"I am sitting in a room different from the one you are in now. I am recording the sound of my speaking voice and I am going to play it back into the room again and again until the resonant frequencies of the room reinforce themselves [...]" -- Alvin Lucier, "I am sitting in a room".

Dave Winer: "The Long Tail metaphor helps old media people feel like they're still in charge. So does the idea of Citizen Media, because old media people are cynics about citizens, they think we're lazy couch potatoes who have never had a good idea or a noble thought, they're the smart people living the interesting lives. [...] Nice story, but that's not what's going on."

Antville is the first, third and 10th choice when it comes to the best weblog hosting provider of the world of Germany - as judged by some people I never heard of except Don Dahlmann who says a thing or two there as well.

Moreover, it's also believed to be the most difficult weblog software, evah:

"blogger.de setzt auf die vielleicht technisch beste, aber auch komplizierteste Software, die zu haben ist: antville. Zwar kann der Blogger sein neu angelegtes Blog mit wenigen Klicks füllen, doch Änderungen am Layout setzen schon technisches Geschick voraus. Ein neues Bild über das eigene Blog zu setzen, kann für einen Laien schon eine komplizierte Aufgabe sein. Will man gar ein Bild in den Hintergrund legen oder eine Linkliste anlegen, wird es richtig kompliziert. twoday.net nutzt im Prinzip zwar die gleiche Software, hat sie aber in Eigenregie weiterentwickelt und deutlich verbessert, so dass sie heute deutlich leichter zu bedienen ist."

yadda yadda yadda and big congrats!
