Politics versus Technology

Friday, December 31st, 2004

This is my last post of the year.
It was painfully obvious during the recording of today’s Gillmor gang that creating a meta-identity standard will be 2% technology and 98% politics.
It’s already 2005 around most of the world by the time I post this - so but as usual (as Steve Gillmor says) “I get the […]

Personal Presense Portals

Friday, December 31st, 2004

Ton Zylstra’s got a coolio rap on the future of blogging and what he called Personal Presense Portals. Which kind of brings up Attention.xml and MeNow - but I won’t go there - now.
I met Ton in Amsterdam - I just love his faceroll on his page.
Needless to say - he’s my kind of […]

I guess everything Marqui does is NOT OK

Robin Good tears them (or at least the folks who issued the SEO white paper) a new one…..
And Eric Rice agrees…..

Tee Hee Hee - and we’re not firing them for saying so……

One small step for ourmedia, one giant leap for built-in content

Friday, December 31st, 2004

JD Lasica has announced that a start page is now available - as evidence that ourmedia.org does exist.
It’s been a long hard road we’ve been tolling and our thanks go out to Boris Mann and Bryght - for helping us get there.
We aren’t live yet - but we’re working on it.
Here’s JD’s post…

I just posted […]

Nokia 6630

Friday, December 31st, 2004

On Malik likes his. I wonder if I can trade out my 7610 for a 6630? Charlie?
Here’s Om’s post….

It is hard for me to imagine that I am carrying around in my pocket a computer that is as powerful as my first generation Pentium powered AST desktop, I wrestled with back in 1995, typing […]

OpenEvents it is

Friday, December 31st, 2004

I’m delighted to see Scott McMullen use the term Peter Caputa and I came up with - for some sort of open standard for events. As new kinds of micro-content emerge, separate domains are evolving centered around entrepreneurs who live, breath and sleep with these new kinds of micro-content.
Scott McMullen appears to be one […]

Yahoocalifragilisticexpialidocious

Friday, December 31st, 2004

Adam Rifkin is at it again - riffing and Rifkining and polluting the otherwise pure universe of Google.
Up until Adam’s post - clearly Googlecalifragilisticexpialidocious was the leading candidate for world domination.
Ho Ho Ho and a Happy New Year.

The best thing about identities - is that there are so many of them

Friday, December 31st, 2004

We used to use that line when we referred to standards.
Wishing that the world would coalesce around a single standard:
a) ignores the fact that there is Microsoft. So choose your category wisely and stay under the radar, as Microsoft - no matter what - will come up with their own thing. In the […]

How we geek out in SF

Friday, December 31st, 2004

Rebecca Eisenberg (and her husband Curtis) are starting to get out again. But it’s not like Cyborganic days - no - nowadays we use blogs to promote our parties. And please notice Pierre’s hat. And Kaliya’s smile.

Here are three of my favorite peeps: Steve Gillmor, Dan Farber and the legendary A-List […]
