After the weblogs.com hosting debacle< /a> surfaced yet again by people trying to reignite the flames, I decided to try to discuss it again with David Weinberger, whose comments in the middle of the flamefest are widely cited as evidence of how I didn't do all I should have done to notify people with blogs on weblogs.com. I know David to be a thoughtful, careful and considerate person. And to this day well-intentioned people question my integrity over these events. That's not cool for a person such as myself who values his integrity.

We reviewed the options that people suggested at the time, 1. Send an email, or 2. Post something on Scripting News. Neither would have worked, the mail addresses were four years old and probably didn't work, most of the sites never got past the Hello World stage (so the authors might not remember creating the site, and certainly don't care), and most people with free sites weren't and probably still aren't Scripting News readers, any more than most Blogger users were Evhead readers.

Posting something on Scripting News wouldn't have notified the users, but it sure would have notified the flamers. I think they were saying that they were complaining that they weren't told in advance that it was time to rip me a new one. ";->"

Anyway, he posted a correctio n, so next time this comes up, as it is sure to, the flamers won't be able to use him to support their attacks. Thanks!

Dave mentioned W3C and RSS. What is the specific proposal here? My impression is that promoting existing formats is not in the W3C's mission. I see W3C as a standards development body; given that RSS is basically done I don't see the relevance. There was PNG, where the W3C basically rubber-stamped an existing, community-developed specification, but I don't think PNG gained anything from that. Turning over maintenance of RSS would be riskier IMO, because of the possibility that the W3C would want to redesign (fork) it.

Your New Phone Company Is The Cable

Your New Phone Company Is The Cable
Company? 05/03/2004 05:18 AM
Cable providers in the US took an early lead in the broadband market, though they've lost a little ground lately due to cut rate prices for DSL from the telcos. However, the cable providers are looking to pull an ace out of their sleeve by promoting their ability to easily provide the coveted "triple play" of voice, video and data through one single company. Many cable providers have been able to do this for a while, but they haven't spent much time promoting their phone service. That's about to change. While the telcos are still struggling to figure out their video strategy (TV over DSL? partner with a satellite provider?), the cable companies are getting ready to heavily promote their VoIP phone plans in conjunction with their TV and broadband connections. They admit that most people still don't know the cable company offers phone service, but they aim to change that soon. Beyond just getting more money out of each subscriber, it also means much less churn for the cable companies, as studies have shown that the likelihood of a customer switching providers drops drastically for each additional service they receive from their provider. While the article doesn't mention much about pricing, it would make sense for the cable companies to cut the prices on the phone service drastically. The additional cost to the companies isn't that high, and undercutting the telcos in their core market has to hurt them. Besides, as the article points out, choosing a phone company is much more of an "emotional" decision than choosing a broadband provider. If the cable companies can win over the emotions of people with very low priced calling plans, they'll more than make up the difference in new customers for their broadband and video services - and the resulting lack of churn.

Questions for Dave Winer...

Questions for Dave Winer... 04/09/2004 03:54 PM

Dear Mr Winer,

• Will the API for radiocomments be public and clonable?
• If so, will the API for radiocomments be published before the initial deployment of the radiocomments system?
• Will it be possible for Radio users to plug into a non-Userland scripting system?
• Will the process for designing the radiocomments API be open or will it be designed exclusively by Userland?
• Will Radio, Manila, or Frontier ever move to a non-proprietary scripting language?
• Have you or will you file patents for the weblogs.com technology?

I should add that I don't really have much of an opinion about the whole Typekey thing at the moment. Certainly we need something to deal with comment-spam, certainly a centralised service will help with that and make things easier, yes I'd rather have an open standard or set of protocols that allow completely decentralised system if I could think of any way it could be done (but offhand I can't).

Addendum: I have to confess that I'm not terribly interested in this stuff - I was making a fairly light-hearted and facetious point that really wasn't particularly well-expressed. I was clumsy in a variety of places, and for that I apologise. All I was saying, I guess, is that Dave's questions made it sound like Six Apart had a reputation for proprietorial formats and patenting stuff and not opening up APIs - and that I don't really see any evidence of that. And - realistically - Dave is still associated with Userland and Userland is still a competitor of SixApart - so I can't really see why they should feel any particular obligation to answer those questions. (Particularly given that Userland attempted to trademark RSS a few years ago - a move that could be seen to be directly against the kind of openness that Dave's interrogating Six Apart about.)

Anyway, I certainly don't feel qualified enough to comment in any depth about the business practices of either Six Apart or Userland in this context and these are not positions that I'd be prepared to battle to my last breath to protect. So I'm going to back down gracefully, only saying that I hope that it's clear why I had the impression that I had, however inaccurate it may or may not have been. I also apologise to anyone who was offended or feels mischaracterised and I hope we can put this all behind us.

Dave Winer posts a nice note on his trip to The Island. I was sitting at another table for the Zap dinner so I missed the Alice's Restaurant thing. I could hear a bit, though, and I'm happy to report that they didn't do Arlo Guthrie's full 18 minutes....

