Standalones

While we were all scratching our collective head, the world seems to have moved someplace, and we'd better catch up. More and more of my friends are moving to standalone blogs. While the combination of RSS (or, rather, Atom) and OpenID and OPML (through which one can recreate one's friend list in a matter of seconds on any new RSS aggregator) gives ( Read more... )
