As you can see from my other diary entries I have been interested in weblogs and the "visitors" that use them.
Right now I want to ask what tools do you use to help find blogs, know when information is updated, ways of handling html without having to type all the protocols in, and any other tool or website that increases your satisfaction or quality of experience on a blog?

I have been working on a dynamic search engine and am looking for a name to call this venture. As you can see from other diary entries, I am looking to match up potential customers with blogs that would be of interest to them. Not to take anything away from this fine blog, I am sure even kos members would like to visit other weblogs that fit their interests and desires also.
The four choices I am looking at are:

*DecisionCity
*MyQuester
*MyWebDog
*RankItBest

Thanks for all your input. Don't hesitate to ask if you have further inquiries.

One factor at work we have discussed is how fast does a website load. Most blogs load fairly fast since they use graphics sparingly. Would you ever decide not to visit a blog if it took too long to load? Web Site Optimization.com has an interesting tool for testing download times. With a 56k modem alsoalso speed was 10.95 seconds which then SOCEngine rates this as a respectable 7/10. For comparison kos has a speed of 16.88 seconds for 56k with a score of 6/10. And under analysis and recommendations A2 did much better.
Do you consider speed in download times when visiting sites?

Since I will be advertising a business on line I have looked at some of the search engines and some aspects of getting our name higher on a google search. I think in many ways you are doing just what needs to be done. You have lots of good outgoing links and an increasing number of blogs are linking to you, with a drop of one this week to 55. From the sounds of it you are spreading your name around by word of mouth and posting on other blogs. Read More

The first point I want to make is the concept of blogs being communities Communities, shared spaces and weblog reading. If blogs are little microcisms of society with no boundries, then how does the individual find his "home" and his relationship to his neighbors?
"Can blogging replace communities of practice?" says it nicely about prior attempts to create virtual communities...
Before the development of weblogs, "online community" tools like forums, mailing lists and bulletin boards were predominantly used for community building. Experience seems to show that weblogs are proving far more effective in creating meaningful interpersonal connections than centralized community spaces on the web. Can networks of bloggers be seen as the future of online communities? Read More

I want to make one point only at this time and not discuss which is worse Durbin or Rove's comments.
But there is one factual point which is incorrect at:
Al-Jazeera broadcasts Durbin's words...
And be sure to check comments here:

And his "more despicable lie" is correct at:

US senator regrets Nazi remark
Wednesday 22 June 2005, 19:44 Makka Time, 16:44 GMT
"US Senator Dick Durbin has apologised for comparing American interrogators at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp to Nazis and other historically infamous figures."
I did read the original June 16 about his remarks and his refusal to apologize but could not bring it up today. I also remember the link from above as of yesterday.
But keep up the good work!
After I appologize for this with tears in my eyes, I will be back.
