Wow! Congrats to Jason and Tucows!
03/06/2004 01:50 AMIt's a rare day that something this nice happens.
Jason DeFillippo's Blogrolling.com is one of those diamond's in the
rough, percolating up underneath the surfac - waiting for funding and
support. Now it has it!
Elliot and Ross and are gonna do right by Jason - and that
rocks!
I wonder if they're interested in th
e strategy and ideas I developed for Jason -just about a year
ago?
They could also morph this - with Laszlo - as well.
Here's Ross announcement....
Tucows
Acquires Blogrolling.com.
You may have already read the press
release or a blog entry somewhere else - the rumors are true,
Tucows has indeed purchased the assets of Blogrolling.com from Jason
DeFillippo.
I'm really glad we got together with Jason and were able to come to
a deal. I've been a Blogrolling.com user almost as long as I've been a
blogger and this really is a nifty service. Jason felt it was time to
move on to other things and we knew
that Blogrolling.com is a service worth continuing with and
expanding. A definite match.
The service isn't going anywhere and
we're not turning into some "Blogware only" proprietary mess. The
Tucows ZenKeepers would take away my spots if I tried to do that (or
let that happen). We're looking to go in exactly the opposite
direction. My goal is tomake Blogrolling.com even more
useful to webloggers, weblog tool developers and weblog resellers. We
will do this by opening it up more than it already is and ensure
basic win-wins for everyone.
I'm really looking forward to building on Jason's great work. He's
done an excellent job carving out a niche for the service and really
giving his subscribers a great tool. His innovative and
customer-centric philosophy will always guide our management of this
nifty service moving forward.
And, if it appears that we might be straying away from this ideal,
be sure to let me know.
On the other hand, if have no idea what Blogrolling.com is, now would be a great
time to check it
out. The basic service is free and it couldn't be easier to
integrate into your website. I;ll bet if you ask AccordionGuy nicely,
he'll post som
e nifty instructions describing how to make it work with Blogware
;)

04/24/2004 03:25 AMAnd as if (on cue) Ross was waiting for the official
battles to commence, here comes Blogware with....
Busy Week in Blogware-land.
It has been an extremely busy week on Blogwareland. The project is
really firing on all cyclinders and I'm starting to get pretty excited
about the upcoming release. Most of my time has been devoted to staff
training. We took 30 or so staffers through hands-on with the service
in a lab environment and the feedback has been great. I really enjoyed
taking everyone through the in's and out's of Blogware and the weblog
market and it is great to see the rest of the team over here finally
starting to understand why I'm so excited by Blogware and the weblog
opportunity. The blogosphere can be a tough thing to grok for one
person - getting 150 people on the same page is even harder ;)
I finally got the nerve up to steal a
page out of Doc Searls playbook
and go outside of the "bullet-snore-click-snore" structure that
Powerpoint forces on Office users. I've had the pleasure of seeing Doc
"present" a few times and he's really taught me that 60 slides in 60
minutes is only bad if the content is bad...
The dev team is also totally in the zone. A bunch of new features
coming out this week and a few bug fixes as well. I can see v1.0 just
over the horizon...
Something old, something new,
something boring and nothing blue...
Something Old...
Comment Notifications v2.0! Weblog publishers
getting comment notifications is old hat. Now, authenticated readers
can also choose to receive comment notifications on a per article, per
category or on a site-wide basis. Publishers also get to choose
whether or not this feature is even available to their readers.
Something New...
Import/Export. Publishers can now get the
important content out of their old weblogs and into their shiny new
Blogware weblog. Also, the Export feature makes your Blogware content
just that much more portable - great peace of mind. Import initially
supports only MT imports with support for the Blogger, Radio and other
formats shortly.
Something Boring...
Bug fixes. Yawn. ;) Publishers will notice that the webstats are
much snappier now - we realized a ton of performance increases with
some of these new fixes.
Nothing Blue...
No, I meant it - there was nothing blue. Well, just this. Literally.
So what's the big take away? It has been impossible for me to keep
up with my email this week. If you've sent me a message and I haven't
gotten back to you, rest assured, I still love you - its just that I'm
currently 300 messages behind where I should be - and
that's after 4 hours of catch up. Problem is, I'm not going to
get through it all today - marketing needs sign-off on virtually
everything that they've been working on for Blogware this afternoon
and unless I wade into it, they are going to hunt me down and kill me
- probably with a bad PowerPoint presentation or something ;)

