Kevin: ProgrammableWeb updates its list of mashups. Note how many use Google APIs.

Kevin: "gReactions is a cool comment aggregation add-on for Firefox that integrates blog comments into Google reader. It gathers comments from all over the web and displays below each post directly in your Google Reader"

Kevin: "CMSWire and Water and Stone are conducting a survey of open source CMS users and implementers for an upcoming report on Open Source CMS Market Share." I'll be very interested to see the results.

Kevin: I couldn't agree more with Zach Seward at Nieman Journalism Lab. "Traffic and page views are nice, but engaged readers and loyal audiences are more important." And he hghlights a brilliant tool called Tracer that can enable "tracking of copied text and any referral traffic it may produce". That's very interesting. Tracer can also allow publishers to see what parts of a page has been copied.

Kevin: Ian Shapira of the Washington Post writes: "After all the reporting, it took me about a day to write the 1,500-word piece. How long did it take Gawker to rewrite and republish it, cherry-pick the funniest quotes, sell ads against it and ultimately reap 9,500 (and counting) page views?" It's an interesting article and worth reading.

Kevin: Stowe Boyd weighs in on the discussion of the weekend, Ian Shapira of the Washington Post writing about how Gawker and how the "wild world" of the internet is killing journalism. Stowe says that most of the hand-wringing in traditional media "is completely off point".

" The real story is not about what is spent to write the stories, or how much ad revenue is derived by who. The really interesting economic shift is the millions of comments and twitterers and blog posts that are dealing with this controversy today, where no one is getting paid, or making money on ads, or getting a quarterly 401(k) statement."
