Springtime for Blogging in Walnut Creek

Coolio new standard called the Digital Living Network Alliance with its own standards body - OpenIP Forum.  I guess those professional standards guys - still have jobs.  But its such a coolio name, I sure hope its real.  Its supposed to support the IP Multimedia subsystem standard for IPTV.  Now lets see what happens.

Marshall Kirkpatrick blurts out: “Ning Doesn’t Support OpenID??”  Me too - I gotta ASSUME they will!

Congrats to James Seng and family!

Congrats to Fred Wilson on moving and keeping it fresh.

Here’s a great line from Fred on Monetizing Widgets: “But I guarantee you that there are some smart crafty entrepreneurs out there right now who have figured an angle that does make sense and are building the technology to power their move.” My buddy (and client) Hooman Radfar ( of Clearspring) responds to Fred’s assertion that it’s all about a ‘feed-based architecture.  You see - Hooman knows that Fred is one of the guy’s behind Feedburner and that Fred thinks Feedburner is gonna take over the Widget space.  Hooman retorts: “But just because they [Feedburner] are good at RSS syndication, it does not mean that they are just going to magically take over the widget space.”

And congrats to Hooman and Clearspring on their deal for March Madness!
