Blogmela and DesiPundit bring the best posts of Indian blogosphere to the fore. It’s really nice to see them using WordPress.
Microsoft to support RSS natively in Longhorn. This would probably make it much easier for those common users who think that, that blue e is the internet.

Since using Odeo, I’m tempted to push for a podcast. Listening to people, whose blog I have read for some years and whose voices I thought I’d never get to hear, was a new dimension I really enjoyed.

‘Beta itna mat peeo’ (Son, don’t drink this much).
Dan Gillmor asks you to sign-up for citizen journalism.
