The EirePreneur blog corrected a myth: that TechMeme was seeded solely by me. That isn't true. The original list was heavily influenced by my reading list, Gabe told me, but that original list now has changed so much that only about 4% of the blogs I was reading are part of the current list. (And I'm only reading 100 blogs right now, cause I don't have time to read the 800 I was reading).

Hey, Reg Cheramy, over on Web2.0central.com has a nice list of the top 13 reasons to consider Microsoft for Web 2.0 development. Jinath Premaratne sent me this list and said "I like #8."

Me too, me too!

Update, Matt Griffith gives you the other side of the coin with 13 reasons NOT to consider Microsoft.

Those of you who don't know Raymond Chen might not realize he's one of the most talented developers Microsoft has. Today he posted a fun little challenge and a prediction.

Lee Brimelow just started the WPF Blog, which is about Windows Presentation Foundation from a Flash developer's perspective. Mondo cool, just like WPF. Lee is one of the world's leading Flash tutorial developers (does gotoandlearn.com and lynda.com) and just got hired at Frog design (used to do Flash development at Stanford).

Thanks to Bryan Zug for sending me this (he's a developer at the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford).
