Save The Children calls on release of

Save The Children calls on release of Iraqi children from jails. This apparently in response to recent media reports on the abuse of children in Iraqi prisons. And it's not just Save the Children who is concerned, but UNICEF, Amnesty International, and the Red Cross. Infact, Congress has called for a special briefing tomorrow from the Pentagon on "confidential reports" from the Red Cross on prison conditions in Iraq. The Pentagon is closing the briefing to the public, however, and apparently thinks that even Congress shouldn't know the details of how we treat prisoners.
"It's something of a stretch of policy and procedures to give them to the Congress," Rumsfeld spokesman Larry Di Rita said.

The story of "St. James Infirmary." You thought it was a piece of old New Orleans? Turns out St. James Hospital was in London (and treated lepers), and the song goes back at least to the 18th century (though it used to be sung to the tune of "Streets of Laredo"). Rob Walker's Letter From New Orleans #13 describes the results of his obsessive researches. If you have more info, he wants to hear from you! (Via Wordorigins, a site any word lover should know.)

Marc Canter regrets that the company he founded, Macromedia, left the service business. [Scripting News]

Inthe early days of MacroMind - my partner Stuart Sharope and I came up with a way to stay alive.  We started creating these animated marketing disks (on floppy in those days) which would loop in computer stores.  The retailers loved them and soon enough Microsoft, Lotus, Ashton-Tate, Novell - everyone had ot have one.

It was one of the things that made the Mac look better than PCs.  And we could produce them fairly cheaply - something like $30k-$50k per.

Well needless to say when "professional" management and investors came along the FORST thing they said was "get out of that business, you're competing with your customers."

Man oh man - do I regret that decision.  We could have become a $200M company by 1990, never needing to merge in Paracomp or Authorware and I wouldn't have then been kicked out by those same VCs.

Since all they care about is money - they wanted and needed an IPO - but we didn't have enough cash flow yet.  So they merged in these related comapnies, which turned out to add ZERO cash flow, and just diluted me down to almost nothing.

God bless the VCs.  May they turn Friendster into - nothing.

Vitamin D? 12/25/2003 11:28 PM
D iagnosing Tiny Tim An interesting parlor game among pediatricians is to determine the ailment that afflicted the character Tiny Tim from a Christmas Carol. The most likely suspects include renal tubular acidosis or a vitamin D deficiency due to excessive London industrial smog, both of which result in rick ets. (This would explain why Tiny Tim needed a crutch). Given that Tiny Tim's condition was likely curable if Scrooge paid Cratchit more money, this has inspired one r ight-wing contrarian to argue that Scrooge should have worked a little Malthusian magic by letting Tiny Tim die.

Brendon Wilson sent me this note:

Are affiliation relationships another form of micro-content by your definition? See this post for the background....

Brendon

So that definitely caught my attention. Brendon works for PGP and seems like a really smart dude.

So here's Brendon's post......

Clicking For Dollars

A couple weeks back, I mentioned to one of my co-workers that he should check out the special features on the "Wag the Dog" DVD. About five minutes later, he passed by my cube and mentioned that he had looked at the information on my blog and added the film to his Netflix queue. The importance of this moment didn't strike me until Apple's more recent announcement of an affiliate program for the iTunes Music Store.

It occurred to me that my friend had been forced to go through a circuitous route to add the movie to his Netflix queue. Rather than simply clicking a link within the review on my web page, he had to log into his Netflix account, find the movie and then add it to his queue of movies. What a pain.

It's no secret that I'm a fan of the Amazon Affiliates program - it seems almost obvious that Netflix should incorporate a similar affiliation system to allow web sites to provide users with an easy way to use the Netflix system. Such a system would enable Netflix to embed itself into the web - and all it would cost is a little web plumbing and whatever credit they give to referring web sites. Netflix gets a way to leverage the blogosphere, the blogosphere gets a way to further build useful content and value for its readership, and the bloggers gets a way to get mildly compensated for their effort to create value.

But the prospect of multiple affiliation systems raises an interesting user interface obstacle (oh, where art thou OK/Cancel?): what happens when affiliation systems collide?

