I know this time of the year naturally holds magic and action (hey, my birthday, you know? and beautiful fall weather) but I'm truly astounded at the pace of action in the web/software area right now. NetNewsWire, the best RSS app on the Mac, was bought by NewsGator, Weblogs.com was bought by Verisign, Weblogs, Inc (engadget.com and many others) was bought by AOL, Upcoming.org was bought by Yahoo, Google releases an RSS reader, 37signals releases Writeboard, Ning is out, MovableType 3.2 is out, Gallery 2 is out, and Apple has some sort of big announcement next week... I need more time to play! Oh, and Jack finally got a G5.
