I was delighted ot see at the recent “Northern Voice” blogging conference that over 80% of the people - had more than one blog. This confirmed all my instincts that we’re entering into an age of ‘multiple blogs’ - where folks maintain 2, 3 even 4 blogs.
They don’t want to give up their original […]

My lightest blogging 1/4 - it’s been a hell of a three months.
We finally got ourmedia.org out. We’re up to 8,381 signed up members in a little over one week. That’s about 1k people a day. Not bad for running on a Drupal single processor machine with almost no infrastructure behind it.
We’ve found […]

OK - so here’s another scripting dev language called Xamlon that’s designed for RIAs (rich internet apps.)

How can I on one hand “compare them to Atom/Shockwave” and then declare them the winners?
Well remember - it’s Accel Partners money - and boy do they have a lot of money to spend - […]

OK - from my own experiences and POV I can say this:
- Media RSS is the leadership we need in media, subscribing and the web. That’s what podcasting needs. We’re gonna support it in ourmedia.org and we hope others will too.
- Russell Beattie has been helping out in an organization now called Mobile […]
