Brent’s Psychic Predictions for
2004
Brent’s Psychic Predictions for
2004
12/30/2003 02:53 PMAre RSS aggregators pretty much there, just needing some tweaks and
small features—or at they still at the very beginning of their
evolution, with a long road still ahead?
This question was asked on the NetNewsWire beta testing list.
It’s a good question.
Answer: aggregators still have a
long road ahead. What you
see now is just the beginning.
I have an idea of some of the things you’ll see in 2004 (not
just in NetNewsWire but in aggregators in general). So consider this
as Brent’s psychic predictions for 2004.
1. Atom syndication support. Some aggregators already have this, and I
suspect most will by mid-2004.
2. Synching. The idea is to synchronize not only your subscription
lists but also the read/unread status of individual
headlines—and to make it so it works between different apps,
even apps running on different operating systems.
3. Easier subscribing. One of the problems for new users is the
problem of subscribing to feeds. The “feed” URL scheme is
a step forward here, because it makes it so you can subscribe to feeds
directly from your browser. It also means instead of lots of ways to
do this, which is inherently confusing, aggregator developers and
users can collapse it down to one way. (I suspect there will be other
good ideas too—especially in the realm of finding feeds.) Making
all this easy for new users is a high priority.
Anyway... individual aggregators, NetNewsWire included, will add lots
of other new features not listed above. The above are just the things
I predict aggregators will do in common for 2004. I expect lots of
innovation to come from all over, but I can’t predict what those
innovations will be.
Years from now aggregators will be like email apps: we’ll know
what an aggregator should do and what the UI conventions are. But for
now we get to be creative, try new ideas, see what sticks. So—my
last prediction—I except 2004 to be fun.

has defined
a couple of new clipboard formats specifically for handling RSS
feed data: RSSi ("RSS Item") and RSSs ("RSS Source"). As far as I know
NetNewsWire is the only app currently using these formats so... I've
whipped up a free
REALbasic class module to make getting and setting RSSi and RSSs
clipboard datatype easy in any REALbasic app. (If you're building a
Cocoa app, check out Brent's freely-available classes). If you're
creating an RSS-using app, I urge you to consider supporting these
formats - the more the merrier.

"Huge RSS support from Amazon. It just keeps growing." [Scripting News]
Dear Innovative Interfaces,
I want a list like this for my

P.S. Please be prepared to respond to this request when I visit
your booth at next week's Computers in Libraries
conference.
Innovative Gets Busy!
Innovative Gets Busy!
06/05/2005 11:24 PMI’m totally snowed under writing grants and dealing with some
medical stuff going on at home, but I just had to post about this.
Someone forwarded to me Innovative’s June
2005 newsletter (PDF). See if you can spot why from the following
list of just a few things they will be introducing in upcoming
releases:
- A program registration module that uses the
patron database to let your users register for
events.
- Spell-check for searches in the catalog
(let’s add auto suggest, too, eh?).
- “Patron
materials rating,” which is an ugly way of saying user ratings
and you can see how others are rating titles. You can also add a
reading history module that lets users track what they’ve
already read, all of which integrates with the ratings
piece.
- WebBridge “smart” linking, which highlights
resources you’ve designated for specific searches when the user
runs that search.
- The ability to link to ebook and audio ebook
vendors from the 856 field in AirPAC.
- Sympsoia, a digital
repository module.
- RSS.
Yep, you read that right
– RSS! So the good news is that they are currently beta testing
RSS feeds with Yale University, and Innovative seems to understand what
they need to offer in terms of feeds.
“Now, Innovative’s RSS
(Really Simple Syndication) development will make possible new
time-critical features for both anonymous and logged-in users of the
online catalog. RSS is an XML format that allows organizations and
individuals to feed news data directly into news readers or webpages
as it is updated. The XML feed can be converted to HTML for use in a
wide variety of contexts.
It is already possible to add these
HTML portions with feed data into any library-customizable page in the
Web OPAC. With Release 2006LE, available late this year, Innovative
customers will have the ability to convert feeds to HTML without using
third-party solutions. Also, the library will be able to generate its
own feeds of new titles acquired by the
library….
Innovative will use RSS to support one-to-many
communication, but in Release 2006 there will also be one-to-one
support. Patrons will be able to get RSS messages as part of their My
Millennium suite of personalization features. Timely messages such as
‘Materials due tomorrow’ or ‘New item on hold shelf
for you’ will let patrons know about their interactions with the
library more quickly than ever before.”
I am
thrilled to hear about all of this, but you also just read the bad
news – 2006. That means my SWAN libraries really will
lose a minimum of 924 hours of staff
time this year after all. Still, they’re heading in the
right direction and doing lots of cool stuff, so I tip my hat to III
and say job well done!

Channel Z is innovative

04/25/2004 09:51 AM
I went looking for a pointer for Channel Z and noted two
things.
Google knows I'm in the Netherlands. This
is irritating. I may be in the Netherlands, but I don't speak Dutch.
How do I tell it to stop being so smart and just give me
Google-As-Usual for a guy from the US who likes the Mets.
Second, when I searched for Channel Z the top hit was a post
from a guy at O'Reilly complaining that I stole the idea from him.
What utter nonsense. The idea of hierarchic directories certainly
predates blogging tools. Manila has had a hierarchic directory browser
since 2000. And everything in Channel Z
is edited in an outliner, and as far as I know no other blogging tool
has one, and if it does, was it really the first outliner? I did my
first outliner in 1978. Doug Engelbart did one before. I think that's
about it.

that is given away free with the hardware.

Five Innovative Firms Face The
Competition
Five Innovative Firms Face The
Competition
09/08/2004 12:32 PMInnovators don't always survive. In fact, there are plenty of stories
of innovative companies who blazed the path for others to follow, but
who were trampled by all those fast followers. News.com has written
up a piece looking at five such innovative companies, all of whom are
now facing strong competition from established companies:
Netflix, TiVo,
PalmSource, RIM and Vonage. All five have their similarities.
They all came first in their space, and they have customers who
absolutely adore them. Now, they all have some pretty big
competition. So, the question for all of these companies is whether
they can adapt and stay ahead, or if they'll be historical footnotes.
All have been adjusting, from Netflix and TiVo's
rumor
ed deal with each other, to the new
smartphone
RIM released, to Vonage's push to get bundled in with Linksys and
Netgear equipment. Whether or not that's enough remains to be seen.
It's both interesting (and encouraging) to note that, while all of
these companies seem to have various patents, none seem to simply be
relying solely on those patents as a competitive advantage, but rather
are realizing they really do need to offer more innovative products.
Given the trend lately of companies using patent licensing to impede,
rather than promote, innovative uses of technology, this is a good
thing. As we've said before, sustainable competitive advantage is the
real
myth
of IT. Building up successive, fleeting competitive advantages is how
a company really needs to maintain its position or grow long-term.
