Mentioned this week but datelined 31 May and archived 30 May is Meet Joe Blogs with the teaser The “blogosphere” is exploding, with millions of blogs…

I just found out that Corey Rudl, Internet marketing pioneer and genius, died in a speedway track accident on Thursday US time. Corey was only 34 years old and I’m told recently married.
