Greetings from Japan

Saturday, May 12th, 2007

Howdy!  I’m going to be out of the U.S. for most of the summer, returning for Gnomedex.
Meanwhile - it’s great to see Dave Winer discover T-Rex in Berkely - I bet we could do some coolio blogger dinners there.
And I got some Shabu Shabu as soon as I arrived as the one we used to […]

Many kinds of meta-networks

Tuesday, May 8th, 2007

Clarence Wooten of CollectiveX left a comment, informing me that his company has been doing meta-networks for a year now. I had heard of CollectiveX but had no idea that they were also a network or networks - offered as a hosted solution. I wonder if they also OEM/white label their system, like […]

Me.com copies us - too - acknowledges meta-networks is the way to go

Tuesday, May 8th, 2007

I’ll take a quick break from my work, to blog about Me.com cloning our approach to meta-networks. When Ning copied us - I didn’t make too much of a commotion, as copying is the most sincere form of flattery. And to me - it validated ideas I had had - 4 years earlier.
Now […]

Twitter clone

Sunday, May 6th, 2007

I’ve been thinking about what I don’t like about Twitter and I just saw this post from Ted Leung about a Twitter clone.

The ExaFlood

Saturday, May 5th, 2007

Here’s a pretty cool video from the FTTH Council - on the need for real broadband - 100 Mbps into the home.
Its a nice viral pitch and campaign, though I did detect a slight hint of “vendors will have to pay extra for better service”. Their argument is that consumers shouldn’t have to pay […]

Back home, feeling better, time to play catch up

Greetings to Clear Channel

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007

If any of you have been tracking the evolution of social networking, you might have heard that Clear Channel has just joined the fray.  Oh goodey!
What’s most interesting about this is that Clear Channel has in the past - proven to be one of the most negative influences and factors in the entertainment industry.  Their […]

Greetings from Las Vegas

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007

We did a panel yesterday on user-identity. Today is the social networking panel.
Not quite qure why they have Evan Williams on the panel - I guess I’ll have to ask him about the Groups and Personal Pages features of Twitter.
But this is gonna be one fun panel.
I received clarification from a Facebook coder (Ari) […]