Me, Dave and Shelly all agree

Me, Dave and Shelly all agree 05/08/2004 11:04 PM

I was pretty sure Marc Canter would understand yesterday's post about sponsors, speakers, panels and audiences. And he explains, eloquently and diplomatically, why he agrees. "There's no way I'm getting on a plane to listen to Clay again unless we can discuss in public his issues." Exactly. You assemble this fantastic group of really smart people, and tell them they can't discuss. What a waste. Much better to put the minds to use. And all because a few lazy people don't want to be challenged. I hope the promoters of Supernova and Web 2.0 use the ideas outlined in the Howto< /A> for BloggerCon II. Ask people who were there, it really works, you just have to believe that you've got the smartest and best people coming to your conference, and then recruit reporters and professors to lead discussions. More here. [Scripting News]

Burningbird agrees.....

W eb Two, Oh?. I find myself in agreement with Dave Winer and Marc Cantor about O'Reilly's Web 2.0 conference, but maybe not for the same reasons. I don't have a problem with a more traditional presentation format, but Web 2.0 sounds, frankly, closed door and elitist. It seems like Tim O'Reilly is forgetting his open source, just plain folks roots (and we can kiss writing for O'Reilly again, for that). What is it lately with events where we have to ask to be invited. Google has started this with both Orkut and Gmail, then Movable Type with the 3.0 beta, and now O'Reilly with this conference. Request an invitation frankly sounds like Oliver crying out, "Please sir. May I have some more?" I don't ... [BurningBird]

Again - I don't mind cults, echo chambers or cliques.  Gosh - my son has a clique and he's just in 8th grade.  But there's lots of incredible opportunities that can unfold when you get folks lieke Dave Winer, Bob Frankston and Clay Shirky in a room.

I'd bet people would pay just to listen.

Dave Winer and I did a debate at Stewart Alsop's Agenda conference - back in, oh it must have '87 or '88.  The subject was "should Hypercard be bunded with the system software of the Macintosh?"  It was fun.

Folks could vote from their seats with little hand held controllers, oh maybe? - no that was the year of the cheer meter - gauged on volume.  Regardless of the technology, I mean come on - we gotta use the HeckleBot somehow!

So how 'bout a little creativity here - huh?

Dave Winer asks......

Dave Winer asks...... 08/02/2004 01:29 PM

Dave Winer just posted a comment and asked.....

I don't get it -- why don't you use Radio?

What exactly was unreliable about it?

Maybe I can help figure out how to get it reliable.

Paolo was running his own RCS, right?

Anyway, I'm glad a Radio user finally had the confidence to tell the other guys that they haven't even caught up with UserLand's low-end product yet. Hold them to it. Let's get a real baseline for competition here.

Marc's reply......

First of all Congrats on the Convention - totally amazing to see how far blogging has come since you first floated the idea to me - back in 1995.

Personal publishing sure has come a long way - but we're not done yet. The idea of a client based personal server is something I can credit you for being the first person to come up with that idea. The issues surrounding that kind of product have been revealed because of Radio - and we all you a debt of gratitude for that one - too!

So I actually felt that Radio represented a lot more than just a 'blogging tool'. I worked with Mikel Maron on his MyRadio project and lauded Social DynamX's FMRadioStation. We even planned to do a product called Sweet Suite - which would also have complemented Radio.

But dude - you folks fell behind. I guess that doesn't mean you anymore - but being the largest shareholder does keep your teeth in the game. You question certainly shows that you're still concerned with the product's status and view - from the public POV.

So I can speak for many of us who left Radio in the past year - we loved that product, it changed our lives - but as new features, functionality and flexiblity came onto the market - Radio was incresingly keeping us behind.

Take the comment you left me.

I got an email of it, asking me to approve it - via 6A's TypeKey system. That rocks.

There are plenty of things that Radio still leads the market with - and that was the core of my post. But there were also lots of reasons to stop using Radio.

Stability was probably the biggest issue for me. After 5 or 6 total crashes, some of them my fauilt, others Radio instability - I just gave up. Also the feeling that all development on Radio had stopped - was a disappointment.

I always felt that you didn't charge enough for Radio, that if you had kept EditThispage going as a service and morphed it like Pyra did - the world would be a different place today.

And there was a whole "blogging support" play there - that never was taken advantage of......

Yes - Paolo runs his own RCS - and he's your biggest supporter and develoiper - BTW. And we're just getting started.

But for some reason - my mind flows to new kinds of micro-content, namespaces and decoupling schemas from the subscription protocol.

Isn't there a way I can talk you into getting back involved in moving these standards FORWARD?

Instead of worrying about the width of the threads on the pipe, can't we focus on the structured shit that goes through the pipes?

As I said before - I REALLY think that we can setup open standards for NEW kinds of micro-content. Here they are - and some of the people who should be involve don a domain specific basis. But DUDE - you know me and you and Sifry and Jon Udell should drive the overall architecture of all this. We NEED you! Here are the new kind sof micro-content I'm talking about:

- OpenEvents (Brian Dear, Peter Caputa, Andy Biao)
- OpenMedia (JD Lasica, Stewert Butterfield, Greg Elin, Brewster Kahle, Lucas Gonze, Kevin Marks, Robert Kaye and many others.....)
- OpenReviews (Alf Eaton, Paul Martino, Ross Rader)
- OpenPeople (all the FOAFnet.org folks, Tantek Celik, Sxip (Dick Hardt), Joel De Gan)
- OpenRecipes (Meg Hourihan)
- OpenResume (Phil Wolff, Phil Windley)

Now not all these folks have signed up yet - but DUUUUUUUUUUUDE - we need you!
