Hopefully the leading blogging tools will add support for these conventions
[…] The Internet is still incredibly young, and it’s grown up organically. Because of those two things, its users haven’t yet come together to determine a fully standardized system for attribution. We’re making it up as we go along. Which leads to a lot of experimentation (the hat-tip and the via and the RT and the MT!) … and to a lot of confusion. On the web, the line between sharing and stealing — between being a helpful conduit of information and being, on the other hand, a jerk — can be frighteningly thin.
That could be changing,… Continue reading: The Curator’s Guide to the Galaxy – Megan Garber – Technology – The Atlantic
I’m sorry to see Amplify go, as I continue to search for a multi-platform alternative to Windows Live Writer; perhaps Clipboard will evolve to address my blogging needs. In any case, I appreciate the Amplify team being considerate as they wind down, and wish them well. Now it’s time for me to revisit Clipboard, and to see what it has been up to lately… I’m also hopeful Evernote will add blog publishing to its feature set sometime soon; it’d be ideal, for my preferences, to be able to blog (via Blogger) using Evernote.
What’s being announced?
Clipmarks.com and Amplify.com are shutting down immediately. Clipboard.com — a new clipping site under entirely different management… Continue reading: Clipboard | Blog: You Say Goodbye and I Say Hello
“When the going gets weird…”
Trend alert: In Silicon Valley, popular bloggers are realizing that instead of trying to make a living by selling ads, they can instead hit up venture capitalists for money. As I described last week in a post on my personal blog, these savvy bloggers will use the money to create “angel funds,” which they in turn will use to make investments in small startup companies—which bloggers often hear about before the rest of the world. Those investments, if bloggers are smart and/or lucky, could end up being worth millions.

A painful lesson for someone in the Googleplex
Google, which says it had no idea it was paying bloggers to promote its Chrome browser, is punishing itself for doing so. The search giant tells Danny Sullivan it will penalize the “pagerank” of www.google.com/chrome for “at least 60 days.” Google has blamed the pay-per-post campaign on ad network Unruly Media, but says “Google should be held to a higher standard, so we have taken stricter action than we would against a typical site.”

Oops…
Google appears to have paid bloggers to write about Chrome in a way that violates its own paid link policy, according to Search Engine Land. If Google applied a similar penalty to those it’s doled out to past violators, the Chrome download page would be removed from its search engine results for between a month and a year. Don’t bet on that happening, though. The campaign is another example of how Google’s diverse business can lead it to trip over itself.
