My comment on this article:
I think a nice way to get the best of both worlds is to see things the other way around. People used to have a very static website and then a blog in a subdirectory, like xyz.com/blog.

I’ve been trying W3 Counter for the past few days and I must say I like it. It’s a nice replacement to statcounter when it comes to live stats. It’s nowhere near replacing Googla Analytics though…

Web 3.0. On top of the fact that I hate most definitions of the Web (including Web 2.0), We’re still trying to explain to businesses what Web 2.0 mean and how it can benefit them. I understand the human need for formal definitions and everything, but I think there’s just one version of the Web, evolving every minute to become smarter and more useful.

My comment on this article:
Honest answer: 99% of twitter users don’t care about this setting.
I personally think it would be better to still leave the option, but give it a default of “only get replies of people you follow”. This way, the average user won’t bother changing the setting and most advanced users will understand what this is about.
