The Washington Post does RSS -- badly
The Washington Post does RSS -- badly
04/16/2004 03:44 AMI grew up in Washington, DC, and even after 20 years on the West
Coast, I am used to reading the Washington Post daily, even as it has
slowly transformed itself from the anti-establishment hero of
Watergate in my youth to the neoconservative Republican paper of
today. I have displayed its headlines on my personal news page for
years, and use the headlines to pick which stories and columns to read
online every day. Today the format of the headlines on my site changed
drastically. The good news? The Washington Post finally started
offering official Washington Post RSS feeds. No longer do I have to
rely on Mike Krus' excellent NewsisFree services to get Washington
Post headlines. I can go directly to the horse's mouth. The bad news?
The RSS feeds are crippled. Each one has only a few headlines -- for
example the Top News feed and the Opinions feed each currently have
only 3 headlines. So now I only get some of the stories on the front
page, not all of them. And where are the columns by my regular
columnists, Colbert King, David Ignatius, and Richard Cohen (now that
he has regained his senses)? The headlines also have the inane text
(www.washingtonpost.com) at the end of each linked headline, as though
anybody clicking on the linked headline would be taken somewhere else.
It looks like something that would have been put on the web in 1995,
not 2004. This is a really foolish way for them to put content out to
people -- it is one of those cases where halfway is worse than none.
By having only some but not all of the top headlines, they make it
less likely, not more likely, that people outside Washington will rely
on Post for news. By putting the stupid (www.washingtonpost.com) in
every headline, instead of just the first or last one, they make it
less likely that someone will want to display their headlines on their
site. My guess, from years of reading the Post and reading about the
Post, is that it is the result of political infighting inside the Post
between people afraid of giving away their content, and people who see
the value of syndicating headlines as a way of increasing influence
and getting more people to read the Post online. It certainly looks
like a typical Washington political compromise, ugly and satisfying
neither opponents...

11/10/2003 11:06 PMSome of the things I'm thinking about at the moment - at work and
not at work - that I'm having real trouble articulating for some
reason but that maybe I can do something with if I set some of them
free:
- Collaborative online experiences for friends, small groups,
one-on-one interactions - going places to do things with friends,
co-browsing, co-experiencing, what it's like being at the cinema with
a friend, backgrounded/instinctual non-verbal communications,
presence-and-flocking, hello, Non-stranger-spaced, non-subject-focused
discussions, tiny
permeable-membrane reducers, three degrees;
- Routinely time-shifted media, ubiquities of recording and
collation technologies, "Death of live", time-based design and the end
of time-based content, programming in the middle of the night is as
important as during the middle of the day, navigating insane
scheduling information, worn paths, distribution technologies,
bittorrent;
- Simplicities of structures, metadatas, identifiers, organisational
principles, multi-use tags, clumpings, technological strata versus
social orders;
- Leaderships, relationships, political managements, social
engagement as game, rules of games, message-boards as prime structural
spaces to test political systems, American free-market reputation
economies, capturing ill-formed relationships, alpha behaviour,
dominance, leadership, leader-led vs. leader-less groups;
- Information in the air, tiny LCD screens, scrolling data printed
on milk-cartons, teddy bears that react to the weather, Ceefax,
smoke-alarms, application-updates through the radio...
Gah. I can't think properly. Too much stuff piling up unexpressed.
Too many things I'm not expressing properly. Too many opportunities
not to produce stuff of suitable quality and value.

STIMULATING
AND MEASURING CANADIAN INNOVATION --
BADLY
STIMULATING
AND MEASURING CANADIAN INNOVATION --
BADLY
09/18/2004 05:31 AM
It
is a strange irony that the people who study innovation seem to be
rather unimaginative at finding ways to stimulate it and measure it.
Two new Canadian studies retread tired old ground in this regard.
First, a Canadian federal government National Summit on innovation came up with these 18 lame 'priority
recommendations' (I'm paraphrasing):
- Strengthen business-university
relationships
- More university research
- More government
funding of commercialization
- Eliminate capital
taxes
- Enhance research tax credits
- Enhance investment
tax credits
- Accelerate deregulation
- Fund more literacy
improvement programs
- Teach problem-solving in
schools
- More student loans
- More university student
capacity
- More training programs for
minorities
- Facilitate more workplace training
- Ease
immigration for students and professionals
- More encouragement
of municipal innovation programs
- Improve networks between
research organizations
- Expand broadband access
- More learning
investment in rural areas
Most of these brilliant ideas entail throwing taxpayer money at
corporations, both directly and through subsidized public sector
research that directly benefits private companies. The truth is that a
substantial majority of Canada's largest companies are owned by
foreign
(mostly US) parents who mostly treat their Canadian operations as
low-labour-cost branch plants that distribute products and services
designed at head office and built in the third world. Although the
research capacity in Canada is comparable to the world's best, and is
cheaper than in the US or Western Europe, there's no way Head Office
is
going to move its precious research function to the Canadian boonies.
