Moderator’s note: James Bridle at Book2.org will be sharing his work with the TeleBlog—as part of our efforts to aggregate and point to the best e-book-related blogging. Welcome, James! Here is an annotated link list from him.

–RSS web feeds for tags at Amazon.com – A small upgrade but a significant one – expect to see a lot more access like this. (Via TechCrunch)

–Newspaper reviews are not democratisers – Booksquare looks at shrinking review pages, and critiques the kneejerk response.

–Can you patent wisdom? – International rights get interesting: India is creating a high-tech catalogue of traditional knowledge to prevent foreign hucksters ‘pirating’ it.

–Digg Surrenders to Mob – This isn’t a publishing story, but what follows is a lesson and/or warning for all those crowd-sourcing ideas out there.

–“We hear you” – Kevin Rose, Digg founder, responds in pretty much the only way he could. He’s a good guy, though, I get the impression.

–“Fish where the fish are” – Fionnuala Duggan, Director of Random House Group Digital, urges publishers to go look for readers out on the web.
