Syndication city
by Scott Rosenberg

I'm a late addition to a panel at the Supernova conference this Thursday, June 24: I'll be joining some very interesting people (Technorati's David Sifry; blogger, XML leader and now Sun engineer Tim Bray; and Paul Boutin of Wired and Slate). We're talking about syndication and RSS. The question the panel faces: "Is there more to syndication than reading 300 blogs at once?" What interesting, useful applications for RSS and RSS-like tools are out there or just around the corner?

I've got my own answer(s), but in the decentralized spirit of the conference, I'll open the floor here in comments, and present anything you folks suggest, too.

[Scott Rosenberg]

I have five questions/answers for Scott - I hope he picks me.....

1. How will the evolution of new kinds of micro-content, like Reviews, Events and music playlists - effect the existing blogosphere? A: it will enhance it, making it not onyl richer and deeper, but also make it more relevant to average people - who don't want or feel the need to blog, but who have opinions on movies, books and reataurants.

2. How will FOAF interconnect entire social networks, on-line communities and blogging tool userbases together? A: by enabling digital IDs that encompass multiple presences, end-users will be able to move freely from system to system without having to recreate their strong ties every time.

3. Finally - Salon was one of the first content sites to offer it's readership Blogs. Now that the AlwaysOn Network is also offering social networking - will Salon also offer social networking? I say - yes.

Email: to sign or not to sign? 01/22/2004 02:10 AM
If you participate in non-techno-geek mailing lists, and you also make a habit of "signing" your mail in compliance with the open standards articulated by RFC2015/3156, you've undoubtedly run into questions about what you're doing and possibly even criticism for doing it. At least that's been my experience over the past couple of years on mailing lists as low-tech as one dedicated to raising donkeys and mules and as high-tech as tech journalism. Well, on second thought, maybe those are both low-tech. But in any case, I've been asked to stop signing messages on both lists. The question is what to do: continue swimming upstream or give in and go with the flow?

Pick two

Pick two 04/05/2005 11:38 AM

I've always liked the old designer's adage of "good, fast, or cheap, pick two". That is, a project can be completed quickly, it can be done cheap, and it can be done well, but you need to choose which two of those you want. If you want a good project done quickly, it's gonna be expensive. Fast and cheap? It's gonna suck. In his talk at SXSW, Jason Fried outlined another pick two scenario clients need to be aware of: "fixed scope, fixed timeframe, or fixed budget". Here are some more variations:

Elegant, documented, on time.
Privacy, accuracy, security.
Have fun, do good, stay out of trouble.
Study, socialize, sleep.
Diverse, free, equal.
Fast, efficient, useful.
Cheap, healthy, tasty.
Secure, usable, affordable.
Short, memorable, unique.
Cheap, light, strong.

In considering these sets of trade-offs -- accepting that they are cliches and therefore both overly general but also fairly accurate across a range of diverse situations -- two questions come to mind.

• Why is "pick two out of three" the rule? Why not "one out of two" or "four out of six"? Or is "pick two out of three" just a cultural assumption?
• Is there some underlying scientific or economic relationship here? What do the situations in which "pick two" logic applies have in common? In clumsily casting about for an appropriate explanation/metaphor, I considered the triangle (all interior angles add up to 180 degrees), thermodynamics and entropy, Boyle's Law, Hooke's Law, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle (although that's a "one out of two" thing), Ohm's Law, and Newton's Second Law of Motion, but none seem to fit well.

I've poked around a bit online looking for discussions of "pick two" systems and have come up empty. Anyone have any ideas about this? Any good resources to check out? Something tells me I'm missing something obvious here. (Or onto something interesting.)

Kerry's Pick 07/06/2004 12:02 PM

John Kerry's naming of John Edwards as his preferred running mate makes sense. It's the safe choice. Whether it's the smart one remains to be seen. Edwards' blatant economic protectionism during the primary campaign is a worry, though. Kerry has been a free trader for the most part. He need to make clear that he won't go for the protectionist stuff his rivals were advocating.

Let The Web Pick Your Presidential
Candidate 01/28/2004 03:25 AM
Because no one can make up their mind any more without the support of a computer telling them it's okay, there are now a ton of websites out there where you can answer a bunch of multiple choice questions and it will tell you who to vote for. Of course, all three "tests" linked from the article had very bad questions that painted certain issues in very black and white tones - without getting into the reasons why these issues are complex issues that can't be answered with a simple "oppose" or "favor". Also, I wonder how useful any of them are - since each one gave me very different results. Maybe that means I shouldn't vote and should leave such things up to those who do see complex issues as black and white.
