So check this out. I bet many of you did not know that there is a new AIM. It links to AOL.com and it’s many properties and that they now use a web page as the ‘Home’ page. This is significant if you’re AOL.
It represents a shift away from the walled garden world. [...]

So I was supposed to be in London the week of the summer bombings but…
Now I get word of bombings in New Delhi (we’re going back in January.)
One of these days - it’s gonna hit SF. I can just feel it.
This global thing is a two way sword. Sure we get lots of new [...]

Well here I go again - week behind on my blogging, so here’s a shitload of links to play catch-up. We really oughta type these compendium posts - something like “Lotta O Links”:
First off - my loyal, trusted follower Arnaud Leene has changed his web site - and he’s tracking everything that matters - [...]

OK - so that last post was pretty incoherent. People rely upon me to explain to them what’s going on. I’m their ‘Silicon Valley insider reporter’ on all things microcontent, DLA and coolio-icious.

Here’s a video of Matt Mullenweg explaining Wordpress, me giving my rap and even a bit with Don Hopkins - the guy who creates plug-ins for the Sims. Don is a 20 year friend.
Not 20 year old, but I’ve known him for 20 years. The [...]

Dam!
I guess I don’t make it onto Jason Shellen’s list. And I guess Adam Bosworth doesn’t consider me important enough to get back to me and followup from our meetings on microcontent from six months ago.
Oh well - cause it sure is nice to see Google swallow the red pill so hard. [...]

Here’s Dave Winer spreading the OPML word to Matt, Tony, Eleanor and Josh at the TechCrunch scene last night.

Dave discussed the difference between what he called ‘time based’ subscribed to content, versus data which more or less doesn’t change very often - like the Planets.
Suscribed to stuff is all about RSS, while static [...]

Check it out - the four part article is now one giant article.
Something for the blogroll.
Something to be referring to for a long time. I spent a long time writing this article. Its where we were circa summer of 2005.
My apologies to anyone I missed.
If you think you should have been [...]
