POPSA bad three months for Obama Though it seems likely that he'll get the nomination, democrats can not feel very good that he has lost handily to Clinton over the past 3 months.

POPSDr blogs own malpractice trial, loses Pediatrician Robert Lindeman started an anonymous blog, "drfleablog", where he talked about pediatrics issues. He was sued for failing to diagnose diabetes in a little boy who eventually died from it. In his blog, he would talk about the malpractice suit and make fun of the plaintiffs and the jury. Since he knew that malpractice cases hinge on what juries think of the doctor's moral character, the revelation that he was the author of the blog meant that his asshole nature would be exposed to the jury and his case would be sunk.

POPSChina backs down over blog ID proposal
Chinese bloggers will not have to register their real names online, after the government backed down over plans to enforce the proposals. With more and more stories surfacing regularly about web censorship, China's estimated 20 million bloggers will be pleased with the news that they will not be compelled to register their real names.

POPSI'm out of blog retirement Being that i spend 25 hours each day on clipmarks.com, this is where the focus of my clipping will be. But it will be interesting to see how it feels to also spread my clips and perspective outside the clipiverse and into the clip-to-blogosphere :)

POPSBlog focussed on cutting oil imports!! Of all the things we could do in this world to fight terrorism, help the environment, create jobs, lower oil prices, boost the economy, open a world of amazing possibilities...devoting our resources to creating alternative sources of energy should be our number one priority. I believe it should be a national (and global) mission that takes on greater focus and passion than when we committed to putting people on the moon. There is no question we can do it. There is no question people want it. There is a major question about why we're not doing it!

POPSWhat's the point of social studies? A student's perspective... very interesting point of view from a student (not sure what grade he's in). i just recently started reading Kazu's blog (http://kazublog14.blogspot.com/ ), but i really enjoy the honesty and subject matter. an honest perspective from a student growing up in california. props to the web for making it possible to be exposed to this.

POPSFred Wilson complements David Beisel I agree with Fred. David's post are insightful, objective and seem to have no agenda other than to convey who he is and what he thinks. An excellent vc blog for those of you interested.

POPSGoogle spam blog search Apparently Google's blog search results include a lot of spam blogs. 2 things to point out here. Google blog search needs work (haven't tried it yet as i'm happy with IceRocket and Feedster) and people who create spam blogs suck!

POPSIce Rocket's method of tracking blog popularity perhaps a metric that would prove valuable here is how many people have created clipmarks from a blog. Or, to go one better, factor in how many other people add Clipmarks from specific blogs to their Clipmark Favorites list. Mark?
