Are Encyclopedias The Slide Rules Of The
Internet Age? 03/08/2004 11:04 PM
Growing up, we had a set of Collier's Encyclopedia's stored on a bookshelf in the basement - which was tremendously useful to be in looking up information for school reports. While I haven't paid much attention to encyclopedias for years, it comes as no surprise to find out that the encyclopedia business is struggling to remain relevant. The big sets of books have pretty much lost all interest to consumers, who know there's a big internet out there of information. While even CD-ROM based encyclopedias did well for a few years, they've also lost out to the internet. The surviving encyclopedia companies are still trying to figure out how to make online information pay - and they're having just as much trouble convincing users why they should bother to use an encyclopedia, rather than just use the entire internet and a search engine as their encyclopedia of choice. Of course, the information in an encyclopedia is professionally edited and much more likely to be accurate. However, for many people, that's not enough to make it worth paying for. I'm also surprised that an article on changes in the encyclopedia business can completely ignore the impact that things like Wikipedia are having on the business as well. The standard pricing refrain applies: if you want to supply something online, understanding the competitive situation is very important. If others can provide a product that is just as good for most users' needs for free, you're going to have a lot of difficulty convincing anyone to pay for it.

MSJVM Transition FAQ

MSJVM Transition FAQ 12/15/2003 11:40 PM
A list of programs and websites that are known to depend on the MSJVM will be made available from Microsoft in early 2004. Moving forward, Microsoft is working with the publishers of these programs and websites to remove the requirements for the MSJVM. Businesses may also have custom programs which may have been developed internally or by a software vendor or consultant that may have dependencies on the MSJVM. If your business relies on such programs, you should check with your developer, consultant, or software vendor to understand if there are any dependencies on the MSJVM, and to learn what steps you should take to minimize these dependencies and the potential impact on your business.

Moments of transition

Moments of transition 07/19/2004 04:56 PM
Had my last riding lesson today. I'm going to Iceland in three weeks, so I'm taking a short break before that. Darn, one gets really attached to those horses. Even though I only was there for six weeks, I strangely enough already miss them . Especially these two. *sigh*

The syrupy moment of the day: When Outi was last week, a friend of mine brought us lollipops - heart-shaped, of course - but they were forgotten in the bags. So, today, we chatted on IRC and enjoyed those lollipops, knowing that the other person was doing the same thing far away.

I'm degenerating rapidly, and decomposing into sugar and honey. Whee :)

Transition from Entrepreneurial to
Professional management 07/14/2004 01:18 PM

Barak Berkowitz is now the CEO is SixApart.

Andrew Anker is also part of the team. They just formed SixApart EMEA.

NOW maybe they can focus on improving their FOAF, supporting the FOAFnet and helping us form OpenReviews, OpenEvents, OpenMedia, OpenListings, OpenResume and (I hope Meg's favorite form of micro-content) - OpenRecipe.

I guess the only standard we won't have will be OpenSesame.

I have known Barak since 1980. I was a young nerd looking for a card for my Apple II (pre IIe era) and he was standing behind the counter at Macy's computer section.

I'd often go and just hang out, trying out software and kibbitzing. I ran into Barak several times while he was at Apple and when he and Joi approached me - right before Neoteny laucnhed their fund - I whole heartidly supported their idea of helping SixApart - grow up.

Well they did.

Congrats to all involved.....

Iraq In Transition: Vortex or Catalyst? (PDF)
A key message of the report is that should Iraq fragment, a sectarian struggle between the Shi’a majority and Sunni minority is more likely to flare up in the context of a political breakdown. Al Qaeda and other militant Sunni groups will contribute to the polarisation between Sunnis, Shi’a and other religious groups in Iraq. A fragmented Iraq could provide a breeding ground for new militant factions, both Islamist and non-Islamist. Press release
