I just got my own USB rocket launcher :-) Awsome thing. Plug into your computer and you got a remote controlled office missile launcher with 360 degrees horizontal and 45 degree vertival rotation with a range of more than 6 meters - which gives you a coverage of 113 square meters round your workplace.

In a blog the reader and writer are in close proximity. This proximity is effected either by the writer's style allowing the reader to know the writer personally or the direct interaction between reader and writer.

You could pick 20 of the 100 and still see 99% of the interesting stories. To really dig down and see something breaking and interesting, you need the 101-200 blogs, not the top 100. If you want to see new worlds, you have to sail off the edge of the known world. The aggregators are useful, but their content has been pasteurized and homgenized to an extent that they don't really satisfy. They're the vitamin you take to make sure you're not missing out.

Probably coincidence but there are a lot better looking logos to have as the first thing to show up than Techmeme, so it stands out. And that many stories (3? 4?) on a single new feature of Techmeme is a bit much for my taste.

I just don't know if having comments is enough to justify being called a "blog" in my mind. Once the suits and such get involved and a bit of that soul dies... It's like, are you just reporting facts or are you trying to inspire your readers? I dunno, it's more of an emotional discussion then a logical one for sure, something I don't usually care to argue.

It's more that a "group of editors" and "copy writers" do not a blog make. The "Blog as Business" isn't really a valid Blog, because by necessity you are limited your expression. Either it's to your editor or to your advertisers. You can have a "website with comments" and that's fine, but in my mind (and I think in Scoble's) that's not a true "blog". A blog is a labor of love, not cash. I don’t think a group of bloggers consolidating their posts is what Scoble was talking about.
