory hole, clicking open links in new windows and following the trails of breadcrumbs. The incestuous cross-linking between blogs is a joy and a burden.

Nick Denton takes Traction to task for the buzzword bingo in their press release:
Oh no, the corporate wordmanglers have got hold of blogging. "Traction is a leader in next generation Enterprise Weblog software, delivering interoperable, inexpensive, rapidly deployable, open and easy to use tools for groups and teams to communicate, share, organize and link business information in context."Someone from Traction contacted me after I mentioned them in this blog a week or so ago and offered to explain to me their product offering. I plan to take him up on it and haven't had time yet, but I will report back on what I learn when I do.
