Here is a food lover's delight - an ultra-comprehensive list of food blogs :). I'll need a parallel universe self to go through this list; in this universe, I'll get back to work :P. Thanks the_incomplete_man - you rock as usual.

And, in case I didn't mention it, Shantaram is among the most awesome books I have ever read. Different things about books appeal to different people; everything about Shantaram appeals to me. I can't wait for Johnny Depp to make the movie.

Tags in Blogs are definitely useful as they are an intuitive way of organizing entries. They can be looked upon as labels associated with documents. LJ has relatively recently introduced tags. Drupal, wordpress etc. have had them around for longer.

I am on this long term search for the holy grail blog aggregator. So, while Tejaswi finishes his project :

- Blog entries of various people with tags, can be crawled (or picked off feeds).
- Something like Cross-training can be applied to discover and explore mappings between these tags.
- Grouping of blog entries by type (closely related tags) rather than person can then follow.
- 'Closely related' can be interactively defined to arbitrary levels of complexity or simple heuristics and groupings.
- Other possible applications here too.

I'd like comments on this. If something like this exists, please let me know too.

Some random hyper-linking got me to Yazad's site after a long time, from where I followed more links to one Ravi Kiran's site who is organizing the next (tomorrow's) Bombay Bloggers Meet. I wanted to make it there this time, after a false positive a couple of months ago. However, the comment spam filter of wordpress apparently thinks I am a spammer, ostensibly because I am behind a proxy. Is that wrong or what? My laziness is going to make me depend on the spam guard's report which said the site owner will be mailed the contents of my comment.

While on blogging: I am quite liking Bloglines and have been regularly growing my blogroll now. The search for the real commenting-enabled blog aggregator goes on.
