We spent time at Lopez Lake - where I caught this hawk.

Does the blog get social or do we blog inside our social networks? Or both?  That is certainly the question.  each to his/her own I guess.  Wordpress buying BuddyPress and SixApart expanding Moveable Type’s social features - combined with the DiSO project - is advancing the notion that the blog is #1 - and that “bringing social to software” is the next wave.  But I believe that commenting on Twitter, commenting on Facebook NewsFeeds and other new forms of expressions have expanded the blogosphere in a good way.  But ultimately - it’s gonna be different for each user.

I’ll be diving into deeper this issue of the BBC opening up, Eric Huggers and open standards and codecs - in another separate post.

The Guardian continues to beef up on techies.

The best thing about web platforms - is that there are so many of them -a nd there will continue to be more. That’s a major basis of the open mesh. That between the BigCos and all these OTHER platforms  - new kinds of UI environments, tools, standards and shared constructs will energe which will enable users to ‘mesh in’ - in their own way.

I’ll be speaking at eDay in Rotterdam - Sept. 18th

I actually really like the way TechCrunch links to it’s own CruchBase. And they provide APIs to it - as well. I think that Tim OP’Reilly is pissed cause TechCrunch ain’t using wikipedia - which is part of O’Reilly’s insider’s mafia.

I’ve been doing all sorts of Gillmor Gang shows

Congrats and good luck to Mike Jones and his new venture

Yah - I’ve been ignoring Friendfeed - and Twitter.

Coolio - the idiot/liar/crooked VCs who funded Pixelon (the streaming media company headed by an escaped felon) are going public.

Yahoo and Intel are bringing widgets to the living room. I wonder if it’s compatible or competitive with Windows Home Media Center.

Whither Pandora? Ouch

OpenSocial is getting allot of traction.  Including Friendster

Dare forgot XML-RPC

The reason I’m not at Gnomedex is that I don’t think I’ve EVER seen Chris Pirillo anywhere else. He’s got to get out and participate in OTHER communities then himself.
