Dave is pondering again about Timeless Weblogs
Around 2 years ago, I had a feature request
I have realised it on my own in 2 ways
1. World Wide Wisdom
2. Karmasaya based on phpwiki
I have been using it since a few months and I am happy with it. See what I have come across on the net in 2002 and importantly... what I wanted to remember
Thanks to Aaron Swartz, who cured my starting trouble by stating "Do it yourself!"

Similar to slashdot effect - are there other terms: "diveintomarked", "scriptingnewsed" etc. ?
I had a question for Mark Pilgrim and the answer is ...I do this to weed out public portal pages from my “further reading” lists (not exactly the same problem, but similar)... (Club vs. Lojack solutions)
From HeartSpace: What's New? Spiritual Essays, Poems, travels, etc. : "Ken Wilber: I think any time you have a state that offers liberation from life's suffering, it's relevant. I don't think anybody would want to forgo a capacity for great liberation, including somebody in the modern world. The difficulty, of course, is how then do you bring that into the everyday world in a way that has some sort of relevance. I think that's where the general notion of the bodhisattva tends to make a great deal of sense,. Which is namely, you, after thoroughly realizing the formless state of nirvana, bring that realization to bear on every form that arises. The impulse that accompanies that is something known as compassion. So the driving force becomes, "I have been fortunate enough to find some kind of liberation, freedom, fullness in my own being. How can I communicate that to others in a way that benefits them?"
It's not very different than somebody came along to you and gave you a billion dollars. Most people's initial impulse is, "I'm going to share that with some other people that need it." It's the same thing if you get a really profound awakening experience. It's not, "Oh, I'm going to get away from the world," it's "Oh, somebody gave me a billion dollars. I'm going to go out and share it." And that's generally what happens with people who have that kind of realization. They are moved, in a very very profound way, to share the wealth. And that's what happens. "
Targeted Serendipity - Weblogs aren't just glorified pages of links and rambling personal sites; they are an antidote to mass media. According to the author of "The Weblog Handbook," Rebecca Blood, blogs are also bringing creative expression to everyday people when they need it most.
I searched for "Why I weblog" and found Manufactured Serendipity
ICYouSee: Hints for HTML and Web Authoring : "Tip 2 : Figure out your purpose in life. Or at least figure out the purpose of your Web site. You might ask yourself these questions: What do you want to say? Who do you intend your audience to be? Do you have enough to offer to make a Web site worth your while to create and worth someone's while to look at it, return to, and recommend to a friend. "
