Presence

In case you're wondering where the future of blogging is, check out Jason Kottke's redesign. The home page is still your traditional blog style - new posts at the top, older as you go down, but the types of posts are different. Some are one-line links, others are movie reviews, book reviews, etc.

The future is a blogging client that can automatically fill in information from web services, like Amazon (I enter in that I'm writing about a particular book, the blogging client goes out and fetches the rest of the information for me). Then each post for each "post-type" is formatted in HTML according to the specific template selected. In addition, metadata information is made available in some sort of XML format on a per post basis, not only within the context of a syndication feed (I would personally prefer this to be RDF, since it was really created for this...).

So many projects to do...so little time.