Many, many Canadian subs are housed in shabby, poorly-maintained,
cheap
premises using machinery and software cast off from Head Office when
they upgraded, and run by managers sent to Canada because they weren't
assessed as good enough to run Head Office divisions. If you think
that's harsh, talk to any of the millions of Canadians working for
fawning, ineffectual foreign bosses. And despite these disadvantages,
many Canadian 'branches' significantly outperform their Head Office
divisions, largely because their Canadian workforces are smarter, more
resourceful, and -- yes -- more innovative than the Head Office drones.
So the real answer to Canada's poor innovation performance (according
to the following measurements, about which I will talk in a moment) is
to take back Canada's economy -- phase in 51% Canadian ownership and
Canadian management requirements for all businesses over a certain
size. Require profits made in Canada to remain in Canada, by imposing
a
100% tax on cross-border distributions. Scrap NAFTA. And if you want
to
stimulate innovation, invest in the people that live and die by
innovation -- entrepreneurs. Their profits stay in the community, get
reinvested, and create jobs. By all means subsidize those
entrepreneurs
to do their research at Canadian universities -- you better believe
that research will be focused on commercial opportunity.
OK, now let's look at how the Science Council of British Columbia proposes
to measure
innovation, to determine whether we need more wringing of hands in
another Innovation Summit next year over our 'poor' performance. You
thought the Feds' list was bad -- check this one out:
- Percent of population completing university
- Science
and engineering degrees per 100,000 people
- Grade 8 average
math and science standardized test scores
- Research workforce
per 100,000 people
- Science workforce per 100,000
people
- Percentage of immigrants with university
education
- Total R&D expenditures as a percentage of
GDP
- Sectoral R&D expenditure as a percentage of
GDP
- Business funding as a percentage of university
R&D
- Scientific publications per 100,000
people
- Patents issued per 100,000 people
- University
technology licensing revenue
- Venture capital investment per
100,000 people
- Percentage of manufacturers deemed 'innovative'
by Statistics Canada
- New business starts per 100,000 people
- Tax
rate of people with $80,000 of earned income
- Corporate tax
rate
- Percentage of R&D expenditures
tax-subsidized
- Total business investment as a percentage of
GDP
- Percentage of households using the
Internet
- Percentage of households using home
computers
- Percentage of establishments in 'high
tech'
- Real GDP per labour hour in the private
sector
- Real GDP per capita
- Employment
rate
- Real average hourly earnings
- Total exports per
capita
If this is how government measures performance, it's no wonder
people
are jaded about government efficiency (though I confess I've seen
corporate balanced scorecards that are just as bad). This list makes
no
mention whatsoever of entrepreneurship, which even big corporation
defenders like Peter Drucker admit is the main driver of innovation.
Even #15 is unrefined -- most new business 'starts' are numbered
companies, very often affiliates of existing corporations set up for
accounting or tax purposes, or passive investment holding companies.
This is no measure of entrepreneurship. And a lot of business
investment (#19) is in things like replacement equipment and building
premises (in Canada, most often warehouses), so this index will tell
you more about the price of real estate than the state of innovation.
A
more intelligent set of measures, as in the previous list, would
include measures of true entrepreneurship -- the percentage of GDP
generated by independent business (excluding franchises), and the
number of graduating students starting new ventures, for example.
Canadians are quite probably the most innovative people (relative to
our size) on Earth. Many of the most successful software companies in
the world were started by Canadians. We nearly dominate the ranks of
the world's best comedians, female singer-songwriters, and women
novelists. We have a disproportionate number of Nobelists. A recent
survey found that on average each dollar invested by non-Canadians in
a
Canadian-invented patent generates $40,000 in revenue for the
patent-buyer. We're world leaders in renewable energy research. I
could
go on, but that would be bragging, and that wouldn't be Canadian.
So why do we beat ourselves up over meaningless measures of our
innovation 'uncompetitiveness'? Perhaps because we're ashamed to admit
that we sell ourselves short. We work hard for unappreciative and
often
rapacious foreign bosses who take the money we earn for them with our
ingenuity and run. We have lost control of our own economic destiny,
which may lead inexorably to a loss of our political and social
autonomy as well. If we spent half the time and energy (and money)
trying to stimulate and measure our economic autonomy that we spend
trying (not very competently) to stimulate and measure 'innovation'
we'd be much further ahead -- by any measure.
