There’s a downside to the “I follow” movement. I’ve been seeing these “seo magic” articles that list out all the blogs they’ve found not using “nofollow” and encourage folks to leave comments for SEO purposes. I get some garbage comments… If the comment is tolerable but the link is to a splog, I’ll edit out the URL… (read the Disclaimer page).
That being said, I still prefer “I follow” over “nofollow”. I just seems friendlier.
The bloggers are going nuts over Dell shipping PCs with Ubuntu on ‘em. I, personally, think it is pretty dang cool. Coding Horror has a great article up titled, “The End of the Microsoft Tax at Dell” that is a good read.
I enjoyed Daily WTF’s “The Great Pyramid of Agile” article today. There’s a lot to like about Agile, just as there’s a lot to like about following any sort of process. But sometimes the hype gets a bit too much.
Have you seen Eve, the real time network visualization tool? Holy matrix batman. Check out the videos. I don’t know yet if I need it, but I sure want it.

Yea, when I removed the No Follow tag a bit ago, I posted guidelines about what I would moderate. I still get a bunch of trash, but for the most part it has been a good ride. I think as long as you don’t get an overwhelming about of comments to begin with — everythings good.
