The new Tor.com just went live. Stories by Charles Stross and John Scalzi, blog posts by different people, awesome art galleries.

Microsoft has a project going to sort incoming links to a news story based on political bent of the blog and by the emotional response of the linking blog text.

Technorati broken, reports my blog as ‘top 100′
August 4th 2007 at 1:31 pm
This morning I glanced over at Technorati as part of my once-a-day ego-search routine, and found that obviously something was wrong as my blog was listed as a ‘top 100′ first ranked blog.
