I chaperoned my eldest son’s after-prom set tonight. I’m a McGill Dad.

Here’s the first draft of the comparative features and policies matrix Daniela Barbosa - the new leader of dataportability.org is working on.  Now that Daniela has stepped up - much of the game playing is over.

I sure hope the food doesn’t stick - today.   Steve says we’re gonna talk about what Scoble posted.  This should be fun!

One word MicroHooGooCahnFace - that says it all.  Every day I wake up to another incredible state of this story.  Will it ever end?  I believe Kara planned this all to coincide with two key events:  Her upcoming AllThingsD event and Legal gay marriages.

This is another reason I love the blogosphere and am proud to call myself a blogger. Smart ass dudes like Jeff Jarvis.   He ties the Facebook-Microsoft-Yahoo rumors into data portability and the ongoing conversation we’ve been having.  Also links in Fred Wilson as well. Don’t you just love the blogosphere? And what a title! @Facebook @Shark: Jump? Jeff plugs his book, totally rips Facebook a new one - all the while grokking and summarizing what all the rest of us are saying.  Jarvis brings his own new unique perspective - which loads up MY gun with ammunition the next time somebody says “why do I care about Facebook locking up my info?”  Thanks Jeff!  You gotta love Haque’s Law (which Jeff just dubbed): As interaction explodes, the costs of evil are starting to outweigh the benefits. 

Just one thing Jeff.  It’s MarC - like the other Marc.

Nothing wrong with talking to people.  As many of you know - I am in favor of conversations.

Blogging 2.0 is about enabling the conversation across many blogs and supporting sites and services  - here here

I’ve actually wondered if Bill gates really WILL step down.

Mediaroom seems pretty coolio.

Fred Wilson is blogging for engineers

Here’s another great Fred Wilson-ism:

Social web services need not fear data portability. They need to fear others providing a better experience. Because when others do that, the flow of data moves and they aren’t in the middle anymore. They might still have your data but they won’t have you. And that’s where the value is.

How true.

John Battelle rightly points out that the next battlefield is over media rich ads.  And Google is showing their strategy.

If there ever was a thing as a sure bet - it’s Big Brown to win in the Belmont - continuing his perfect record and capturing the Triple crown.

Egging as technical terrorism.

Seasteading

WebMonkey - Kourosh continues to kick butt!

Congrats to the OpenAIM dev contest winners

hmmmmm - I bet there’s another side to this story.
