Blogs, social networks and personalized search are all making headlines this week. All this fancy pants social media and uppity blog talk gets me cranky. I remember a time when you didn’t have to worry about RSS food and XML whatsits and tag storms, or whatever. You just built a static website with a crap interface and impossible navigation, launched it to the web and never touched it again because the IT guy who quit was the only one with the FTP password. Ah, the good ole days.
