Seth Godin

Are blogs backward?

This leads me to two thoughts:
a. a lot more blogs should be posted in chronological order, like books. If you're trying to chronicle something, it makes a lot of sense to start at the beginning, as long as you provide regular readers an easy way to just read the current stuff (That's what RSS is for, right?). No, this isn't right for gizmodo. But it makes a lot of sense for someone, say, chronicling her experience in a 12 step program.

b. we need Movable Type or someone to create a simple way to create "greatest hits" pages. Not an archive, but a simple way for a new reader to read the ten posts we want them to start with, in the order we want them read, before they dive in.

I know it's weird to read a chronological blog. It's worse, imho, to leave a great blog just because the last two posts don't make sense out of context.

I think that blogs are creating a new format that people have become used to reading. Regardless of whether it is the most effective format, people are now accustomed to seeing new posts on top, stuff in the sidebar, etc. Granted that many people are reading blogs for the first time, I think that there is too much momentum to make a dramatic shift in the way we present information on blogs without a lot of confusion.

I think that making a "greatest hits" page easier to create makes sense. I personally like wiki pages for that sort of thing, but I could imagine it being built into a tool. Another thing people do is to put a sidebar section of favorite items and permalink from there.

Or maybe there is a way to create another view that allows you to read a blog from the beginning. That should be that hard.

PHP has gone from strength to strength over recent years. Reputable sources have demonstrated both its phenomenal growth rate, and indicated that it is the most-used Apache module by quite some way, flooring even the twin titans of mod_perl and OpenSSL in the popularity stakes (a fact which some people seem quite keen to gloat about) [1]. Tiobe Software's "Programming Community Index" (a nominal measure of the popularity of programming languages and skillsets) ranks PHP as having climbed so far as to be tussling with Visual Basic over fourth position, only being clearly bettered by the heavyweights of C, C++ and Java. Along with Perl, Apache, GCC and the Linux kernel, it is one of the undisputed heavyweight success stories of Free / Open Source Software. On Tuesday, PHP v.5.0 was finally unleashed upon the world. What is starkly evident is that, whilst the developers have spilled blood to facilitate backwards compatibility, enormous changes have been made, both to the language syntax and its capability. These changes have implications beyond the world of PHP itself: They are representative of a certain trend in programming languages and the advance of technology in general. So do these changes Promote Hyper-productive Programming, or are they just Purloining Heinous Piss ? [2]

Seth Schoen: "The second thing that bothered me when I used XP was that codecs and viewers were constantly being downloaded automatically. That process was shielding millions of people from the intense politics surrounding the formats in which they receive and transmit data -- from the question of their legality or illegality, whether they are proprietary or not, what terms and restrictions attach to them, to whom they are available and for what purposes, whether they work well, who created them, why, and when, whether they will continue to be available and to whom and from whom, what and whose strategies they are a part of, with what and with whom they interoperate, under what conditions -- all invisibly submerged and putting the world of codecs and formats squarely under the power of marketing."

Seth Godin's new project, ChangeThis is a project to have interesting people write short "manifestos". Seth's working on creating a new form of literature. It's looks like something between a paper, a blog post and a marketing presentation with a message. It will be interesting to see how this takes off. It looks interesting to me. They have a blog, "Read and Pass".

Making It to the In-Box: Some research in the ongoing fight between legitimate email and over-zealous spam filters.

Return Path, an e-mail forwarding service, has analyzed the results of more than 16,000 of its clients' campaigns (mailings that people actually wanted, like sales notices) to see how many of the messages were stopped by spam blockers or filed into spam folders. The results? Mass messages sent between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday are almost 10 percent less likely to reach their intended recipient.
