Dave Winer on Marc Barrot's expandable blog node structure
I think they're onto something here:
Marc Barrot has the kind of weblog I want. One where you can see seven days at a time, but only today's posts are expanded. Screen shot. It's been quite a while since I've had such weblog envy.

Darwinism in business
Chris Wenham:
Forces of Nature. The giants of retail crush the little guys with little more than a reflex. America's corporate Grand Masters are like forces of nature, causing pipsqueeks in their path to die from the sum of their own mistakes. [Disenchanted]
My favorite quote:
“If you want to beat Bobby Fischer, don't play chess,” claims Rob Glaser, the CEO of RealNetworks, a company that hasn't yet been killed by its competitor, Microsoft. His method is to keep re-inventing his business plan (changing the game) until his constipation let up and he finally squeezed $1 million of profit out of $47 million in revenues. Glaser's strategy, however, is more like a frightened flight. If Microsoft forces him to jump from revenue plan to revenue plan, he'll eventually run out of lily pads.
