Blogger's New Look

Blogger's New Look 05/10/2004 12:14 AM

Blogger has been remade in some fairly serious ways. It's not state of the art, but it's a big step forward for some folks, who just want to do a blog with fewer speed bumps.

ETCon Photos are here. Nothing too exciting happening tonight, which is good as I'm self-imposed exile in my hotel room cramming for my tutorial tomorrow.

I did get blown off simultaneously by Howard Rheingold, Dan Gilmore and Esther Dyson a while ago in the lobby. You've got to admit, there's not a lot of conferences where that can happen. (I chose a pretty bad time to introduce myself I think... I'm not particularly good at those things. Russ Beattie: Expert Schmoozer.)

Blogger's RSS Decision: Atom Only

Blogger's RSS Decision: Atom Only 05/10/2004 01:23 PM

(Geek alert: This may be boring to people who don't care about the innards of technology.) I'm sorry to see that Blogger's latest incarnation doesn't support multiple kinds of syndication formats, and is going with Atom only. It would be trivially easy to do so. (Blogger Pro users can still create RSS 1.0 feeds, as I understand things.) A couple of months ago, someone from the Blogger team suggested to me that this was a server issue -- that several million users creating more than one kind of XML file would somehow be problematic from a resources standpoint. Really? A problem for the company with (best guess) 100,000 servers and plans to offer anyone who wants it a gigabyte of disk space for e-mail? Google has a right to do this, just as UserLand has a right not to support Atom (and Movable Type not to support RSS 2.0 and so on). It would be nice to see a resolution to this fork in the RSS road, though.

Joi Ito on bl0gger's block, collapsing
facets and the number 150 12/22/2003 07:45 PM
Joi suffers from collapsing identity facets and the tendency to be more conservative about what you write the more people read your blog. It's a fascinating problem. This happened to me years ago, when my site went from something a few friends and strangers read to investors and business partners and critics and press and I stopped saying personal stuff—and probably stopped saying interesting stuff. (Though I had a fraction of the exposure and contexts as Joi, I have a lower threshold.) Sometimes I just stopped saying stuff.

Female bl0gger's first-person sex column
causes ruckus in China

Female bl0gger's first-person sex column
causes ruckus in China 12/02/2003 01:42 AM
NY Times piece on 25-year-old Chinese blogger Mu Zimei, whose sexually explicit first-person accounts have generated controversy -- and celebrity -- for the former magazine columnist. Snip:

What changed everything was her decision in April to start her own online blog at a new Chinese site for personal diaries. She said she thought it would be fun. While writing her magazine column, she had hopped from man to man, sometimes hopping to two men at once, sometimes hopping to married men. Her topics, though, remained more thematic than explicit.

But in her online diary, she began writing explicitly about these encounters, or those of her friends, and on July 26 described her brief and apparently unsatisfying liaison outside a restaurant with a famous guitarist in a Guangzhou rock band. The entry was posted at a popular online discussion board, spread among China's "netizens" like wildfire and was quickly picked up in the gossipy newspapers that feed China's growing celebrity culture. Eventually, she was featured in China's edition of Cosmopolitan magazine.

Link. Zimei isn't the first female writer in China to raise eyebrows over sexually explicit autobiographical work -- check this link for background on Mian Mian. (thanks, Invi sible Cowgirl)

Blowback: The Cost And Consequences of
American Empire plus War And Conflict In
The Post-Cold War, Post-9/11 Era

Blowback: The Cost And Consequences of
American Empire plus War And Conflict In
The Post-Cold War, Post-9/11 Era 03/13/2003 10:25 AM
Chalmers Johnson is an provocative proponent of the American Empire theory, indeed. Here are excerpts from his Blow Back: The Cost And Consequences of American Empire

I heard Johnson interviewed on Episode II, War And Conflict In The Post-Cold War, Post-9/11 Era of The Whole Wide World

The Cold War and its central conflict - the physical and ideological battles between the United States, the Soviet Union and their proxy states - imposed a certain logic and consistency on the world. Take that away and add the bloody wars in the Balkans, Africa and the Middle East in the ‘90s as well as the terror attacks and warnings of more recent times and you get a very confused picture of a world at war. Is this breaking storm in Iraq about oil, democracy, freedom, empire, culture, water, diamonds, modernizing Islam or nation building in the Middle East? Some, one or all of these things?

