'We the Media' Blog in Beta
'We the Media' Blog in Beta07/20/2004 01:16 PM Oops, we forgot to turn off the pinging of weblog-alert sites when we
put up what amounts to a beta version of the "We the Media" website. Joi
Ito spotted it and b
logged it.
As Joi just noted in an IM, it seemed "very appropriate for the book."
How true...
'We the Media' Q&A in Wired news08/11/2004 11:50 AM Wired News' Xeni Jardin had a bunch of questions for me about the book, and I did my best

Here's a jacket-cover image for my soon-to-arrive book, We the
Media. The designers did a great job.
We're starting to build a website to accompany the book. My goal is to
have something as lively and useful as Howard Rheingold's Smart Mobs site. I'll tell you
more as the publication date gets closer.

Who is talking about what?
Who is talking about what?03/14/2005 05:45 PM
When my son was a bit younger, we noticed that when we asked him a
question, he'd answer with a question. Inevitably this led to the
following exchange:
Q: Why do you always answer a question with a question?
A: Why does everybody always ask me that?
I remembered that yesterday when somebody asked me: "Who do you read
on the topic of REST?" I answered with a question of this form:
/item[contains(.,'REST')]/title
Which, translated into English, asks: "What RSS items have I read that
mention REST?". You can run that query directly here, and you'll get back the most recent 25
matching items. Note that you can also subscribe to that query, using
the orange XML icon at the bottom of the page. So not only can I
answer the question with a question, but my answer keeps producing new
answers.

First of all, a transcript would be so much better; I don't have an
hour to listen and if I did it would be in my car, and even if I
tried, sitting here in my office (even though the audio is excellent)
my attention is continually getting pulled away by email or instant
messages or red letters in NetNewsWire or whatever. If I'm writing
code or a tricky position paper or reading something material or even
just thinking about a hard problem I can tune out the distractions no
problem, but four guys talking? The mind wanders. [ongoi

I agree. Doug Kaye is working on providing transcripts, but it's a
hard problem and a thankless chore.
Meanwhile, I've been exploring a middle-ground approach. I went
through the first half of the show, in which various aspects of
service-oriented architecture were batted around, and added a layer of
indexing and annotation. The result: this SMIL
presentation for the Real player. Note: Clicking an index link
will seek in the audio stream and synch the annotations panel, but (at
least for me) won't always actually play the audio at that location
unless you click again. (Annoying. Why is that?)

Talking garbage bins, how's that not futuristic coolness?
but how long until they get irritating? (and will they update the
poptune bins monthly?) from the article:
"In a uniquely German mix of hi-tech gadgetry and environmental
awareness, Berlin authorities are installing talking trash cans in
some of the German capital's most popular squares. Pop your litter
into one of the bins and it's liable to say thank you. Or welcome you
to Berlin in English, French or Japanese. Or even sing.
After a successful trial period, 20 of the bins have been installed in
the Zoologischer Garten area of western Berlin's biggest shopping
district and at the bustling business and entertainment hub of
Potsdamer Platz."

You Talking to Me? Speech on Mac OS X04/12/2004 02:14 AM The Speech technology is in fact built in two parts: a speech
synthesizer that your Mac can use to communicate with you -- read text
on demand but also keep you informed about the status of a process.
And a speech-recognition technology that allows you to talk to your
Mac to send commands to it -- what you usually do with a keyboard and
mouse.
Talking with Microsoft06/22/2004 03:46 PM I'm in Seattle today to keynote an internal Microsoft conference on
Web publishing. I'm going to make a plea for amateurism, which is
really a plea for voice and ambiguity. About twenty of us went out to
dinner last night and had a great a time. I don't think I've ever met
a Microsofty that I've disliked. In my 15 years of experience with
'em, I've generally found them to be hugely bright, passionate, and
funny ... although some of what they do when they're put together into
the mighty Microsoft Entity deeply disturbs me. Even so, the people
I've...
I had a good talk yesterday with Jeff Weiner, Senior VP of Search
and Marketplace over at Yahoo! I shouldn’t pass on what Jeff said;
anyhow if he wants to talk to the world, he has
a blog. But I can talk about what I said: first, Y! should be
watching the Atom protocol work like a hawk, because they have two
choices: either they try to beat everyone else out there and build the
world’s greatest authoring tool, or they get behind a standardized
protocol and let the cellphone guys and PDA people and let everyone
compete to do it. Second, we were talking about improving search in
general; near as I can tell, there isn’t a huge quality gap between
Y!, Google, and MSN, and it’s hard to believe that any of them can
sustainably get much ahead of the rest. On the other hand, I think Y!
has a good chance to take on Google in the advertising space, both
AdSense and AdWords, and maybe win. They know a whole lot of stuff
about a whole lot of people; for example, they know my stock-market
portfolio and what weather forecasts and maps I look up; they probably
have more information about more individuals than anyone else in the
business. On behalf of all those advertising sellers and buyers: it
would sure be nice to see some competition. Maybe even some
transparency.
