MSNBC via Scripting News via Roland Tanglao:

490, 000 blogs and a new blog every 40 seconds! Wow! But the bigger story is what’s happening on the 490,000-plus Weblogs that few people see.

Two thousand new blogs every day is a a grave responsibility and public trust. We are at a tricky stage in a product category's life cycle. The average user's skill level falls as the accellerating newbie influx makes the population grow younger. Now is the:

• Time for blog usability.
• Time for localization.
• Time to work out every big and noticeable bug.
• Time for measurement and watching the unintended ways people use your tools.
• Time to wrap dangerous code in GUI so tinkering is only on purpose and  out of accidental reach.

This is for all the vendors in this space. The folks who make Radio, Blogger, and the other great tools. And the bold tweakers who make those products better. We have the juice, let's put it in a clean glass with a little parasol.
