WordPress, DreamHost, and Mike Davidson

It's quite a blast to find someone who is investigating our part of the world, and who has the fortitude to blog about it. For me this morning, that guy is an ex-disney/espn vet named Mike Davidson. He's touting his own "bottom up" news system, but also pointing towards some very valuable resources (in addition to a neat "live" graphic on his home page ... maybe it's because it happened to be a sunny day in Seattle when I first saw it, but it looks great!).

For open source blogging software, he recommends WordPress

For web hosting services (with lots of space and built in support streaming video), there is DreamHost, brought out by some graduates of Harvey Mudd College.

And finally, for quickly accessing the world of blog, is BlogLines (the link is to Mike's public blog list, but most people make up their own).

The underpinnings for all this is a migration to "Web2.0". One consulting business in this area is Business Logs and their site provides one rationale for what this all means.
