—
Facebook has raised $500 million in new "venture capital" at a $50 billion valuation, according to a report late last night from DealBook.

Rebooting RSS, revisited

In September of last year I wrote a series of pieces about rebooting RSS. I think it's inevitable, given the popularity of Twitter, and the new use of the net to distribute leaks about governments, that the service offered by Twitter will be unbundled.
