It’s true, even the US military is podcasting. Did you know that the New York Police Department has a podcast? Makes me wonder what the rest of us are waiting for.

Hey folks, check out out this week’s TechSoup event on Web 2.0 tools for non profits. It’s a series of forum discussions hosted by a variety of interesting folks in the field. I wrote about it in a previous post. I’ll be hosting threads on wikis and RSS tommorow.

Ok, so some folks are still having trouble getting their bookmarklet set up to be indexed by Technorati’s tag search. Below is the bookmarklet.
For some reason it appears that some users are getting code that looks like this:
a rel=”tag” href=”http://
instead of like this: a href=”http://…” rel=”tag”
Now I don’t know why this bookmarklet would give you code unlike what it gives me. I really don’t. My first guess is always to wonder wether it’s a PC/Mac thing. Are folks who are using PCs getting that funky code and Mac users are getting the correct code when they push the button? Any javascript experts out there with suggestions?
Ok, I’d really like to get this figured out and move on. This should be a big time saver once we get it taken care of.

Several items of interest today re China, where a number of regular readers live. I love it when people from China visit this site. Perhaps primarily for the rest of us, here’s some links to interesting news today about China and the web.
I imagine we’re going to see a lot of very exciting web-related things come out of China. I hope that the Chinese web will help the world become a more just place.
Isn’t it frustrating when the contact info on some one’s web page is just a “mailto:” link that makes your desktop email software system pop-up when you click on it? Are you one of the many people who only uses web based email, like Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail? Well, for Firefox users there’s now a solution. Check it over at the Download Squad’s write up of a tool that allows you to change your browser settings to open your web mail account instead when you click a “mailto:” link.
BTW, I’ve been really bummed lately but Firefox is just moving so so so slow on my Mac that I’ve been using Safari instead. Anyone else having a similar problem? There’s so many incredible things that can be done with Firefox, I’d really like to get it working for me again.
Anyone have any experience setting up a blog of content aggregated from elsewhere, via tags, that posts each tagged object as a unique blog post, with onsite comments enabled? I need to figure out how to do that.

Here are some changes I’ve made to my site, followed by an interesting graph about the state of the blogosphere.
People subscribed to my RSS feed won’t notice changes made to my sidebar, but there have been several this morning. First, I got rid of the Google Adsense. It was supposed to be contextual advertising, but it was often not very specific in connection to the particular post it was near. I’ve had 1300 page impressions in the week since I put the ads on this site and not one person has clicked on a single ad. Ok, good learning experience. A friend pointed out that my readers are probably particularly sophisticated, and thus uninterested in the ads. Hey, that’s you, particularly sophisticated!
Second, I moved my little cluster map up to the top of my sidebar. I think it’s pretty interesting to see where people have been visiting this site from lately. Don’t you? Click on the map to zoom in for more detail. You can get your own map easily at Clustermap.com.
Furthermore, I removed the link I had on the top of the sidebar to LiveMarks. I think it’s great fun, but just didn’t want to link to it anymore.
Finally, check this out. Technorati just released their newest “State of the Blogosphere” report. I found this graph particularly interesting and thought I’d share it with you. (Click on it to enlarge)
