Change in Spring status

Change in Spring status 11/18/2003 06:42 PM
Robb Beal reports that he’s communicated to Spring users a change in status: “Spring development has slowed down dramatically and will continue to be sporadic going forward.”

This saddens me. Robb is a talented developer; Spring is an innovative application.

There are, it could be said, two types of innovative apps. NetNewsWire is one type—it takes a new technology (RSS) and gives it a user interface that’s familiar. Spring is the other type—Spring’s point is the user interface itself; it takes an idea and goes all the way with it. NetNewsWire is evolution; Spring is revolution.

It may be that these types of apps are created by different types of developers: I could never create something like Spring. (Though Robb could perhaps have created NetNewsWire.) And so I admire Robb and other developers with revolutionary, idealistic temperaments. They’re utterly necessary to the software ecosystem. (And I am not one of them.)

The unfortunate part is that the market doesn’t always reward apps like Spring. Apps like Spring are always much more of a gamble.

Bloggers are special. A jumble of slanted, shouting voices have overcome our airwaves, infiltrated our newspapers, filled every corner of our waking lives, and they aren't going to stop. It's affecting all of us. You may have noticed that every argument seems just a little more heated than the last--is it any surprise, when each one of has been listening just a little bit less? It's a sign of more to come. But now, people are listening to bloggers instead. Blogging is the populist response to the media hegemony: a sea of independent voices. ChangeThis is aiming to disrupt the media pattern with powerful, rational arguments from leading thinkers. We know that we deserve better than what we've got. We know there's a thoughtful, caring, rational human inside every one of us. We're working with the brightest minds we can find. And we believe that bloggers are crucial to changing the tone of our collective dialogue.

You remind me of those people who said they'd never get cell phones.

"I remember when everyone shouted into their cell phones and thought that their batteries drained faster when they made long distance phones. I remember when people (who now have cell phones) swore to me that they'd never have a cell phone. I remember when cell phones looked more like military radios. I think it's fine to gripe about technology, but I would warn those people who swear they'll never use a technology. Technology evolves and so do social norms.

We've been having a dialog recently about the relationship between social norms and technology. I think this is part of the same dialog. New technologies disrupt our habits and our norms and what we feel comfortable with. I am an early adopter type who uses every technology possible and I try to wrap my life around it all. Some people try the technology and point out the tensions. Some people ignore the technology. Technology evolves along with the social norms. When it works well, we end up with a technology that contributes to society in some way and becomes a seamless part of our social norms. When it doesn't work well it either damages society or does not integrate and is discarded." [Joi Ito's Web, emphasis above is mine]

Joi could have been talking about libraries and librarians. Think you'll never use IM for reference? Think ebooks will never go mainstream? Think you'll never need a wireless network at home or work?

Mitch Kapor: Korea and the Political Promise of the Net. For someone who looked ahead with optimism over a decade ago on the Net's role in revitalizing our democracy and helping create a more peaceful global community, the Net's first political steps are a very hopeful contrast in a world in which those prospects seem obscured in deepening shadows. The question is where do we go next?

Lindows to Change Name

Lindows to Change Name 04/09/2004 04:05 PM

Lindows.com - Michael's Minutes: Name Change: Lindows is changing their name because they're sick of getting sued. This is the right way to go. Far be it for me to defend Redmond, but the name was an obvious attempt to capitalize on Microsoft's market recognition. Besides, if your product is good enough, it should stand on its own. This gives them time and capital to fight other battles.

Gyford: How BB should change

Gyford: How BB should change 04/03/2005 01:24 PM
Cory Doctorow: My friend Phil Gyford has written an essay for his blog on what he sees as the style changes necessary for Boing Boing's future as a commercial venture. I don't agree with everything he's written, but I don't disagree with it all either, and I'll certainly take it to heart:

The second example is Boing Boing's post about a high-school principal who "banned blogging" because it "isn't educational". Part of the blame lies with the source story at the Rutland Herald whose over-eager sub-editors misleadingly headlined the story "High school bans blogging". In fact the school banned a single website and the principal simply issued a sensible warning about children weblogging -- as with any activity online, kids should be careful with the information they make public.

But Boing Boing got carried away with the newspaper's headline, repeating it in theirs even though a cursory read of the newspaper article reveals that no one "banned blogging". The newspaper claims the principal doesn't think blogging is educational, and Cory could certainly have criticised him for this alone, although it would make for a less dramatic post. The repetition of the lie about the principal banning blogging, rather than his apparent opinion, is possibly also what prompted a reader to suggest people should email the principal to complain.

Change is gonna come

Change is gonna come 02/01/2005 09:42 PM
I've been following some of the coverage of the Blog Credibility Conference at Harvard (from, Weinberger, Jarvis and Winer, among others). It continues to amaze me how much of this debate is a retread of the mid-'90s, when journalists first moved online and discovered that the Web moved really fast, had different norms, gave their readers new voices and made their own voices sound stuffy and institutional. First I think, "Come on already!"; then I think, "Oh, it's okay." Lessons that change one's professional habits need to be learned from experience, and a much wider population of journalists is being exposed to these changes now that blogging software has drastically expanded the universe of personal media.

This post by David Weinberger puts some of this in a smart perspective -- focusing, as I and many others often will, on the critical fact that the vast majority of blogs (like the vast majority of the Web itself) represents stuff created not to "aggregate eyeballs," build traffic, produce revenue, compete with the pros or otherwise challenge or replace the existing order of the media. People are building something fundamentally new, something that had no opportunity to exist before, and that will -- as all such new developments in media do -- end up changing but not replacing what's already here.

There's another disconnection between the "we're-changing-everything" bloggers and those newsroom veterans who don't understand what the fuss is about, and it has to do with scales of time. If you run a newspaper or a TV news operation you have spent your whole professional life in a stable structure, one whose supporting beams of business and technology have never fundamentally shaken or broken under you. The world of professional media has experienced such changes only across the span of a century. But the world of the technology business experiences big changes on a scale of decades -- an order of ten faster. Dominant companies rise and fall, new technologies change the rules of the game, and habits of doing business get tossed in the trash every 10-20 years instead of every 100-200 years.

As a lifelong professional journalist who jumped headfirst into the tech-industry world a decade ago, I've made my choice. I don't see getting anywhere by putting one's money on the idea that change in this field is going to slow down rather than speed up. Which means that, if I were sitting in a newsroom today, I might think it prudent to listen a little less to the voice that says, "Who are these upstarts telling me what's wrong with my work?" -- and a little more to the one that says, "Wouldn't it be fun to do things differently?"
