USAToday on bl0gs

USAToday on bl0gs 07/27/2004 04:19 PM

An intentionally naive question of mine gave the USAToday its lead for its story on blogging today. They play it as if I'd said "Shove it!" to a venerable, Pulitzer-Prize-winning journalist. Oh well. It could have been worse....

Phil Ringnalda: Sam will be delighted to know that they validate out of the box. Charles will be delighted to know that they include both Last-Modified and Etag headers, and apoplectic over the way that when presented with the proper If-Modified-Since and If-None-Match headers to reply to a request with a 304 Not Modified, they instead return a 200, with the exact same Last-Modified and Etag headers, and the exact same content. I would share Charles's concern.  On the plus side, I'm pleased to see utf-8 used consistently throughout (in both the content and the HTTP headers, and in both the html and feed).  I'm also delighted to see feed autodiscovery being used. If you have an aggregator, or are running one of those popular planet* type of sites where you republish a combination of the feeds of others, then you really should make sure that you pass these aggregator tests.

Are bl0gs just?


Are bl0gs just? 01/08/2004 08:04 PM

Lou Marinoff described one definition of Justice as "doing the right thing at the right time." He continued by explaining that it means you have to define "right thing".

There are at least eleven ways of being right.
  1. deontology - rules tell us what is right and wrong
  2. teleology - The end justifies (or sanctifies) the means
  3. virtue ethics - goodness comes from virtues, which are like habits
  4. humanistic existentialism - what we choose to do determines what we value
  5. nihilistic existentialism - "God is dead." And we killed him. So all moral bets are off
  6. analytic ethics - "Goodness" cannot be defined or analyzed
  7. correlative ethics - every right entails an obligation, and vice-versa
  8. sociobiology - ideas of "right" and "wrong" are motivated by our genes
  9. feminist ethics - women have different moral priorities: e.g. ethics of caring
  10. legal moralism - if it's legal, it's ethical
  11. meta-ethical relativism - each situation has its own unique ethical dimension

Aeons ago, Clay asserted that power-laws existed in blogs and that it was in-equal but fair. Maybe he is basically being a deontologists with a bit of legal moralism thrown in. The rules are fair so it's OK. Marko (a philosopher among other things) asks the question, "So the interesting question this raises is: What are the principles if satisfied that would show the blogging world to be a just institutional structure? And the meta-level question: How would we justify these principles to each other?" I know that Marko is an expert on "justice" and my simple explanation above is far to simple, but this dialog about whether blogs are fair, good or just forces us to examine what we mean by fair, right and just. I think that in order for us to justify these principles, we might need to define Virtue. (Since defining "right" is so difficult.) According to Lou:

Aristotle said that Virtue is the Golden Mean between two extremes. It was all about balance. "Rational" comes from "ratio". The idea was to triangulate from two extremes of vice. For example, Courage is the mean between cowardice and rashness.
I know Dave Winer likes the word "triangulation" and the blogs are good at that. Is it possible that blogs can help us get out of the echo chamber and achieve the Aristotelian Virtue of the Golden Mean? (I know many people disagree with this, but I continue to believe as I argued in my Emergent Democracy paper that this is possible.) da nah expresses her opinion that blogs are not an equalizing technology and that it is the a technology for the privileged. To her, fair (and probably just) isn't about having rules that are difficult to game, but rather about being available and designed to promote equality. She is probably more of a teleologist with a bit of correlative ethics and feminism thrown in. (Sorry, just playing with the labels a bit. Don't mind me.)

To finally tie it into the discussion about technological determinism vs social constructivism, I think we need to be aware that we have an active effect on how the architecture of this technology evolves. I don't think we can yet "show the blogging world to be a just institutional structure", but rather we can try to determine what is just and strive to make the blogging world into something we feel is just. This requires us to dive into some of the questions that even Aristotle didn't answer. What is right? What is just? Hopefully the tools themselves will help guide this discussion, but rather than be nihilistic or deterministic, I think we should be actively involved in a dialog that best represents a consensus of our views. In order for this to be just, we must try be as inclusive as possible of everyone and on this I agree with danah. The tool is not yet inclusive. I think that blogs are right in many ways, but are far from right in many others. How can we try to make blogs as right and just as possible. I think that this is the question that faces us today.

The Democrats have sent a msg to the faithful (including me) drawing our attention to some bad taste going on over at the W blog where they're quoting part of a Jack Dunphy column at Nationnal Review Online. The part quoted on the Bush site makes fun of the fire fighters and police officers who have come out in support of Kerry, saying that they're beer-bellied poseurs, not the working class, straight-talkin' rank and file. Big deal. It's some rabble-rousing flamery along the lines of calling Dean a Birkenstock-wearing, brie-eating, Volvo-driving, effete Liberal. It reads as dumb and emotive, but,...

Fortune on bl0gs and biz


Fortune on bl0gs and biz 01/03/2005 12:14 PM
Xeni Jardin: The impact of blogs on business is the subject of Fortune magazine's current cover story. BoingBoing is one of many "freewheeling blogs" mentioned, but the real reason to read it is this gem of a quote. Snip:

"If you fudge or lie on a blog, you are biting the karmic weenie," says Steve Hayden, vice chairman of advertising giant Ogilvy & Mather, which creates blogs for clients. "The negative reaction will be so great that, whatever your intention was, it will be overwhelmed and crushed like a bug. You're fighting with very powerful forces because it's real people's opinions."

Words to live by. Must. Respect. Karmic. Weenie. Snarks aside, David Kirkpatrick and Daniel Roth produced a really solid, thoughtful piece here, and it's well worth a read. Link to full text of article, for which (as Joi and others have pointed out) Fortune let go of their "paid registration only" policy.

postpoint.jpgDan Gillmor is reporting on Sony giving money to Nick Denton....

New Blog Gets Big Bucks

Ad Age (reg req): Sony Pays $25,000 a Month for Gawker Blog. Sony Consumer Electronics e-Solutions Group is the exclusive sponsor for the launch of LifeHacker, a blog that goes live today about the software of personal gadgetry by Gawker Media, according to the online company. The deal, which also includes placements on Gizmodo, Gawker's earlier gadget title, will cost Sony in the range of $25,000 a month, according to a source close to the deal. The sponsorship runs for about three months.
Well, there go the pay scales at Nick Denton's company...
I'm not nuts about the sole-sponsor ad model, but it's obviously going to be a wave of the future in personal journalism.

Lo ic also said that John Battelle mentioned in Davos that Boing Boing was making between $20k-$30k a month.

That's serious money. No wonder Jason Calacanis is complaining. He ain't making it.

Mark Frauenfelder: John Battelle is proposing a MusicPlasma for blogs, that is, a graphical way to map out the blogosphere by grouping related blogs. He's already got people interested in the idea.
Then I thought of MusicPlasma. The thing I like about it is how intuitive it is - put in the name of a band you like, and you find more that you might like but had never heard of.

Hey, I thought, what if we did that with blogs, and instead of Amazon data, we used Technorati cosmos data, or Feedster data, or Findory, or Bloglines, or some combination of all of that plus more?