Congrats to Om for being Slashdotted
05/08/2004 11:04 PMThe
SlashDot Effect.
I had only read about the
SlashDot Effect, popularly known as Slashdotted. I had
never experienced it first hand. While I was away in Los Angeles, this
story about the Linksys gateway, which did the rounds in the
blogsphere via Engadget, Gizmodo, Boing Boing , Broadband Reports and
a couple of other
sites, was picked up by SlashDot. (Broke the Blogdex top 50 for the first time as
well.)I had no idea that my innocuous little post could stir up such
reaction. Oh well … power of the Internet first hand.
Next thing I know (rather I did not know) the traffic to the
website went crazy, and quickly site was “off the air.”
Apparently, the number of hits to the page created log files which
tipped me over the available disk space on the server, and the index
page became unavailable. Well managed to fix this problem, but it is
becoming increasingly evident that it is time to go for a higher end
web hosting company. Which is a problem because that is going to cost
money, and well given that GigaOM is more of a hobby, I am wondering
out aloud about what to do next. Suggestions and ideas are always
welcome.
[Om Malik on Broadband]
=====
Speaking of Clay Shirky - we got Shirkydotted last Septemeber when he mentioned the
PeopleAggregator. I had dropped a subtle hint of it's existence and he
immediately picked up on it.
But that was nothing like the real Slashdottin
g we received when Richard McManus' article/interview
of me went live, and first Doc and Xeni/BoingBoing picked it up
and then within an hour - BAM.
Down on our knees begging for forgiveness for days.

05/11/2004 01:43 PMWeb Site Founder Flees Mounting Scandal
Today, Justin Hall refused to take
questions on the scandal that has engulfed his personal work on the
web. Amidst allegations that he has fabricated his life, the embattled
Hall today ducked into a black car leaving Oakland for Los Angeles.
The controversy threatens to overshadow his recent work to reinvent
himself as a graduate student and resident of Southern California;
some independent media analysts are now claiming that his plans to
attend grad school and move to Los Angeles are actually premeditated
concoctions.
Hall's late application to grad school and too-rapid closing of his
Oakland estate are leading observers to highlight the chronological
impossibility of events Hall details on his personal web site,
"Justin's Links." Citing application deadlines, researcher Stan
Hodgson writes, "What must have happened is that Mr. Hall applied by
January 30, and then began posting on the graduate school topic at a
much later date, most likely after he'd been admitted, but AS IF he
were still contemplating applying. Certain decisions about the house
were likely made and concluded far in advance of the posting, if it is
indeed the case that he is moving and selling the house."
Hall's web site "Justin's Links" has a reputation for personal
disclosure, as Hall has spent ten years sharing what has appeared to
be his innermost thoughts, physical sensations and pending
experiences. Now it appears that Hall may have been weaving nothing
but a web of lies. Weighing recent evidence and using measured
language, Hodgson remarks: "Mr. Hall's recent posts on this site
suggest a greater than normal divergence between lived experience and
the blogged representation."
Experts are just now unraveling what some call a premeditated
pattern of deceit surrounding Hall's recent announcement of plans to
sell his home and attend school. In a possible attempt to hide
evidence, Hall emptied his Oakland home of five years, splitting his
records between multiple vehicles that were today dispatched from that
location, bearing their contents to undisclosed California storage
facilities.
The crisis threatens to undermine years of good will from
websurfers, who had been lead to believe that Hall was telling the
truth about his life online. James, a frequent commenter on Links.net,
posted this remark in response to the allegations: "I've often
wondered whether there was not a great deal of artifice in Justin's
apparently casual and offhanded (and apparently uncensored) manner of
describing his life." In the days since the scandal broke, a growing
number of voices online have joined James in calling for an official
investigation of or explanation from the elusive Hall.
Hall was seen at an In-N-Out Burger
in Kettleman California, seemingly oblivious to the growing scandal,
and calls for him to reveal the true story behind Justin's Links. A
observer noticed Hall in a corner booth, eating a double cheeseburger
and deleting spam on a laptop hooked up to a mobile phone.
Experts are not yet agreed on Hall's motivation for faking a life
online. But it appears that this callow youth might have finally have
tipped the scales of truth, as investigators could have enough
evidence to indict Hall on charges of false honesty.
Claiming "travel and deadlines," Hall himself could not be reached
for comment.

