10 things you should know about wordpress 2.1, which should be released later today. the feature I’m mostly looking forward to? AJAX-ified auto-saving of post-drafts (good bye lost posts due to browser-crashes).
Wikipedia - in an attempt to fight spam - adding the nofollow-attribute to all external links has been the major topic of today. Google Blogoscoped introduced (me to) an interesting strategy handling the attribute, which seems way more reasonable: as done before, external links within user-generated comment (comments, wiki-pages…) are initially set to nofollow. however, the attribute is automatically removed after a few days, assuming that the link, since it hasn’t been removed by the moderator (or, in case of Wikipedia, the editing community) is valid and therefor accountable for page-ranking. sounds smart to me…
