I got an email about Six Apart's Project Comet yesterday and it definitely made me smile. It's good to see more validation of the idea that personal publishing (weblogging) should evolve into personal self expression (my blog, my photos, my relationships, my media, etc). This is the same direction taken by services such as MySpace, MSN Spaces and Yahoo! 360°.
Weblogs are replacing the personal homepage and thus to reflect all the facets of one's personality, they need to be more than 'my online journal'. Most of the big vendors in this space have cottoned onto this idea slowly but surely. I wonder when the coin will drop over in the Blogger offices at Google.
