DaveNet: InfoWorld and Deep Linking. "Bottom-line, could the web get by without InfoWorld? Yes. Could InfoWorld exist without support from the web? I think not."

TechWeb: Open Source Dictatorships. "My workload is lower because I don't have to see the crazy ideas," Torvalds said. "I see the end point of work done for a few months or even a year by other people."

Atlantic Monthly: "Heads turned in June when Linus Torvalds's Linux operating system was awarded first prize by the judges of an international art festival. How far, one wonders, can the open source model go?"

Scott Rosenberg: Don't Link or I'll Sue. "Objectors to deep linking, like Ticketmaster and Universal, want to have their Web businesses both ways: They put their services and content out on the public Web to attract users, but they also expect to be able to control every facet of how those users access their services and content."

Phil Wolff likes XML-RPC for Preferences, but wants to know about privacy.

Wired: Firefly Snuffed. "By mid-1997, the company had become a standard-bearer for 'Open Profiling,' and was working with Microsoft and Netscape, among others, to establish rules and regulations for how sites handled information about their users."

Linking policies: NASDAQ, LaSalle Banks.

Here's a site that doesn't mind being linked to. They claim to have the longest domain name on the net!
