I guess I shouldn’t be shocked by this, but reading this paragraph from Scripting.Com did leave my jaw hanging wide open.
People want to know why I like the new search so much. I can now easily see what I said about almost anything over time. Sometimes it makes me wince. Most of the time it makes me laugh. It’s the data. I especially like the pictures. They surprise me. It turns my weblog into a long-term thing.
I am really stunned that until just this week Winer had no easy way of mining his weblog for important topical information like this, and, even worse, that he’s just now realizing this might be a good thing to have.
Isn’t this where someone chimes in to say,
I’m amazed that people think Radio Userland is so advanced. They have a long way to go before they catch up to Movable Type and Conversant. . . .Too many steps, too much memorization.
