The Disruptive Web

The Disruptive Web: Jon Udell has an article in InfoWorld about the "disruptive" power of weblogs. The author conducted an experiment, combining the aggregated reading habits of the blog community collected by All Consuming with bookmarklets and an RSS feed, and searched for the availability of blog-popular books at local libraries. "By the end of the day, the technique was verified to work with many libraries in the United States. What's more, it had mutated. Reports came in from around the world about adaptations that worked with library systems from other vendors." Link via post atomic.
