Shallow Reader
I don't like to read feeds in Google Reader or in any other feed reader. After subscribing to sites that seem interesting, Google Reader makes them boring and uniform.

Het rijk, provincies, gemeenten en andere publieke organen behoren tot de grootste informatieverwerkers.

For a few years now people have been talking about semantic search.

Top 10 Ways to Search Wikipedia
Wikipedia, which turned 7 this year, is a source of information for 683 million visitors every year.

Aan de hand van de ontwikkelingen die worden beschreven in de boeken van Daniel Pink en Yochai Benkler laat van der Meij zien hoe modern Persoonlijk Kennismanagement (PKM) eruit ziet en waarom dat van belang is voor de (informatie-) professional van nu. De 'weerbarstige realiteit' van nieuw leiderschap krijgt daarbij ook aandacht. Rattengedrag van medewerkers kan alleen welig tieren als de sturing vanuit een organisatie gebrekkig is.

With its version 3 relaunch, Diigo has an answer to that question: they’ve piled on the features to become the most comprehensive bookmarking site around. Whether you’ll use all of those features is another question, but their combination is at least worth a look. (Web Worker Daily, 24 maart 2008)

Digg, Wikipedia, and the myth of Web 2.0 democracy
It's getting harder to be a Wikipedia-hater. The user-generated and -edited online encyclopedia—which doesn't even require contributors to register—somehow holds its own against the Encyclopedia Britannica in accuracy, a Nature study concluded, and has many times more entries. But even though people are catching up to the idea that Wikipedia is a force for good, there are still huge misconceptions about what makes the encyclopedia tick. While Wikipedia does show the creative potential of online communities, it's a mistake to assume the site owes its success to the wisdom of the online crowd. (Slate, 22 februari 2008)

RSS is easily one of the best things to happen to web publishing in the past 10 years.
