On December 14, Google’s RSS feed reader application, Google Reader, introduced a new way for Google-defined “friends” to see your “shared” feed items. At that point, the feature caused this reporter to blow a fuse, because I realized Reader was letting competing bloggers automatically see my shared feed items. Then, only a couple of others wondered about the move. But this past week, more fuses have been blowing, as Reader users discovered that business competitors, politically sensitive rela

You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it. … Sitting by the Christmas Tree I’ll be sitting by the tree thinking abou

Mozilla is announcing Weave, an application that will enhance the browsing experience in various ways.   I’m somewhat confused about what this means to users, but my early understanding is that this is a Flock-like approach, trying to make the browser environment a better one for socializing,  multitasking, and customized uses.
