Barb Dybwad tells it like it is 04/06/2005 09:22 PM

I've been en joying reading Barb Dybwad over at the SocialSoftware-WeblogsInc . site. Yet another discovery of Judith Meskills (she also the one who turned me onto Peter Caputa) - Barb has been following 'community video' and now podcasting - asking simple questions like "do these technologies live up to their hype?"
I never worry about issues like that - but I'm sure others are.

So you go Barb - us communities need you to represent us.

He re's Barb's most recent post:

Engadget podcast icon - normal size

Yesterday we talked about the advent of social video and how that seems to be booming in the blogosphere. Podcasting, however, which has been on the scene longer (not to mention that audio enclosures have been around far longer than the term ‘podcasting’ has been around), came out in a blaze of glory when popularized late last year by Adam Curry and Dave Winer and yet — is it living up to the hype? Given that the cadre of optimistic technologists came out early with unrealistic claims about how podcasting would be the death of radio, but what exactly is realistic to predict for the growth of podcasting? Despite suspiciously overinflated (and later retracted) internet studies showing podcasting audiences in the multi-million range, not everyone is smoking the podcasting dope. So my question for you, dear readers, is this: are you smoking the dope? ;)



POSTLOG: There's a double reason why I included the Weblogs.inc ad in this story posting:

a) it shows that Jason Calacanis is making money.

b) I happen to really like Userplane as a company. We're using their technology with one of our clients.

Bill Clinton is "a little scared, but not much" of bypass surgery. Good for him. We need to make it safe to admit to honest fear. If that makes me a girlie man, then I take it as an accolade. Besides, while only 1-2% of bypass patients die, that's a lot higher risk than I'm facing today (knock wood, salt over the shoulder, and plant a smacker on Arnold's muscular lips)....

Thoughts on the Digital Lifestyle Aggregator

I am still hooked on Marc Canter’s concept of the Digital Lifestyle Aggregator. Think of it as a local node that lets us have the best of both worlds: the awesome informative and communicative power of the distributed internet, and the centralization/aggregation of those bits of information created by, or most relevant to, an individual person.

So now I want my DLA to have both a front end and a back end - a public and private view. The public view will contains all of the data bits I want to be social:

  • my bookmarks (an aggregate collection of del.icio.us, Furl, Spurl, and any future -url that may come into being)
  • my public photos (an aggregate of my Flickr photos and… well, no other service is worth mentioning, really ;))
  • my blogs (an aggregate of The Unofficial Apple Weblog, this blog, my business’s blog, my personal blog, all of my photoblogs, and all the future blogs…)
  • posts I have made on other blogs (see sidebar on this blog for a woefully incomplete list of conversations)
  • posts that I have made in message boards (trickier)
  • some sort of aggregate of my media collection, media tastes and/or media recommendations (pull in last.fm, musicmobs.com, Netflix’s social component, All Consuming, when will the itunes Music Store get a comprehensive social component? etc.)
  • public calendar, commentable. I want to broadcast where I’ll be, recommend events to others, and I want them to be able to recommend events to me.
  • extra-blog conversation interface: my blogs are driven by my own posts, but I want a way for my friends/colleagues to be able to initiate messages and questions for me, as well: publically and privately. A sort of email/message board hybrid.
  • An aggregate of my aggregates: syndicate my blogroll(s) for others to enjoy, and be able to leave local comments on. They can participate in any discussion on the external blog too, of course, but it would be cool to have the option to start up a more localized discussion on the post, as well.

On the private site of the DLA, I want aggregated everything that is relevant to interacting with my digital life: a centralized dashboard of sorts. It would include things like:

  • Interface to bank accounts, credit card accounts, other online bill payments
  • interface to all memberships and subscription services: Netflix, iTunes Music Store, etc.
  • Interface to my cell phone plans (I am on Sprint and Cingular now on two different phones): how many minutes I’ve used, how many remain, how many MMS/SMS messages I’ve sent on Cingular because they’re annoyingly stingy about that.
  • Interface to Gmail and to pop mail accounts via webmail
  • Interface to any online orders I’ve placed and their status (not processed, shipped, FedEx tracking #s, etc.)
  • Interface to all 8 gazillion social networking services of which I am a member or ‘user’
  • Drag and drop interface to post to Flickr
  • Blog posting interface to all blogs
  • Interface to my also imaginary AI bot agents who have been diligently scraping the web according to provided search terms and concepts (may as well shoot for the moon here, right? :))
  • A del.icio.us-style note-taking application that functions almost exactly the same way except: a) notes are not tied to URLs, they can just be freeform thoughts and b) each note has a public/private flag

I will undoubtedly think of more to add to this, so I’ll just keep building on this entry whenever the mood/inspiration strikes.

Governator calls foes "girlie men" who

Governator calls foes "girlie men" who
should be "terminated"
07/19/2004 11:32 PM
California's AGW (Actor-Governor-whatever) derided his opponents in a speech this weekend as "girlie men," and asked his supporters to "terminate" them at polls in November if they fail to approve his >$103 billion budget. I read this headline on a copy of the LA Times at a neighborhood Hollywood espresso filling station early Sunday morning -- and had a hard time believing my own baggy, sleep-deprived eyes.
The governor used the "girlie men" reference twice in a 16-minute speech aimed at pressuring the Legislature to pass his budget, now 17 days late. The remarks were apparently references to an old "Saturday Night Live" skit parodying Schwarzenegger. Comedians Dana Carvey and Kevin Nealon played "pumped-up" bodybuilders with Austrian accents who dismissed anyone without a muscled torso as a "girlie man."

Senate President Pro Tem John Burton (D-San Francisco) said he was "nonplused" by Schwarzenegger's comment. "I don't know what the definition of 'girlie man' is. As opposed to his being a he-man?" Burton asked. Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez (D-Los Angeles) said, "Those are the kinds of statements that ought not to come out of the mouth" of the governor. "He says he's going to 'terminate' members in November? I really don't know what he means by that. That's not funny any more," Nunez said.
