Akamai has this white paper on social networking

Doc still likes the term ‘The Live Web’ - me too.

Julian Bond is pointing out (on the Identity Gang list) that you ain’t OpenID compatible unless you’re working nicely with others. Go to OpenIDenabled and find out. And this is just for authentication. wait il the attribute exchange starts rocking! THEN we’ll have challenges (not problems - just challenges.)

….and speaking of Akamai - VideoEGG - which uses Akamai - hit 3M uploads.

It’s great to hear that EMI is experimenting with Open Formats and that EMI’s Apparent Business Model: Slower Deals, More Returns. I can tell you from working wih those folks for a year - they certainly need some changes. The folks I dealt with were great people - but their bosses - well its clear all along that they were in it to just sell the company. They were doing no real ‘managing’ or planning for the future. So maybe the new guard - will.

Is Micahel Arrington the next Tim O’Reilly or does he just follow behind him - picking up all the speaking gigs - when Tim gets bored?

I got a bit up on Mark Fletcher’s new ‘Startupping’ on the best and worst decisions I’ve done as an entrepreneur.

Nick Denton doesn’t like CamelCase. We used to call it innerCap. For 10 points - who was one of the first companies to do this - back in 1984. MacroMind.

I’ll be speaking at ‘the Next Web’ in Amsterdam June 1st. I think I’ll do a birthday party the next night - June 2nd, cause afterall - the entire year is my birthday year.

NetVibes is now supporting Media RSS. I sure wish other aggregators did.

Jeremiah Owyang’s list is now 36 long - as to the # of competitors we have in the ‘white labeled social networking space’. I’d argue that Drupal, Web Crossing, Prospero and others certainly aren’t MySpace-in-a-Box solutions - but who’s arguing? Now we NEED to get ALL these folks supporting OpenID, FOAF and XFN and the new attribute exchange service of OpenID - just as soon as it’s done and stable! THEN we’ll be talking Turkey!

Steve Borsh clued me into this Jon Udell post. This is one of the problems with having so many dam feeds to read. I love Jon Udell and I remember talking with him about this problem of social network fatigue years ago at Digital ID world, but I totally missed this post. It was clear years ago that folks would burn out over all these neworks - but still want to be members. This is why we created PeopleAggregator - to level the playing field and enable anyone to have a social network. Apparently others think its a good idea for a company and product - as well.

A wonderful sequence of blog posts happened as Identity Woman Kaliya asked Kim Cameron publicly - how come the Microsoft-OpenID announcement (Bill Gates and Craig Mundie announced MSFT support of OpenID2.0) didn’t include other OpenID players - like CordenceNetMesh and SixApart. I wondered the same thing myself. So Kim answered Kaliya’s question. Then Kaliya acknowledges the answer. This is when I love the blogosphere. It works.

Robert Scoble discovers Maya’s Mom in the garage - cleaning up after her kids - I bet. But Robert still isn’tbreaking up his LONG ASS videos into consumable form. I think this is a way for Robert to test idolatry and loyalty of his fans. If you canbear to sit hrough all those dam videos - THEN - you can be an official Scoble fan. Not me - I just can’t do it. Not that I don’t love Robert - it’s just that he needs to slice those dam long ass videos up into smaller chunks, bite size pieces.

So I heard about this video called Web 2.0 video and Eric Schonfeld linked to it - and talked about “a definition of Web 2.0 using the moving image” and it’s “all about people”. But what I find fascinating is how little media was referred to in this video. Almost not at all. So maybe that’s web 3.0 or whatever - but ever since I first saw the web in ‘93-’94 - I knew that until media was as easily malleable, interactive and pervasive as text and hyperlinking was - we wouldn’t be there - yet. So I watched this YouTube video - but yet video isn’t part of the equation. Or audio. Or photos. Hmmmm