Picture the scenario: a user comes to your web site to read your review of a kick-ass new independent film about an underground band you're interested in checking out. Does the link to the movie go to Amazon (and hence, contains your Amazon Associates ID) to allow the user to buy the DVD, or does it go to Netflix to allow the user to add the film to their Netflix queue? Does the link to the album go to Amazon to allow the user to buy the CD, or does it go to iTunes to allow the user to buy individual tracks in a digital form? What if you prefer to buy digital music from Real? Or movies from Barnes and Noble?

Although Amazon is the only real player with enough momentum to draw significant link-love from the bloggers, they can't be all things to all people. Inevitably, as demonstrated by Apple's affiliate program announcement, there will be new entrants, each striving to carve out their particular niche by leveraging blogs to enable customers to be "self-selected", for lack of a better word. But it'll have to get easier - blogging tools fail abysmally to simplify the process of leveraging other web services, like Google's Adsense (assuming they don't smack you down in the process). Making it easier will require a standard mechanism to interface with affiliation systems. Hmm, makes me wonder - would Marc Canter consider affiliation relationships another form of micro-content?

[Brendon Wilson]

I then responded with this comment to his blog:

God bless the clear minded thinkers. Right on.

Here's my take on it.

There are APIs and schemas. As long as something can have a permalink and be subscribe able to... via an aggregator - it's micro-content.

But what you bring up - are web services. The combination of various types of technologies (in your example's case - it's a movie (media) being added to infrastructure (NetFlix) via a blog (the ORIGINAL form of micro-content).

So what you've taught me today is that it's MORE than just APIs and schemas. It's infrastructure and web services too.

Thank you.

---

Postscript: Brendon's suggestion for NetFlix is EXACTLY what I told them - six months ago. Offering end-users ways to make money is key. These affiliate programs can be part of the Web OS infrastructure.

Or shall I say "a business model for digital lifestyle aggregation?"

Uncle Shelby's ABZ Book - along with The Gashlycrumb Tinies, Max und Moritz, and Der Struwwelpeter (previously discussed here and here) - are classics in the genre of children's books that are likely to disturb sensitive adults. Of course, Barbar isn't much better, and neither is Mickey Mouse, but at least they're not trying to conquer the human race [via Boing Boing]. What is it about corrupted innocence that's so darn funny?

It's good that there's a group watching out for issues concerning children and technology, but it would be nice, for once, if they could stop with their fear-mongering misleading announcements. Children's charity NCH in the UK, which is good at getting publicity for their causes, never seems to get questioned at all by the press. This is the group that put out a ridiculously misleading story blaming the internet for child porn and then produced a very carefully worded study to misleadingly suggest that 3G phones were a threat to children. Their latest piece of artwork is a report sug gesting that 11-year-olds are gambling online in the UK, but which gives no evidence to support that at all. What they did was convince one 16-year-old girl to sign up for a variety of gambling sites with a debit card and to lie about her age. She apparently got into many of them. From this, they point out that many banks will give out debit cards to people as young as 11, and thus, 11-year-olds can now gamble online. Of course, beyond convincing an underage girl to lie, the group also gives everyone the full list of online casinos where (apparently) 11-year-olds can gamble. Now, they're completely right that these sites need better age verification measures. However, stories about 11-year-olds gambling online should have a little more factual basis than a 16-year-old told to lie.

etoy, the infamou s tech-prankster art collective, is after our kids!

"etoy.CORPORATION's education & training services are preparing for a major upgrade of its social division. 8 etoy.AGENTS in close collaboration with local experts will convert 500 individuals (max.age: 10 years), providing them with an entry point into art production, identity design and electronic authorship.

The etoy.DAY-CARE education program equips etoy.JUNIOR-AGENTS with the tools necessary to out-produce today's most relevant social and technological problems. etoy researches identity issues, group behavior patterns and the creativity potential of children in digital environments.

Each little test pilot will be outfitted with a protection suit, various etoy.TOOLS, its own identity tag (an individual encrypted 2D-ba rcode) and a customized etoy.DATA-TANK online to grow a subversive identity-extension and a long term relationship with etoy.CORPORATION.

Care personnel and in-house software agents will actively monitor the condition of each child and will stay in close contact with parents and human rights organizations.

etoy.SHAREHOLDERS and an international audience can follow the operations. Invest in the code of tomorrow!" Link
