in TiddlyWeb for the Impatient on Peer Pressure
Useful notes.
I made some notes for installing easy_install, a prerequisite for these steps.

in Invert the Web on Peer Pressure
Very interesting. It would be nice to see a TiddlyWeb-driven proof-of-concept of this universe. It would be nice to see a proof of concept based on TiddlyWeb and OAuth.

@Cameron Thanks for the AjaxPatterns link.
@Rey Right on. JQuery is a fine product and a contender for the "best" all-round Ajax framework right now. In particular, the team has done a great job with documentation (http://jquery.com/), which I value a lot in a web application. I frequently use this third-party API browser for JQuery - http://jquery.bassistance.de/api-browser/.
Another website perfect for a Mashable list is Colourlovers http://www.colourlovers.com/. Social networking for colour lovers everywhere.

This is odd regulation, and maybe a bit embarassing for the EU if it goes ahead. Doesn't look good when combined with the recent Google decisions in Belgium (the kind of thing that I thought was resolved in 1998) and the confusing European search engine initiative (Quaero).
"The reasoning is pretty simple: the Brits think that forcing video-sharing sites to seek licensing would prevent UK entrepreneurs from building the next YouTube or MySpace."
Yes, and the benefits are broader than just building video sites or even dotcoms. All the Gootube press has been about replacing TV, but the online video trend will have a far broader impact on society and the economy. Right now, it's hard to see that because the stereotype is a geek watching videos on his desktop monitor or squinting at a video ipod. Soon, though, it will be easy enough to watch it on a normal TV (Apple ITV, Nintendo Flash-enabled browser) and probably other dedicated wifi monitors that will come out, as well as improved wifi portable players.
For example, imagine the impact on research when a lab can immediately distribute video of an experiment to other researchers around the world. Also, the political implications of projects like webcameron, which currently seem like gimmicks to many. And then there's the Jon Udell lawnmower example - the vast majority of products or services, quite outside of IT, can benefit from instructional video, which is far more accessible than a boring old manual. A lawnmower company can show people how to use the lawnmower, troubleshoot it etc, a bank can show people how to use their website, an open-source project can show people how to get started (the legendary screencast by DHH is one reason Rails really took off). There's probably lots of other applications people haven't even considered yet.
Point being, many many sectors of society will gain from this (sorry but it truly is a) revolution, not just a couple of silicon valley boys closing out their mortgage, which is mostly how the gootube story has played out in the mainstream media.
Content regulation must be based on blacklisting in this day and age - after all, that's worked fine overall for the web over more than a decade. Forcing every publisher to sign up to a whitelist would be a major step backwards at a time when everyone else is charging forward. Classic under-utilisation of available resources.
FWIW I personally couldn't care if people call me (as a blogger) "amateur", "professional", or "the weather". Anyone who lumps all bloggers together is on the wrong train - it's not 2002 and blogging is just a tool people on the net use for whatever purpose. It would be like saying web users are geeks or mobile phone users are yuppies, which made for some fine humour in 1995, but a bit beside the point 5 years later.

"Stew" or "Casserole" are also gloopy but maybe less tripe? eg DataStew.