It was an excellent program and well worth your listen, either by RA now or mp3 later. (From listening to the radio)

THE
BLOGGER'S ROLE IN THE MEDIA

THE
BLOGGER'S ROLE IN THE MEDIA 01/22/2004 02:12 AM

Yesterday I received a delightful note* from Shoshana Zuboff, author of The Support Economy, which describes what I listed as one of the most important political & economic ideas of 2003. Newsweek editor Fareed Zakaria, who wrote The Future of Freedom, wrote to me last fall about my review of his book on these pages. And I've communicated recently with one of the editors at Fast Company. I didn't take the initiative in any of these communications. The fact that leading writers and journalists know we bloggers exist, and take the time to thank us and clarify their thoughts (and ours) in correspondence with us, comes as something of a surprise to me. It is at once sobering and flattering that we even appear on their radar screens -- there are, after all, millions of us, and, at least in this corner of the blogosphere, we're not even A-listers. I think in fact we play a much more important role in the media than we might think. That role is a result of the power of our networks, which are more dynamic, sensitive and agile than those of print journalists and book writers. We can sense quickly and effectively when there's something happening -- a shift in public consciousness or attitude, a new issue or idea gaining traction -- because of our connectedness, because of the strength of weak ties and those ties' ability to create at least small tipping points. If the mainstream media are the stomach of the media beast, its power plant, we are its antennae. This role provides us with both opportunities and responsibilities we might not realize. The opportunity depends, of course, on what your blog is about, but there should be some general principles that apply to any of us in this periphery of the information society. Here are a few ideas on how bloggers could connect better with other media, and perhaps raise our profile and expand our role in the process: Tell the media you're talking about them: If you cite a writer in your blog, and do anything more substantial than just link to something they've written, let them know. Even if it only brings results 10% of the time, invite them into the conversation. Many professional writers have no idea what blogging is about, and you can really open their eyes to the opportunities for connection and idea exchange. Find their personal e-mail addresses: Work to bring print and audio-visual media writers into our networks: Try to dig out their e-mail addresses, encourage them to post them at the bottom of their articles, the endpages of their books, the bottom of the screen, the end of the broadcast, the media company's website. Letters to 'the editor' or to 'the network' or to 'the program' just don't cut it any more. We want to get personal. Once you've got their e-mail address, use it, but do so sparingly and always send them something they can use. Make it easier for them to reach you: We bloggers need to do a better job of identifying our own e-mail addresses on our sites, so that mainstream media people can find them without looking for cryptic symbols in the corners of our pages. Offer to collaborate: Volunteer to play a role in a favourite writer's follow-up or next article or next book. Feed them ideas, briefly, thoughtfully, as often as they occur, but but don't take it personally if they don't respond. Writers have lots of irons in the fire, and often live hand to mouth. Malcolm Gladwell's recent article on SUVs and learned helplessness was mentioned as a project in progress in an interview he gave five years ago. And remember they work for editors, and even if your contact likes your idea doesn't mean it will necessarily see the light of day. Make yourself available: If you have the gift of speaking impromptu, the media are always looking for articulate subject matter experts who can give them quick sound bites on controversial issues. Just make sure you think before you speak! Don't exaggerate or misrepresent: Identify and respect your sources, but don't be afraid to volunteer your own opinion. And never, ever, make anything up, or lie about your sources or your own credentials. You'll get caught, and you'll be toast. Do the work that they can't: Understand that their writers make their living from what they do, and are very unlikely to pay you, or even share much credit with you, and don't want you writing the story for them. They do want you to do their research for them, however -- most writers today don't have time or budget to do investigative reporting, chase unsubstantiated leads, do background work, or double-check facts. They need people to do that for them, ideally for free. Not very glamorous, admittedly. Or profitable. But it builds on our strengths -- connection, knowledge skills, research skills, numbers, breadth, time. Yeah, I know -- what we really do well is write. What we really want is a column in the big papers, or the monster magazines, with a book deal on the side. Patience. The mainstream writers are just discovering us. The editors will take a little longer. * I wrote: Idea #8: The next economy will support consumers holistically to solve their problems, not just sell them products - In her book The Support Economy, Shoshana Zuboff argues that what is needed is a new economic layer, a 're-intermediation', between the producer and consumer, which consists of 'federations' of businesses and 'advocates' who work collaboratively to look after the busy consumer's needs cradle-to-grave and deal with the multiple suppliers in the product/service delivery process. I confess I don't share the author's exuberance that such 'support' will be affordable by any except the rich elite. Professor Zuboff replied: Federated support networks are not intended as a reintermediation or as an additional "layer". If that were the case, then your skepticism would be well founded. It would cost too much. You can't preserve the status quo and just add another layer, we will all drown in cost and administration and end up further away from the support we desire. Sometimes even the book's most avid fans think of advocates as some kind of super concierge. I suppose because that's the closest model we know that can help us imagine "support". But concierge services exist to buffer us from the adversarial DNA of the enterprise system. Our argument is that the conditions are ripe for the emergence of a new system with wholly different DNA. It won't need buffers, or layers, because it is either fundamentally aligned with my needs, or it fails. Federated support networks exploit the digital medium to eliminate the administrative hierarchy we just spent 100 years building and expanding. That's what we call "infrastructure convergence", and without it there is no way to think radically about new cost structures. We needed that hierarchy, or at least some of it, when these integrative technologies didn't exist. We don't need it now.(this is the history of the literature on transaction costs, and Chandler's basic point.) The key issue now is the way in which a distributed model, now made possible by technology, can subsume the old models based on concentration. That is the step function that can eliminate massive cost and allow the whole enterprise system to be reconceived and reorganized around the needs of individuals and families, instead of around products or services. As Seymour Melman demonstrated half a century ago, managers are never going to stand in line to give up all the stuff that reports to them. These institutions probably can't be rescued from the downward spiral in their entirety (some assets will survive, but reconfigured). We need new ways of starting, just like Ford did a century ago. I also really appreciated the Fast Co. Wal-Mart piece, and especially the way it vividly illustrated this endgame.

