Technorati and tracking the world of blogs
I really liked seeing that Technorati has developed a set of APIs for developers to begin to integrate with this site. This is also a major emergence in “Web Portals” … they are not just “human consumable” but are now becoming more and more “machine consumable”. IMHO, all of this contributes to the “soft take-off” that Vernor speaks about in his thoughts about the Singularity.
