2. Dave Winer is LiveBlogging the Microsoft announcement today, along with bunch of other guys.
LiveBlogging is tough. Its tough on the guy trying to capture everything being said. Tough to add your opinions to what is being said. And tough to keep track of the crowd.

Dave’s post today about his sale of weblogs.com, which has been pretty well recieved (except for some folks pointing out some institutional stupidity at Verisign).