A BLOGGER'S
CHRISTMAS WISH LIST

A BLOGGER'S
CHRISTMAS WISH LIST 12/19/2004 02:54 PM

11.	A simple way to simultaneously send new blog articles, as they are posted, to any number of user-maintained, editable e-mail lists (from which people could easily unsubscribe, of course).
10.	An automatically maintained Table of Contents with one-sentence abstracts for each of your blog posts, editable by you and sortable by your readers by title, date, and category/sub-category.
9.	A simple, meaningful measure of total readership, that weighs blog hits, visits, average duration of stay, RSS subscriptions, inbound blogs, e-mail subscriptions, and visits to copies of your posts on aggregators.
8.	An ability to create standing-order 'profiles' for all blogs, as you now can for newsfeeds, so that you can receive a single daily e-mail or web page that aggregates everything posted that day, anywhere in the blogosphere, on a specific topic or containing specific keywords or phrases.
7.	A gigabyte or two of free storage on the hosted blog server, so you can keep a copy of your entire My Documents folder on the server, link to anything in it from your blog without having to FTP a copy, and be able to access your entire 'e-filing cabinet' from any computer anywhere anytime.
6.	An easy migration path from the asynchronous, polished anonymity of the blog to the real-time, one-to-one, face-to-face or voice-to-voice, halting interactive iterative intimacy of other media, media that move you from talk to action.
5.	Inclusion of our posts, if we want them to be, in Google News.
4.	More first-person accounts, first-hand news, live photos and reports, and investigative reporting in the blogosphere.
3.	A blogging tool so simple even our parents can maintain one.
2.	No more fear of your blog or your computer crashing and irretrievably losing everything you've written on your blog.
1.	The end of the terms 'weblog', 'blog' and 'blogger', and to be simply called An Online Journalist.

How to hack Blogger

How to hack Blogger 06/29/2004 05:48 AM
Blogger has published an article on how to hack the service to add greater customization by tweaking its template vocabulary:

For instance, most of our default templates display archive links in a list. But really, the archive tags simply provide the names and URLs of all the archive files, and we can do whatever we want with them. Do you know how to make a pull-down menu in HTML? Think that might be a more efficient format for your three years of daily archives? Great! Move the archive tags out of the list and into a menu.
