So the entire genome for the 1918 bird flu has been published online.  Bill Joy and Ray Kurzweil explain and hope for it being taken down. Amazing in this age of dissapearing transcripts and changing history that, effectively, plans for a weapon are online.

On friday I saw Squidoo and it pushed me into a slight spiral of despair since I had been thinking about something like this for the past several months. I recovered quickly and Susan Mernit's comments from Seth Godin's keynote at BlogOn have done a great deal to cheer me up even more.  One good thing did come out of the demo on friday,  it gave me another idea.

Fred Wilson on MySpace and AOL.  "AOL is an aging online business whose audience consists mainly of people who have shown no desire to step out and join the roll your own web that is emerging as the best place to be." Much more interesting stuff in his post.
