Here are some things which I have been following in the last week:

• Bob DuCharme on the RDFS (RDF Schema) - Useful in theory, Bob summarizes RDFS and considers its more practical implications and application.
• W3C specification for EML (Emotion Markup) 1.0 - Silly, but that's the point I think. Mood is important though, and I keep coming back to this specification.
  
• Dynamic Planning for COIN in Afghanistan - via MCM at 1889.ca, who I believe uses systemic maps like this using grep and search and replace to build novel outlines.
  
• Google Launch of Living Stories - News thing (from SearchEngineLand @DannySullivan)
• EBooks and Backlists - past and future collide - (from Paul Witcover at Inferior 4+1 LJ) - When does an electronic publication go out of print?
• Google Enables Realtime Spam - Great analysis of the frightening implications of Google's move to open up to Twitter content (OutspokenMedia). Seriously, people were using 'blogs to googlebomb, how could microblogging not be more dangerous?
