Phil Wolff points to Ming's Metalogue, The NewsLog of Flemming Funch and remarks that people are not easily classified but reading their site could help to know 'em. So I browse a bit and guess what ? he's thinking about relocating in the South of France... One more addition to the aggregator !
Ming's Metalogue: this is a collage of things that catch my eye, things that need to be said, and stuff I really care about
Nice definition
Ming's Metalogue is powered by OrgSpace NewsLog , a subfunction of the community site the New Civilization Network. But he has also written about OrgSpace which reminds me of Agenda and therefore OSAF Chandler.
Another RSS article: News That Comes to You by JD Lasica who posts all his remaining notes on his weblog.
Roger Turner, a freelance software developer in London who inspects his 218 news feeds five to 10 times a day, agrees. "Using a news aggregator has transformed the way I interact with the Web. News comes to me, on my terms. I feel in touch with 10 to 100 times as many sites as before RSS, with less effort."
NYT presents Craigslist (via GAWKER)
Their success in some ways runs against the grain of dot-com wisdom. Craigslist does not require registration, and an e-mail relay system allows posters to remain anonymous yet receive responses. The site does not advertise or accept conventional advertising. It charges a fee only to post job listings, and then - so far - only in the Bay Area. The income from job postings supports a staff of 14, including Mr. Newmark.
Bloomberg in NY
He's wrested the schools from the dysfunctional Board of Education, a goal that's eluded the city's past two mayors. He's put in place the first major initiative in more than a decade to build affordable housing. He has negotiated an end to a 20-year legal fight over the city's handling of the homeless. He's implemented one of the toughest smoking bans in the country. And crime has continued to plummet on his watch, despite a reduced force after 9/11.

Talk show host Jerry Springer is considering running for the U.S. Senate as a Democrat (via Political Wire)
Springer figures it would take $20 million to beat Voinovich and as much as $5 million to win a Democratic primary.
"I have the resources," the 59-year-old millionaire said Wednesday night before speaking at the winter meeting of the Ohio Democratic Party Chairs Association.
Springer is a former Cincinnati mayor and councilman who lost the Democratic primary for governor in 1982 and considered running for the Senate in 2000. He said he also may run for Cincinnati mayor in 2005 or governor in 2006.
