We've added email subscription functionality for those of you too lazy... ahem... too *something* to use a newsreader. You can subscribe via the box on the right side of the blog. Just put in your address and click the button. You'll start getting daily digests (they'll only come on days with posts).
I was on the fence about doing this -- after all, part of the beauty of the blog is we *don't* have to use email. BUT -- the reality is that many people still don't use newsreaders and after all a blog is more than just a pretty email replacement (the semantic web, structured content, blah-de-blah-blah).
I think this will make it easier for us to get readers who are interested in what we have to say but have not necessarily integrated newsreaders or aggregators into their online arsenal. Next step - get those people to convert!
Remember Ben Brown? He spoke at the McCombs Web 2.0 Panel about his hipster dating site, consumating... Well consumating just got acquired by C|Net! Alex Muse has more info here:

This is a great example of a low-capital, long-tail web 2.0 start-up doing well by focusing on community, serving a specific set of customers and just being creative and having fun!
Looks like Tommy Perkins - MBA '05 - got himself a gig blogging on Weblogs, Inc.
