Today is a big day for Broadband Mechanics
I’ve imagined rich media interfaces for a while now. They first came to me when I left Macromedia in 1992. I knew we needed intelligent user interfaces, compelling, easy to use experiences while also coping with the avalanche of information, stimuli and interaction that was about to be unleashed on us.
I knew one day, that I’d be building this sort of interface.
What I didn’t know was the meat behind the interface - what exactly it did. Now I do.
Back then - 2005 seemed a really long distance away - but tomorrow it’ll be official - we’re building a DLA (digital lifestyle aggregator.)
The GoingOn Network.
It’ll feature:
- a Meta-Network of hosted networks - join one or create your own!
- micro-content publishing (Blog, Events, Reviews, AudBlogging, Vlogging, Lists, People and Group Showcases….) - in both microformats and feeds.
- template based system (AlwaysOn Network, Superblogger & others)
- subscribe to a person - with access controls and filters for both subscriber and subscribee
- open standards (media, photos, microformats, lists, events, links, playlists, etc.)
- highly customizable - Gutter blocks
This is it folks - what I’ve been dreaming about - for years.

You were at Macromedia? When?

It’s official: multimedia pioneer Marc Canter leaves MacroMind
Marc Canter and MacroMindlParacomp Inc. have parted ways. Canter, who founded MacroMind in 1984 and who for many years was the most visible and vocal industry promoter of multimedia technology, has left the San Francisco-based company, effective January 1.
Canter began a six-month leave of absence from MacroMind in February, amidst rumors that he would soon leave the company. He will continue as a director and remains its largest shareholder.
Canter added that his departure was a “mutual decision” made by him and MacroMind, which this year merged with graphics software developer Paracomp, also based in San Francisco.
Industry sources, however, say Canter was dissatisfied with the change of direction MacroMind had taken, including its merger with Paracomp and its acquisition in November of sound tools — the Mac Recorder digitizer and SoundEdit software — from Farallon.
Tim Mott, MacroMindlParacomp president and CEO, said that Canter’s departure will have only a “minimal” effect on the company. “He has been absent from the company for most of the last year while on sabbatical and this will effectively and operationally be a continuation of that,” Mott said, adding that Canter will continue to work as a consultant for the company.
