The next task on my list after installing the new version of MovableType this evening would have been setting up categorised feeds so I can participate in Planet Apache. Thankfully, Thom has saved me from that with his timely attitude adjustment.
I must admit the idea of the social side of Apache being exposed is quite amusing. It'll be interesting to see if people start to self-censor their weblogs as a result.
The other thing about the sudden surge in the number of Planet (aggregating people with a common interest) blogs is that this must really screw up Google, in a way that individual blogs could only dream about. The sheer concentration of links (oh, let's call it "the gravity"!) both within the Planets, and from those linking to the Planets is phenomenal. Pagerank is dead, long live Pagerank.
By the way Thom, your comments link doesn't work on your weblog...
