Steve Rubel Twittered last night saying: Checking out blognation. Like it but wish I could subscribe to individual bloggers. http://us.blognation.com/ He raises a great point. It can be annoying on multi-author blogs to have to read everything when you're only...

Yahoo's getting crushed by Google in search right now, but maybe they're on to something with the interface they're testing over at livesearch.alltheweb.com. The site offers real-time updates to search results as you type, so searches become more relevant as...
