Aaron has written his own outliner markup language OTLML - and has some interesting ideas about how to render them.

How to stop innovation!
Pictures of the new Messenger 4.5. (Link courtesy of 090978.org). This is a killer-app that will stop most innovation/competition in the “live collaboration” market. Great example of Microsoft using it’s monopoly’s bundling power to conquer a market.

Shifted instant messaging client from MSN Messenger to Jabber. Nicely interface, gateway’s to msn, yahoo, icq, etc. It’s opensource - and microsoft free - you should change im client too…

Messaging vendors rally around SIMPLE protocol. Finally interop in instant messaging seems plausible.

The future of the web: Applications that’s taken the cluetrain-pill and are starting to have “conversations” with other applications. This is what SOAP, WDSL, XML, UDDI, etc. is all about.

Interesting new instant messaging client: Trillian

Meet with my old pal Rasmus, now a days co-founder of danish software startup Web500. We go back to around 1993, i think, when we as macintosh freaks both had an account on the legendary “MacMermaid BBS”. They’re definately on to something and seems very well-balanced as a company. Good product design, technology and sales and marketing - all with a good entrepreneurial attitude. They don’t make it more difficult than it is!
The html-based interface for their template design was amazing - definately the best i’ve ever seen in a content management system.
Wonder when we’ll see a weblog module/template in their product? ;_)
