Yahoo blogs! (in Korea) @ Radio Free Blogistan

John Robb notes the orange XML (RSS) icon on this Korean Yahoo blog page called IDE Designer.

What's interesting is that they are experimenting with blogs at kr.blog.yahoo.com, but if you hack the URL down to just blog.yahoo.com you are redirected to groups.yahoo.com. I assume this is just temporary.

I continue to lobby my friends (OK, friend) at Yahoo! to let me help bring them into the weblogging world, to no avail. Then again, they already have Jeremy Zawodny, so they're probably covered when they're ready.

Feedback on Design and Legibility: While on the one hand it's self-indulgent to devote so many column inches to discussing the design of this site and its legibility for my readership, on the other hand I'm sure many of the opinions would apply to any blog, so in that spirit I'm going to quote from some...

Automated Aggregation!: Ask and ye shall receive.

Automated Aggregation?: In the interests of offering one-stop shopping, I figure I should cross-post here pretty much anything I blog anywhere else (as always, by category). Frankly, though, it's tedious to cut-and-paste or even post through the aggregator (plus my LiveJournal's RSS feed is headlines-only). I wonder if it might be possible to... (Best Practices)

Revolution? Well, You Know...: Andrew Bayer Is Dreaming of China takes issue with some of Dave Winer's more upopian pronouncements of the importance of weblogs to the future: Here's the thing — he's assuming, first of all, that everyone will have a computer.
