More progress on The Community Engine

Just thought I'd drop a quick note about progress with The Community Engine. We have a few exciting developments over the next few weeks:

• We will be getting out a white paper on the BIT320 Blogosphere. That should be quite an effort, with lots of PR.
• We may very well get a podcast going on the site. Podcasts are just a new way of distributing MP3 files using xml syndication. The main point being that you can subscribe to the podcast and have it delivered to you. A very nascent technology, but potentially big.
• The full web site should be complete sometime next week. The trick will be getting it paired down appropriately, so that it gets completed.
• The Community Engine should soon start work with Menlo. More on this one later.
