Some interesting articles linked from the Y Combinator resources page:

I've only started reading these but they're an interesting crop. And Y Combinator is an interesting group; I wonder how many applications they got for their summer founders program.

Frassle in Release 1.0

Yesterday I received my sample copy of Esther Dyson's Release 1.0 Newsletter. This issue is about tagging and folksonomies, and was written by David Weinberger; he interviewed me and produced a few paragraphs about frassle in the context of a 20-page survey of organizational systems through time, from trees through tags.

David has kindly shared some of the text on his website. If you're made of money you can buy the issue or a (gulp) subscription, but who am I kidding: why don't you just ask me or Josh if you can borrow our complimentary issue.

This is what I did my undergraduate thesis (2003) on, and now it's showing up in trade publications. I don't think the author, Ramnivas Laddad, knew about my thesis, but perhaps he'd be interested in its large catalog of aspect-oriented refactorings.
