Weblog Server in Tiger Server is Blojsom ★: The included weblog server in Tiger Server is Blojsom, a Java weblogging tool inspired by Blosxom. (Which is cool because there’s a Markdown plug-in for Blojsom.)
Watson Sold; Moving to Java ★: Dan Wood has sold Watson to an unnamed “large company” (apparently Sun?), and is helping them create a new version in the form of a cross-platform Java app.
Brent Simmons on Safari’s RSS Integration ★: Brent Simmons:

The RSS reader in Safari is not a full-featured newsreader, at least from what I could tell by the demo. For instance, it doesn’t appear to remember what items you’ve read or tell you how many unread items you have. And some of the other features that it does have—such as RSS searching—are coming in NetNewsWire 2.0.

So… even with Safari’s RSS reader, there is still a need for newsreaders that do more. (Much more.)
Tiger Unveiled ★: Safari RSS, Dashboard, Automator, new search technologies, new graphics technologies.
