0xDECAFBAD » Queue everything and delight everyone interesting blog post on architectures for scalability of microblogging and messaging/publishing. argues for queue systems over sql queries, which is reasonable. consider extensibility of the queue processors as the hook for new apps/innovations.
Let the microblogs bloom – RussellBeattie.com this guy is right. there are definitely opportunities for niche microblogs, and they don't need to suffer from the same scaling issues. think ning for microblogging, or twitter/plurk for workgroups. the shared timeline becomes a wonderful communal asset.
Handwritten Typographers this guy sent requests to various famous typographers to get a sample of their handwriting. I personally prefer (and relate to) Söderström's messiness. :) from dave merrill.
