A Business Information Publication
Standard and Google's Power to Make It
Happen
A Business Information Publication
Standard and Google's Power to Make It
Happen
08/30/2004 03:17 PMIt's time we extend the robots.txt concept to information about
businesses.
First, let's take a quick detour into robots.txt for a second
—
In order to tell a search engine how to spider a Web site (or not),
webmasters can stick a text file called "robots.txt" in their root
directory with information spiders can use. This works because it's
useful and it's ridiculously simple — everyone sticks the same
file, named the same thing, in the same place. It's so simple, it
can't NOT work.
MT-Blacklist
does the same thing. You can put your blacklist in a text file called
"blacklist.txt" in the root of your site so people can see what you're
blocking.
For the sake of standards, it is recommended that the file
be named blacklist.txt and reside in the root directory of your
website. The possible network effect here is certainly
delicious.
This isn't complicated — stick the same info in the same
place and people will know where to get it.
Okay, back to the point —
Lets make up an XML spec for information about your business. Like
this:
<business_info>
<name>Deane's House of
Pancakes</name>
<address>1600
Pennsylvania Ave</address>
<tag_line>We
make round, fluffy crap.</tag_line>
<hours>
<monday>
<open>0900</open>
<close>2200</close><
br /> </monday>
[etc]
Obviously, this is absurdly simple, but you get the idea. You
could have fields for your business phone number, fax number, general
email, directions on how to get to your office, stock ticker symbol,
customer service phone number, etc. Essentially, anything anyone
would want to know about your business and for which they would (1)
have to look up on your Web site, or (2) make a phone call to your
receptionist.
Now, lets all put this file in the root of our Web site and call it
"info.xml." That way we all know where it is, and we can all retrieve
it. Now, every business has a common URL pattern where a program can
find easily digestable information about the business. It's not hard
to imagine what we could do with this.
For instance, Outlook could parse the domain name of the email
address of all your contacts, go looking for this file for each one,
then store the information with the contact (refreshing it every 30
days or so).
Online white and yellow pages could have a field day with it
— you just give them your URL, and all your information is
self-updating. Search engines could present this information
alongside search results for your company. Etc.
Of course, this only works if everyone does it. And here, my
friends, is the one, single thing that would have to happen for
everyone to do it: Google adopts it. That's it. If Google announced
tomorrow that they were going to do something like this, and released
the spec for it, we'd see info.xml files start to hit the Web within a
few hours. We'd have massive saturation within a month.
Google is already pushing beyond search with localization results.
They're nailing down addresses of sites they visit, then presenting them
in graduated radii from the city center.
Why not eliminate the parsing step and just ask people to put their
actual address in a file in a common location? And while they're at
it, have them put a bunch more information there as well. Once search
engines starting spidering and parsing this stuff, it's amazing the
level of detail and accuracy you could get for online directories and
other business information sources.
And, again, the only thing standing between this idea and reality,
is Google. Google is such a juggernaut that they could — in the
words of Jean Luc Picard — "make it so" just by announcing
that they wanted to it to happen. Companies would fall all over
themselves to deliver it. Like Microsoft, Google is in a position to
drive standards simply by virtue of its position.
So, Google, snap to it. The world is waiting.

Congrats Matt on getting offered two jobs! I've heard from a few other
people who went through both interviews and didn't get offered
anything. The job market up here in the Pacific Northwest is still a
pretty difficult one to manuever. Maryam interviewed again last week
with Microsoft and hasn't gotten an offer. So, to get two offers is
pretty good indeed. We had dinner with Matt the night of his
interviews and we both could see why he'd get two offers. He's bright.
Interesting. Nice to be around. Can't wait to have more dinners with

04/04/2005 04:28 AMIn the spirit of fuller liner notes and proper
attribution, I'd like to take a few minutes to point out a few
things I am particularly grateful for -- specific accomplishments of
specific Creative Commoners that may not have yet been attributed
fully enough to them.
(I tried to
start doing this a few months ago, but work pulled me back into
the vortex.)
Matt
Haughey has been at Creative Commons since April 2002; we've
worked together since the very beginning. Anyone who knows Matt's
presence and prominence online knows that Creative Commons' early
growth -- among bloggers, in particular -- would not have been the
same without him. He's been the ideal liaison to social software
developers and companies (like Flickr), and less visibly and
glamorously, the backbone to CC's own internal communications tech.
He's also, on top of the regular and heavy stream of UI and
information design work, done hundreds if not thousands of
tight-deadlined designs, at all possible hours of the day, for things
as different as CD covers (e.g.) and
Featured Commoner spreads (e.g.).
Matt has also, with DeMaggio-like consistency, pointed blog readers
to some of the coolest Creative Commons content with his Featured
Content of the Week posts (e.g.: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.)
Matt took our website from looking like this, to this, to this, to this, to the site's stunning design today.
This speaks for itself.
And in case it doesn't, and in case I haven't said it expressly
enough (which I probably haven't), thanks to Matt for all of this and
more.

