BurningbirdI’m sure that it’s only a coincidence that Daypop disappears from the Web the same day that Blogtank makes its first full day appearance. Really. I’m sure that the ‘Tankers had nothing to do with it.
(Note to self — make sure to pay my Blogtank dues…quickly)
And did you all hear the news? Movable Type version 2.0 was released today. Another fine tool for the webloggers toolkit.

Gary, one of my favorite webloggers has a new idea (which should strike terror in the hearts of everyone who knows him) — a blogtank, equivalent to a weblogging think tank.
I like the premise of proposing a topic, and then seeing how different people respond to it. I’m just not sure about all those webloggers’ thoughts all smooshed on to one page.
One of the advantages of separate weblogs is that you, the reader, have a moment of time as you traverse from one weblog to another, giving you a brief respite to clear your mind of one person’s particular weblogging style before going to another person’s. Something equivalent to the sherbert in multi-course meals, served to clear the palette between courses.
Switching between weblogs, waiting for the load, finding the newest posting admist the unique decor — weblogging shebert. Blogbert.
At this moment there are already 10 postings from a variety of people, each funny and interesting when viewed individually. However, without blogbert, the words form a synthesized message equivalent to:
What think?
In case you’re wondering, yes, I did pull an earlier weblog posting. Meryl had left comments with the post, but I don’t think she’ll mind that I pulled it considering that the nature of the posting was a joke, and a bad one at that.
How much do we listen to each other? How of much of what we do is skimming a weblog looking for the “juicy” parts, so that we can act and react accordingly?
This weekend, I’ve seen way too much reaction, and not enough comprehension. And I see signs of this continuing.
I’m tired. Tonight, I feel really tired.

Eric wrote the following in response to a comment John Robb made about journalistic coverage of web services:
‘…that’s what the press does: it’s reactive, it covers emerging trends as they emerge, but it doesn’t instantly declare, “Revolution in the barnyard, the big rooster is dead” the instant the tiny chick makes its first hole in the shell (as much as the chick would like it to).’
Cluck. Cluck. Heh.
