• del.icio.us

    Posted on July 3, 2004

    I signed up on del.icio.us a while ago, and just started adding some bookmarks to it today. I read through the docs page and was going to post about it, but I found an excellent post on edtech.teacherhosting.com describing the principles quite well. I hadn’t noticed the inbox feature before.... [Read More]

  • Blog Research

    Posted on July 2, 2004

    There’s a set of posts all linked together at Many2Many about research on blogging. It’s an interesting thread, even if I do think that academic research about blogging is a bit of an odd topic. One point I will bring up is that traditional methods are not set in stone.... [Read More]

  • The "Triple Play"

    Posted on July 1, 2004

    There is what appears to be a very insightful article over at TheFeature about what is traditionally called the “triple play” of services: voice, data, and video. I heard a decent amount about that coupling of services when I was working with companies trying to structure deals with telcos and... [Read More]

  • BlogOn 2004 - The Business of Social Media

    Posted on June 30, 2004

    I’m going over to BlogOn 2004 at UC Berkeley on July 22nd and 23rd. I wasn’t able to go to SuperNova, so I’m really happy that there’s another conf I can go to so soon. No info about wireless access, public metablog for trackbacks, or a wiki however. I’ll get... [Read More]

  • Mobile News

    Posted on June 28, 2004

    There’s a post over at TheFeature about trying to get the traditional news business to adapt to mobile information delivery. I know my own experiences are probably way out of line with the norm, but I’ve built up a little list of feeds that I can scan when I’ve got... [Read More]

  • Licklider on the Backchannel

    Posted on June 27, 2004

    I was just re-reading a couple of articles by J.C.R. Licklider. They’re only available as PDF as far as I’ve seen, sorry about that. In particular the second article, “Computer as Communication Device”, really struck me as a discussion about “the backchannel” that appears commonly at technical conferences these days....

  • Continuous Partial Attention

    Posted on June 25, 2004

    I’m playing the home edition of Supernova 2004. Listening to the audio streams, watching the Wiki for updates, keeping an eye on the metablog, and chatting on the IRC channel on irc.freenode.net. The term used to refer to dealing with all the incoming information is continuous partial attention. I always... [Read More]

  • The Torturous World of Powerpoint

    Posted on June 24, 2004

    I personally like to get more than one viewpoint whenever I can, and I think The Torturous World of Powerpoint provides an excellent complement to the Art of Positioning and Presenting talk that Bill Joos gave at the Art of the Start. [Read More]

  • ACLU Bust Card for Photographers

    Posted on June 23, 2004

    Inforgargoyle has a post about an ACLU Bust Card for Photographers. The compact sheet of info contains information about what your rights are when taking photos, and what your rights are and how to respond if someone confronts you about it. I think it’s an excellent thing to have available,... [Read More]
