Getting ready for a big November - and blogging about it
November is gonna be a big month for Broadband Mechanics. The network we did for the Future of Business Media conference is live. We’re hiring, we have three large sites going live in November and///
Well lets just say that the world is starting to “bring social to software” and that’s what we can do - now - for anybody else.
Meanwhile….
The Relationship Update Stream got announced by SixApart. This was part of the speech by Brad Fitzpatrick and David Recordan a Web 2.0.
Dare Obasanjo goes over how to make DLAs (digital lifestyle aggregators) more relevant. And talks about how the web is the platform.
“What RSS did for content, gadgets are doing for applications”
Special thanks to Paul Boutin for a really well done post on translating into English all the buzzword du jour mentality we’ve got reverberating in our business. He actually explained our platform correctly! Paul actually called me to clarify what the hell it was I’m talking about - since his boss Owen Thomas got it wrong last time.
Tim O’Reilly’s post on social networking operating systems is the latest of posts to start to grok what’s going on. That’s why what Google does is so important - as it’ll raise the litmus one step higher in what ‘being open’ really means.
YES - I want a SNS for my apartment building - but don’t stop there - it has to be a full DLA!
Congrats to Kim Cameron and JanRain on getting OpenID to be Cardspace compliant. Maybe now they can get back to work on the php libraries for the Attribute Exchange.
How to evaluate the MySpace (and other) platforms
Liz Gannes just calls me Question. Hey Liz! Remember to spell the name right!
It was great to see Ted Leonsis this week. He not only got to visit Facebook but he also made a presentation to Web 2.0 on RevolutionMoney.
Social Networking is a feature, not a destination
We’re all interested in hearing more details on the Entertainment Operating System from Cisco. Great name.
I agree with Dare - if you fight the web, you will lose.

Its great that you’re pushing for mobility of personal data and asking the right questions at these bloated conferences.
God, Web 2.0 has gotten like a rock star festival, where the presenters have fogotten how to interview people in a civil way. And Meeker should simply stay home anf send us all the URL…her presentation was Powerpoint hell. Give her the time or tell her to shut up. Don’t give us the crap that this is the favorite part of Web 2.0.

2 of the links to my site are broken links.
Thanks for the festival of links. I’ve bookmarked the O’Reilly one to revisit later.
