Pingback from Poitiers, and congrats to Dave Winer

Davocrates: Statue of Socrates with Dave Winer's head on top. Some of you have pinged me–I’m sorry for the sparse postings–our hotel in Poitiers has “internet access” only if you climb behind the checkin desk and use their own computer, via their phone line.

Also, our kind conference hosts have distracted us with some truly amazing sightseeing–from Romanesque churches in Poitiers to complete wrap-around IMAX (under your feet too!) at Futuroscope! More when I get home, which should be late tomorrow.

I did get to notice some big news in the blogworld, though…

Sometimes a BigCo has the resources it takes to cope with a big and increasing problem. So I’m glad for all of us that VeriSign has bought the weblogs.com ping server from Dave Winer!

And I’m glad for the chance to repost my Davocrates graphic from Bloggercon I.

Bonus funny link: Amateur Amazon reviewers have posted some funny, geeky
ping in-jokes among the reviews of a kid’s book about Ping the duck.
