Close, probably.
Am I the last pointer to Web 2.0 song, Are You Blogging This?
Food for rethought
Getting a demo of TiddlyWiki by Jeremy Ruston, its creator and alpha developer. Billed as a reusable non-linear personal web notebook, it seems to share characteristics with blogging and outlining (links can expand in a way similar to the way subheads have done in outliners ever since ThinkTank), in a very nice read-write-Web way that also allows you easily to save copies as simple local HTML files. (Put it on a USB thumbdrive and get "wiki on a stick", Jeremy says.)
It has "permaviews" as well as permalinks. Neat.
Here's one plugin site.
Here's another. And another. (By Charlie Stross.) And another.
More here (where I found some the above links).
Great one-liners from Jeremy in the midst: We don't have many weapons to use against really ineffectual people... It's reasonable to talk about software as being alive.... It's symbiotic... It needs a host geek in which to live...The value in software is as much in its potential as in its functionality...
[Later...] Here are Jeremy's notes (with a big link pile) for his talk.
