ResumeWiki is a great idea, the project flows from Jeremy Wright of Ensight, which let you post your own resume on the community wiki and let other people give you comments or edit on it.
ResumeWiki is a community edited resume centre. You post your profile (goals, etc) and resume the community of peers will give you comments and possible edits. It is about harnessing the power of lots of eyes to help you get your job. It is kind of like Open Source’ing your resume. Less bugs, more potential, less work for the individual (you).
So far, I saw at least 10 resumes had uploaded to the wiki; each of them got comment from other people. You could track the change log to see detail modification on your resume, find out who gives you a comment. Imagine this like a collective intelligence from other people's experience to help you polish your resume; ultimately you may have a best resume for job apply.
Along with the wiki, there also include some great tips on resume writing, job search and other employment resources. Maybe you will see some job posting later. This is really excited wiki experiment on Job search area.

A Italian journalist had discovered a new google Desktop search vulnerability. The flaw allows attackers to target users of the Google Desktop application and modify the contents of search pages by injecting scripts located on external servers. reported by Netcraft
Last week, Netcraft reported the first Google desktop expolit:
A British computer scientist has demonstrated that opportunities exist for fraudsters to launch phishing attacks using cross site scripting bugs on the very widely used Google sites.Using these conduits, fraudsters would be able to inject their own content onto the site in order to collect credit card details and other sensitive information.
This vulnerability was closed within two days of being reported to Google.

There are some existing methods to integrate del.icio.us links with Movable Type Blog. Like use a third-party RSS feed tool to pull up a link list by insert a javascript to MT template or use a perl script to grab del.icio.us feed to a blog. I'd prefer Jeff Veen's way to automatically create a daily post from del.icio.us, this one need some coding works and may not fit for all hosting service. Joshua (who is inventor of del.icio.us) had released a small tool, it makes thing really simple to post a daily entry to MT through del.icio.us API. All you have to do is follow these simple instruction below:
First go to: http://del.icio.us/settings/$USERNAME/daily Change $USERNAME to your del.icio.us username. then add a new thingy, follow the description:
job_name is a name for the posting thingy
out_name is the login name for the site
out_pass is the password for the site
out_url is the xmlrpc url, probably like mt-xmlrpc.cgi
out_time is the GMT hour to post on, 0-23.
out_blog_id is the blog id #
out_cat_id is the optional category id #
That's it, del.icio.us will post daily link to your MT blog, and this tool works with blogger.com API too.

Just after I did my last post, I saw there is another article about Mary Meeker and The China Internet Report on Newsweek via Xiao's post on China digital News.
Meeker glossed over key issues like timing and Beijing politics, leaving a sense that she is more of an expert on the Internet than on China. That impression jumps out on page one of her own report, which cites warnings from two other Morgan Stanley
On Andrea's latest blog post:
Latest Talks On the Internet in China, Richard (who is the author of
The Pekingduck) made a insightful comment on that:
Mary Meeker was once known as "Queen of the Internet" during the dot-com boom and she was largely resposible for the huge and ridiculous forecasts for Internet stocks -- she was predicting, along with Henry Blodgett, outrageous prices for dot-coms like Amazon and Priceline, and she lost most (all?) of her credibility. Take what she says about the Internet with a HUGE grain of sea salt!

On Web 2.0 conference, Mary Meeker had 11 minutes talk about internet in China:
...that in 1850, China was 33% of the world's GDP. Today they are only back up to 4% but they are the fastest growing. 59 million Chinese Internet users 24 million Chinese broadband subscribers 15 million online gamers The economic picture is enormously different in China -- GDP per capita -- $619 China $37,000 for US [Quote via tedshelton]
Also see Jeremy's section notes:
Tons of data pointing at Internet services already big and growing in China. Interestingly, most are US companies (Yahoo, eBay, Google). 70% of Chinese users are younger than 30 years old. Wireless messaging is already big there--207 million phones. 200 billion messages in 2003. China needs help in eCommerce for many reasons. And China doesn't breed many great Internet companies yet. But there are folks there now who get it. Labor surplus in China. Mary thinks it's like the mid-1990s in the US was. This stuff will make life better in China ultimately.
Jason's blog had record mary's talk to a mp3 file. According to People's daily online article on August 2004, China's Internet users exceed 87 million. In the early time this year Morgan Stanley had released a China internet report which collect whole bunch of data analysis。I think some of Mary’s data comes from that report. On the other hand, according to our unofficial Chinese blogger counter, the existing blogger in China had exceed half million. Base on internal data from Blogdriver.com (one of most popular blog service in China), by the end of this month, the user of the service had exceed 100 thousand, and host more than 80 thousand individual blogs (some are multi-author blogs)..

Six Apart, the maker of MovableType and Typepad get a series B funding from August Capital. Via [Om Mailk]
The amount of money raised is still under a shroud, though I am told it could be well over $5 million, a modest investment when compared to Silicon Valley's free spending ways of the past.
