Ross Mayfield blogs Mark Fletcher’s first presentation post-Bloglines’ acquisition by Ask Jeeves. The talk was at the Media Center Emerging Tech conference in Palo Alto I attended yesterday (and will join up with later today, as well).
Another interesting tidbit: Fletcher said Bloglines is working to build out social networking features that would allow users to share their subscriptions, clipblogs, etc. (not sure of specifics here and of course left my notebook at home). You’ll be able to share only with a certain network of people, rather than the public at large (you can now do some of this with a Bloglines public profile). He also said it wasn’t antithetical to Bloglines’ business model to share data (in the aggregate) about subscriptions, views, etc. (This last was in answer to a question by Seth Goldstein, who I haven’t seen since back in the day but was glad to chat with briefly yesterday.)