Dude - blockquotes are so HTML. Have I told you how
much I hate HTML?
How we were set backwards in 1994 - afer all those years of moving
forward towards beinging media into people's lives? Napster kind of
made upf or that - but in general - the HTML web is a straw sipping
dial-up waiting, lo-res experience.
I'm sorry - I just can't draw myself into accepting that - I'm too
dam old.
Anyway - I owe you a phone call - but I through I'd spell out in
public what we'll talk about in private (after I get back from seeing
my middle son star in "Oklahoma".)
1. Folks have been asking for FOAF in WordPress. You
joined our FOAFnet Wiki - so you must be interested. BTW I'm
totally jazzed that you're supporting ESF and ENT!
2. I also have been dealing with other blogging tools who have been
trying to figure out "how much" FOAF to support.
3. Some blogging tools are adding friends capabiltiies,
others adding groups, still others have blog tools coupled to content
sites and game databases. So it's happening. Just as I
predicted. For every kind of everything - they'll be a
social network/digital identity play associated with it.
4. So you get to decide how far you want WordPress to
go. You can just make your FOAF the 'About Me'
page. That's cool. Info on the blogger, easily discoverable. No
more confusion over who's the blogger (unless of course the blogger
doesn't want anybody to KNOW who he/she is.)
5. Or you can go further. Build basic friends or groups
- or go whole hog - build the entire PeopleAggregator within
WordPress. Commons page. Public and Private pages.
Group, multiple relationships, multiple personalities. All for
the taking.

Matt Haughey raps it out....
Matt Haughey raps it out....
07/23/2004 04:34 AMTiVo: you can only innovate if the NFL and MPAA say so
Today's
Washington Post carries a
jaw-dropping article about TiVo's latest fight [via waxy]. Tivo
ToGo was announced at CES in January of this year, with a planned
Fall release, but if the Movie Industry and the NFL get their way, it
will never see the light of day.
What is most shocking about the objections is that TiVo ToGo is an
already crippled version of something TiVo hackers and users of
software PVRs like Windows Media Center and Snapstream have been doing
for years now. See that huge ugly plastic dongle pictured in the upper
right? That's your user "key" that makes sure only
your TiVo programs can play on your
PC or laptop. I haven't seen or tested this functionality out, but I'm
sure those programs are encrypted to the point that they are
unplayable on any device that doesn't also have the hardware key
plugged in. I wouldn't be surprised if the video format is a
proprietary one as well. TiVo is also talking about adding a
show swapping feature, which is great news, but you will have
a limit of ten other devices that you can share with (ReplayTV used to
let you swap with an unlimited amount of other users, which got them
sued until they went bankrupt and removed it).
Simply put, compared to how Microsoft's offerings work, and a slew
of small software packages for the PC and Mac that record TV, the TiVo
ToGo feature is a crippled lockbox. You won't be sharing shows on
Kazaa anytime soon with TiVo ToGo features.
The NFL and MPAA are attacking both the show extraction feature,
claiming it will allow programs to propigate online, and the show
sharing features, claiming TiVo owners will share them with more than
their friends. Their nightmare scenario is that maybe, possibly,
someday someone you don't know might ask for a copy of an obscure
program you happened to have recorded and saved. Oh, the horror of it
all!
For no other reason than it points out how insane this is, here are
some priceless quotes:
TiVo was one of 13 companies that asked the FCC for
approval, arguing that its copy-protection system met the
requirements. The Motion Picture Association of America, Hollywood's
lobbying arm, and the NFL then filed objections to TiVo's
plan.
First off, how much does is suck that TiVo can't just think of new
features and build them, but they have to ask for permission from the
FCC? Can't a company innovate without asking everyone if it is ok
first? Also, why is the MPAA and NFL going after TiVo when Microsoft's
Media Center Edition allows you to not only share your programs with
other PCs and laptops, but it also spawned an entire market for portabl
e TV devices like this one? Where were the movie industry goons
when those products were announced and released?
This other quote puts a light on how screwed up the NFL is:
The NFL, meanwhile, is concerned that a user could send a
copy of a game to someone in another time zone, where the game is
blacked out.
Only the NFL would go so far out of their way to make sure their
most ardent fans can't see the football games they want to see.
I sincerely hope TiVo weathers this legal storm, the products are
already loaded with enough protection to keep the movie industry's
worst fears from taking place, though I suspect if the show sharing
features get into TiVo, the maximum number of shareable devices will
most likely be something like 3 other boxes instead of 10.
