Lucas Gonze has an excellent roundup of a bunch of opnions regarding the hottest religion around “the lower case semantic web”.
It’s not that I’m skeptical about all these new tags and what not (in fact we’re probably gonna support ALL of them enthusiastically) it’s just that I’m a grizzly old wisened software guy who recognizes [...]

Peter Caputa asks: “Is this an open source Evite” and suggests that his service WhizSpark might be perfect to tie into such a beast (as I was explaining - reearch we did in 2001.)

Esther posted a photo from the first EVDB board meeting. I love the fact that Esther is using media now.

One of my clients has seen a passing of the mantle of leadership.
Jan Gullet is now the CEO of Tribe.net.

Here’s the details.
Tribe has a new version coming out - that rocks.

What’s amazing is to watch Macromedia and their private blogging corps try to spin this one.
What software company raises it prices nowadays? says David Temkin.
Here’s my theory:
- Macromedia has found a hit in Breeze. They now have an enterprise sales force out there doing onesies and twosies.

Here’s Arnaud’s reply to my comments….
