From Professor Bainbridge dot com (a UCLA law professor, and also an open-minded and Bush43-critic conservative for whom I have the deepest respect):
#1. FEED READERS. I renew my advice: read your site feeds with a Web-based feed reader as opposed to a PC-based feed reader. Let another machine (other than your PC) deal with the downloading and organizing of the site feeds. Plus, you can access it from anywhere on the Earth (your office, your home, your hotel, or your conference room). As for the best Web-based feed reader, it’s Google Reader. (For more information, here’s a detailed comparison between Google Reader, BlogLines and Internet Explorer 7.)
#2. BLOGGING PROFESSORS. Professor Steve Bainbridge explains how and why he publishes some class materials on his blogs.
#3. FREE NEWS SITES vs. SUBSCRIPTION NEWS SITES. The Wall Street Journal earned more money with its online website than its print publication. (Related: Jakob Nielsen on micro-payments.)
