It looks like Macromedia is exploring or considering the idea of providing some sort of blogging products or services or features. If you want to help them gauge the needs of bloggers, take their Blog Authoring Survey.

One of the blogs I host in the Telegraph collective on the Mediajunkie server is The Philter, by Bill Cassel. Bill's been blogging the Tour de France diligently, day by day.
Just sayin'.
I'm looking forward to testing out the new version of Movable Type (Movable Type 3.2 Beta) - if only for the new administrative features.
I have to check my schedule and my budget, but I'm sticking a link to the signup page for blogher here to remind myself to go, if at all possible.
Nick Lewis has unveiled a few tweaks to Drupal (which is also the basis for CivicSpace), which presents the navigation scheme as nested tabs across the top of the browser window instead of expanding and collapsing text links in a floating box in one of the margins.
I'll be adopting this improvement for all my Civicspace sites as soon as I can get it working on a test site.
Meanwhile, I'm too scared to do the Civicspace 0.8.1 upgrade given the recommended process for doing so. Sheesh! This upgrade separates the men from the boys and sets me down firmly on the boys' team.
My sysadmin just pointed me to this listing at craigslist in New York: Bloggers needed - $300 per month.
They pay with PayPal too. Sounds like a blend of the Marquis experiment and the Bzz Agent concept. Wonder who the payer is?
Technorati has unveiled a much more end-user friendly front page. I don't think I see the word "cosmos" anywhere!
But the second most popular search is "Sifry"? Maybe they need to give Dave his own sandbox so he doesn't keep skewing the result sets.
I'm just keeding. I kid, I kid... because I love.
Maybe I should get around to claiming the rest of my umpteen blogs there and updating my profile.
Good luck to the Techorati crew and congratulations!
The MIT Media Lab is conducting a weblog survey.

A friend of mine who works at a cable network tells me they are considering having some of their reality-show characters start blogging, and he asked me if I knew of any good TV blogs. Not in the sense of TV Squad but in the sense of tied to a specific show.
I couldn't think of any, and I warned him against the "Captain Morgan effect."
So, are there any good TV blogs? Blogs tied to TV shows? Do the characters on the OC blog? Or better yet, do actors, directors, producers, or assistants blog about any TV shows?
Suggestions welcome. Please leave a comment.
