Today a million companies will tell you how great a job
they will do designing your website.
They'll tell you they'll make it look professional. Your site will
use the most advanced web services available today. They might use
java or
flash, or some other technology that sounds very technical. They might
even
build a shopping cart for you.
Another million companies will tell you how great a job they will do
hosting
your website.
They'll tell you they have great features. Your hosting account
will support the most advanced technologies used today. They might
support
the java or flash, or other technologies used to develop your
website.
They might even provide a shopping cart with the hosting.
So what does a business owner really need to look for when choosing a
company(s) to get started doing business online?

Suppose that we bloggers, collectively, wanted to migrate toward HTML
coding and CSS styling conventions that would make our content more
interoperable. Since none of us is starting from a clean slate, we'd
need to analyze current practice. Well, now we can. Here, for example,
is a concordance of use cases for HTML elements with class attributes,
drawn from the database I'm building:

The web is full of sites created by enthusiastic amateurs. Some become
proficient, others just hack away happily. Then there are the sites
created professionally for small to medium sized businesses.
I've been looking at sites owned by people who aren't sophisticated
internet users. Nothing wrong with that - except that the web design
companies they sign up with
steal their content
and they don't know.
Stupid Blog Post Content
Stupid Blog Post Content
09/01/2004 12:08 PMContent Usability in RSS: Hey look, we're so big now that I'm
linking to my own stuff...
It's been a year since I posted this, and the situation hasn't
gotten any better. Too many people try to be all witty and
avant-garde in their post titles and content and, as a result, getting
instantly passed over or deleted.
I get several of these a day — entries that don't
have enough information in them to help decide if I actually want to
read them or not. A lot of them just have a title and a link, and the
titles of news articles are pretty ambiguous these days.
Take a look at this
entry over at MetaFilter and ask yourself, why should I give a
crap about this? What has this author presented to make me care one
second about this content?
Notice that the author has to actually include instructions in the
post as to how it "works." Note also that the first commentor
graciously takes it upon themselves to tell everyone where the links
were going so they can figure out if they care. Another commentor
says:
I really dislike this post. Clever, but OBNOXIOUS! I
almost DON'T want to click any of these links.
I didn't even think it was that clever.
Of course, this only matters if you're trying to get people to
follow your links or read your stuff. If you're just trying to be all
black beret, wireframe glasses, and facial hair — well, then
mission accomplished.

Thanks, Bloggies! BB wins best group

03/14/2005 05:29 PMXeni Jardin:
Boing Boing pal
Scott Beale informs us that our blog just won
Group Weblog of the Year at the
Bloggies. OMG! What a huge honor! Thank you, Bloggies. We honestly
didn't expect this, and we are deeply moved and grateful. There were
many other deserving blogs up for awards, backed by talented folks who
work very hard, and we raise our collective pirate-eye-patches in
their honor:
check 'em all
out. On behalf of my blog-mates
Cory Doctorow,
Mark Frauenfelder, and
David Pescovitz; our wise "band manager"
John Battelle; our sysadmin
par excellence Ken Snider; and the rest of the team and extended
family that makes Boing Boing possible -- a humble thank you. But most
of all, we are grateful to you, our readers, for wasting otherwise
productive time on our collective scrapbook of "wonderful things," and
for pointing us to even more of those wonderful and undiscovered
things each day. We're really sorry that we couldn't make it to
SXSW in person to accept the award,
but we hope you'll join us in celebrating in person tomorrow at
ETCON (
all five of us will be in the same place for the first time).
Boing Boing sprouted online a little over
five years ago, from paper zine roots planted by Mark Frauenfelder
and
Carla
Sinclair. It is a privilege to blog for you. With you, we look
forward to another adventurous year of link-discuss to come.

Update: Holy crap! Reader Nathaneal Heasley
sez, "Not only did BB win best group ‘blog, it won “blog of the
year/best weblog overall” – congratulations!" For those keeping
track, this is the second year in a row Boing Boing has received these
two awards: Link to 2004, Link to 2005. Man. We're
speechless, and overwhelmed by your generosity.

IBM, Fox Working To Make TV Content Less
Useful
IBM, Fox Working To Make TV Content Less
Useful
04/18/2005 01:59 AMIt's amazing how much effort some companies are going through to make
their products
less useful to customers. The latest is an
effort by IBM and Fox Entertainment Group (patent pending, of
course...) to take the broadcast flag (which
might
not be legal) one step further and add the ability to
block transfers outside of a
local viewing area. Now, there is
some good in hearing
that this is happening -- because it shows that the industry at least
admits that there are some cases in which sending a TV show over the
internet makes sense, even if it's very limited. In fact, the main
reason they're working on this is because some were afraid that the
all out "no copying over the internet" broadcast flag would prevent
people from sending a TV show from their DVR to their computer, or
from one TV to another, or some other similar
local area
transfer. Of course, an easier way to handle that is to just remove
the broadcast flag altogether, saving not only the time and the money,
but the annoyance from viewers who are trying to do something
legitimate and are stymied by restrictive technology. Once again,
though, it's worth pointing out that the TV they're talking about is
broadcast TV which is (oh yeah!) already being sent out for
free over the airwaves and which is supported by commercials.
In other words, this is TV that the companies should want to make as
easy to share as possible because it drives more people to watch, more
people to see the commercials, and, thus, more advertisers interested
in buying ad space.
