Guardian Unlimited: The atrocity through the eyes of weblogsAnother quality of weblogs that I appreciate: the feeling of author and reader together, equally ignorant, on a web journey of discovery. There is nothing worse than an ignorant Sky News anchor asking scripted questions designed to shore up their credibility. I like the tone of modest inquiry that the best of the bloggers adopt.

Gerry McGovern: Website content: the need to specializeOne of the most serious mistakes that people new to content make is underestimating the expense and sheer difficulty of launching a successful publication. Yes, the Internet has made everyone a publisher, and every website is indeed a publication. What is lacking, however, is an understanding of publishing. Hard lessons are only recently being learned.

NY Times: Internet Surpasses Its Original GoalTo judge by the availability of media sites, many of which were inaccessible in the hours just after the first plane hit the World Trade Center on Tuesday morning, one might assume the Internet had failed the test. But in fact, according to firms that analyze Web site traffic and performance, while some sites slowed, the overall flow of data across the Internet was not degraded by either damage to critical fiber optic lines or the clogging of those lines by Web users.

Washington Post: Taking Classes To
Washington Post: Taking Classes To the Masses While the killer app that would draw people by the millions to online learning hasn't materialized, while many high-profile ventures flounder, there have been big strides at a more mundane level. Hundreds of universities of every sort have been putting some pretty basic courses up on the Web, using sometimes pedestrian software. And students seem to think they're okay.

Tehelka: Not just falling buildings
Tehelka: Not just falling buildingsAs the talking heads on American television have begun bristling with threats of armed retaliation, it is necessary to say this over and over again. The Arab people are not just terrorists, but teachers. Not just terrorists, but patient mothers. Not just terrorists, but children wanting toys. Or, to hell with cliches! They are not just terrorists, but a man worried about his second ulcer. Not just terrorists, but a woman wanting books. Not just terrorists, but a family terrified of terrorists who come in tanks.
