Raju Bitter on the PeopleAggregator
Please read this excellent post by Raju Bitter (of Berlin and the German version of StructuredBlogging fame) on our strategy, my history and what its all about.
Thanks Raju.
Couple of details corrections:
- it was called MusicWorks - not SoundWorks
- don’t forget that we also put out Maze Wars+ and GraphicsWorks/ComicWorks!
- I’m sorry the white paper on the ‘new paradigm of tools’ is down, we need to get it back up!
- Besides joining a group, one should be able to CREATE a group as well
- one concept that Dan Farber cut me off on (in our podcast together) - is that there are three levels to this Identity Hub game:
>>>> the authentication layer
>>>> Import/Export
>>>>The vocabulary you mention in your post (create relationship, send message, create/join a group, post content)
- unless its not evident, the publishing portion of PeopleAggregator IS the StructuredBlogging code!
- Don Hopkins will be building our OpenLaszlo tool interface
- its not JUST broadband that is changing everything. Its also the values of Web 2.0/the Live Web, all these web services with open APIs are now available, the new business models are coming into practice and the fact that we’ve all learned a few lessons since the implosion
But besides that - its a fantastic post!
Thanks Raju!
Thanks Marc. This feedback is very valuable for me. It’s so good to see that there are people like you not forgetting what’s important in life: family, friends, the people we are working with every day. Reducing us to our role as a consumer is a thing which is happening way too often. Your concepts and ideas as well as the work of the whole BBM team and the StructuredBlogging community look so promising and positive.
You don’t join the choir of people complaining about the problems we are facing with all the global companies who don’t understand that you can not work against the people you are doing business with. You and your team try do change things to the better.
Until I started programming OpenLaszlo I didn’t understand what a great step ahead the development of tools like VideoWorks/Director and the resulting development of Flash were. Actually I didn’t like those Flash animations and what people at the end of the 90’s started doing with Flash. And I didn’t like Macromedia that much. Listening to your podcasts, reading the texts you have written I slowly realized what a visionary you were and how far ahead of everyone else you were back there in the 80’s. It’s sad to see how little is left of that vision in the products of Adobe/Macromedia today. Yes, “professional management” has the power to ruin about everything (concerning creativity and visions) they get in there hands.
Besides that: I’ve to thank you for sharing so much of your knowledge and experience with the community and me. People pay lot’s of money to learn things a lot less valuable than the things you are telling us for free.

No, Pete, sorry. Wouldn’t do such a thing. I just love the idea of being able to keep my data with me. Any company providing such technology and giving part of the source code back to open source projects will get my support (at least if they are good at what they are doing). So I try to support the incredible OpenLaszlo team by building up an OpenLaszlo community in Germany and telling as many people as possible about that technology. And I’m really into the StructuredBlogging project. I didn’t have any idea who Marc Canter was before I accidently saw his posting in the OpenLaszlo mailing list.
I got interested because he mentioned going to South Korea to meet the people from Cyworld. I’ve many Korean friends and studied in Korea for a year. So I started to look around who this guy, Marc Canter, is. Well, beeing an OpenLaszlo fan I was surprised to see that the founder of Macromedia is a strong supporter of OpenLaszlo technology. I really like his ideas of small networks of developers working around the world in a creative team to come up with new concepts and solutions. I share his dislike of the big companies trying to bind us to their services by keeping our data in a closed wall system. And his approach of trying to get around the technical lock-in by starting a project with PubSub to form a superset of standards and APIs to support these standards sounds good, doesn’t it? If you think so look at the StructuredBlogging project.
I learned a lot from Marc’s ideas and concepts and I’m thankful for that. Empowering people to create their own network and groups with one click is powerful. Being able to blog different kinds of blog posts (reviews, events, podcasts, multimedia) without much efforts (technical knowledge, HTML coding, etc.) will be a new way of publishing in blogs, too. Esspecially when you consider that search engines can read out the information in a structured way (from the HTML code and within feeds). But I most like the approach of thinking: We are building tools to empower people to express their creativity. And for that too happen the interface has to be good, simple and fun to use. That’s smart!
