OK - so yesterday I did a roundup of Controversies and Big stories. Now I’ll focus on all the coolio, external pointing posts I did last year - and tomorrow culminate with the posts which surround our products, ideas and memes.

So here are a bunch of externally focused posts form last year - that resonate:

March 06

Identity 2.0 and Sxip - at the time Sxip was the leading contender for a full range solution - giving us what we needed for ID management. Now Sxip is merging its technology into OpenID2 - so THAT’s the cat’s meow. But clearly Dick Hardt is one of the leaders in this space.

Microsoft goes Social - at the time it was big news. Now that we’ve seen what transpired last year, it all made sense. And what does 2007 have in store for us? I can’t wait!

April 06

Its the Context of buying the Content that matters - when buying content on-line, does convienience make it worth more money? I say YES!

July 06

Honesty, Courage and American politics - I get political for a moment. This was all prompted by me asking John Edwards a question at Gnomedex.

PeopleAggregator article by Richard MacManus

I get mentioned in an article by Jerry Weinstein

August 06

I do a ten post series on VOX and how it typifies the principles of DLAs

All ten posts pointed to here.

1. Dynamic aggregation channels

2. Hardwired interfaces - gotta start somewhere

3. New distribution channels - compound feed time

4. Integrated Media Galleries

5. Microcontent publishing - something is better than nothing

6. Using Ajax effectively

7. Hosted experiences = business model

8. Mobile

9. Community - how to get a bunch of folks to use your stuff

10. What makes SixApart so successful = hustling!

So you can see that VOX has much of the aspects of what a true DLA should be. The interesting thing - is that 6A is positioning it as the ‘easy’ tool in their portfolio.

And they just added Groups.

Tech Crunch party appearance - that’s me in the Orange shirt.

October 06

In Search of the Valley - I’m in it. And I do the closing credits song.

Response to Read/Write’s ‘Silver Bullet’ post - I agree, lets figure out how to do master profiles.

November 06

What’s the difference between walled gardens and cross-posting - the Universal Blog This button is born.

Sitting down on the wild side - boring techies don’t get rock and roll or Lou Reed. They must all be Republicans.

Clarifying dabble - a new kind of aggregator

AIM auth - is needed to complete our ID Hub strategy

December 06

Hey Joi and Shawn - STOP THE MADNESS! - you don’t have to build a social network from scratch anymore.

We’re in BusinessWeek - our first mention in National (legitimate) press

The History of the Silicon Valley Assholes society - true story

A wolf in wolf’s clothing - did anyone think anything ELSE of Microsoft? Ever? I used to talk about wearing a strand of Garlic around my neck.

Corporate awareness of all things anything - making your living off of hustling corps

January 07

Vlogging sustainability - Jay and Ryanne go forth

Intel inside Podtech and the genius of John Furrier - Hopefully this will get them to be a client fo ours! Gotta suck up anyway you can!

Excellent video interview of me - viele dank mein freund

OK so that’s it. Those were the posts that originated outside and where I commented on them. Later (tomorrow?) I’ll put up the grand daddy of archives - all the posts I did last year pertaining to our product, mission in life and agenda.
