# Weblogs.com

Weblogs.com is a website created by UserLand Software and later maintained by Dave Winer. It launched in late 1999 as a free, registration-based web crawler monitoring weblogs, was converted into a ping-server in October 2001, and came to be used by most blog applications. Web-services like Feedster and Technorati monitor Weblogs.com for its list of the latest blog posts, generated in response to pings via XML-RPC. The site also provided free hosting to many early bloggers.

## History

In mid-June 2004, there was a short outage as services transitioned between providers. Criticism from many bloggers was intense as many users initially feared their data was lost. Dave Winer, who had originally promised to get the blogs back up and running within a two-week period, was able to restore them much faster thanks to help from Rogers Cadenhead.
According to Wired Magazine, "What was decried as the death of a blog universe when Dave Winer shut down free blog host Weblogs.com turned out to be little more than a four-day server outage surrounded by a heck of a flame war."
In October, 2005, VeriSign bought the Weblogs.com ping-server from Winer, promising that services currently free there would still be free. The podcasting-related web site audio.weblogs.com was also included in the $2.3 million deal.
In May 2009 Weblogs.com was sold to a private investor group as part of the deal that saw Moreover Technologies divested from VeriSign.

# Nijō Tamefuyu

Nijō Tamefuyu (二条為冬, ?–1335), also known as Fujiwara no Tamefuyu (藤原為冬), was a Japanese courtier and waka poet of the late Kamakura period.
He was briefly considered as a possible compiler for the Shokugoshūi Wakashū an imperial anthology of waka, but was opposed by his nephew Nijō Tamesada. Twenty of his poems were eventually included in this and later imperial anthologies, with more in private collections.
He died in 1335 fighting against the winning army of Ashikaga Takauji at the Battle of Takenoshita.

## Biography
### Ancestry and birth

Tamefuyu's year of birth is unknown. He was the youngest child of Nijō Tameyo, Tameyo himself being a son of Nijō Tameuji, a grandson of Fujiwara no Tameie, and a great-grandson of Fujiwara no Teika.

### Political career

At the height of his political career, he held the position of Middle Captain of the Left (左中将).

### Death

He died on the twelfth day of the twelfth month of Kenmu 2 (1335/1336). He had been in the army sent to hunt down and kill Ashikaga Takauji, but lost at the Battle of Takenoshita [ja] and committed suicide.

## Name

He was a member of the Nijō branch of the Fujiwara clan, so is known as both Nijō Tamefuyu and Fujiwara no Tamefuyu.

## Poetry

Tamefuyu participated in a number of formal waka poetry gatherings, including at the imperial palace, beginning around 1323, when he was present at the Kameyama-dono shichihyaku-shu (亀山殿七百首).
In the seventh month of 1324, when Nijō Tamefuji suddenly dropped out as a compiler of the Shokugoshūi Wakashū, his father Tameyo attempted to replace him with Tamefuyu, who was then probably only in his twenties, but was overruled by Nijō Tamesada.
20 of his poems are included in imperial collections from the Shokugoshūi Wakashū on. Several of his poems are also known from private collections (私撰集 shisenshū), such as the Shoku Gen'yō Wakashū (続現葉和歌集) and the Rin'ei Wakashū (臨詠和歌集). There is a work known as the Zen-sangi Tamefuyu-kyō Shū (前参議為冬卿集, literally "Former Councilor Tamefuyu Collection"), but despite its name this is actually a selection of poems taken from the Waka Dairin Gushō (和歌題林愚抄) rather than a personal anthology compiled by Tamefuyu himself.

# Place du Palais-Bourbon

The Place du Palais-Bourbon is a historic square in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, France. It is named after the Palais Bourbon, the seat of the National Assembly of the French Parliament, located just north of the square.
The land was acquired by Louis Joseph, Prince of Condé in 1769. The Prince de Condé hired architect Jean-François Leroy to design the square. Its construction, which began in 1788, was completed in 1804. In the meantime, the Prince of Condé had fled due to the French Revolution. In 1855, a statue named La Loi designed by sculptor Jean-Jacques Feuchère was installed at the centre of the square.
