We’ve just gone live with yet another site built by Broadband Mechanics for our client - RadioOne.
It’s called ‘theUrbanDaily.com’ and it’s incestuously married to its sister social network - OnOne.com.
More on this later.
Check it out.

Now that Live Mesh has been released and the upcoming takeover of Yahoo will be completed - its time for us to contemplate connecting the giant set of resources and assets of Microsoft and Yahoo together.
To me its obvious that this all happens at the API layer.  Kara Swisher shot a video yesterday where I […]

Congrats to Steve Gillmor and Michael Arrington on the rebirth of the Gillmor Gang. I’ll be on it - once in a while - when I’m not too busy actually getting work done. Here’s a quiz - try and count how many obnoxious rude things Jason Calacanis says to me. […]

My sequence of 3 posts on Ning got the expected response from the person I was hoping would ‘reach out’ to me. Isn’t the blogosphere efficient?
First I want to reply to someone named Thomas as he corrected me on the fact that OpsWare is not OpsWare but Opsware. Clearly a gross misjustice and […]

Brooke Hammerling who reps Ning should get a clue and get the attention OFF of Ning’s absurd valuation and onto what people are doing WITH Ning.  Overvaluing your company is not a good thing.
Bragging about not making a profit is not a good thing.

This is one of those rare moments where Owen Thomas is actually acting like an intelligent journalist/blogger while FastCompany just eats up all their bullshit and spits it back out.
That may have something […]

And the beat just keeps on flowing….
I’ll be at the DataSharing Workshop - tomorrow - April 18th  Real world portability meets the valley of the  shrug.  Advocacy, standards and cooperation is hard.
The aggregators are starting to aggregate the aggregators.  But I defer to Eric Schonfeld on all the data clutter issues. How could you even […]

OK - now that we’ve shipped a few networks and I’ve written up how one’s ID, Persona and Groups (#1) and persistent ubiquitous content (#2) are important areas in building out the mesh, I’d now like to focus on an area which has been bubbling up for years and which will also play a […]

Exclusive interview of Malcolm X’s grandson
Charlene Li is calling for Women of Web 2.0 to meetup!  You go grrrrrrl!  I guess Jeremiah isn’t invited - huh?  Or does he serve the drinks?
Did anyone out there think there was room for more than one NetVibes? I gotta wonder what Pageflakes’ VCs were thinking.
As platforms and […]
