blo.gs is for sale (via Luis)
this includes:
- the blo.gs domain name (and all subdomains)
- the weblo.gs domain name
- the database of blogs (and related databases)
- all rights to the blo.gs software*
Having that database of blogs can make life of many weblog researchers much easier… Would be nice if Technorati or Bloglines or PubSub or any other weblog-indexing site could help… Not necessary with a copy of database, but at least a set of APIs that could do something like:
- given a URL indicate if it’s a weblog or not (which is not easy)
- given a weblog URL provide it’s metadata (title, author name, language, and lots of other interesting things that may be known within the system, e.g. number of incoming links)
- generate random weblog URL
Of course, all these depends on definition of weblog one uses and lots of other things, but still…