My dissertation is complete! An Ecological Approach to the
Evolution of Complexity
Two weeks ago I completed an intense summer of work and sumbitted
my dissertation for the MSc in Evolutionaty and Adaptive Systems. If
all goes to plan, and there's no reason why not, I will have my degree
within the next month. The research turned out well, and may lead to
some future developments. Here I'm publishing the text (minus the code
appendix) and the abstract, for easier reading flavor. Enjoy! (I am
for sure).
An Ecological
Approach to the Evolution of Complexity
How evolution led to complex life is one of the great questions. This
paper describes simulations that investigate the role of ecological
interactions in the evolution of complexity. Webworld is a robust
model of evolution in food webs. It is extended for variability of
organism complexity under evolution. Statistical and network analysis
indicates a clear tendency for complexification within the model, led
by adaptations that initially disconnect the species from trophic
interactions. This suggests a process where short term fitness is
increased by less connection to the ecosystem, but long term fitness
is insured by incorporation within the ecosystem. Certainly it
suggests a greater role for ecosystems in the evolution of complexity.

Just In Tokyo Released to the Waiting Web
I lived in Japan between October 2001 and January 2003.
Mostly Tokyo. I
published a guide book in September 2002, called Just In
Tokyo: "How to Live as an Urban Nomad in the World's Most
Expensive City." It was great fun - I wrote it up and laid the whole
thing out; the pages are busy, just as I like 'em.
My publisher was Garrett County
Press, in New Orleans. After about a year, we agreed to take the
guidebook off the market. I would have published the thing forever,
but it was selling slow (slow and steady!) and losing some of its
direct relevance as it aged.
So I've released it to the web, under a Creative Commons license.

Jason takes a big leap
Jason takes a big leap
03/14/2005 05:38 PMAs someone who's started two companies, I know the horror and thrill
that comes with giving up a steady paycheck to follow a dream, and I'm
so happy to see that Jason has decided to join the ranks of
entrepreneurs and devote himself to full-time blogging at kottke.org.
Jason is not going to support himself through advertising, rather he
is asking for readers to act as micropatrons of his site and
contribute to its upkeep. Please consider supporting him, not only
because he writes a great site and because supporting dreams is
important. This is the chance to support something new: an "amateur"
deciding to edit a blog full-time without corporate support and
without advertising. It's a long time blogger chosing to go pro, and
Jason is the perfect person to do it.

Xeni Jardin:
If you're in the LA area Friday night: Chicago-based artist Jason
Salavon, whose work we've blogged here
before, has a show launch at The Project.
Salavon digitally reconfigures raw source
data into abstract, and often painterly, photographs and videos.
Utilizing self-designed software programs, Salavon's hybridized
artworks fuse information technology with pop cultural aesthetics.
Salavon's recent photographic series, 100 Special Moments,
culls images of newlyweds, graduates, little league players and
traditional Santa portraits to manifest composite images of each
scenario. The artist deconstructs nostalgia to its average mean,
subverting and blurring the lines between singular and collective
social experiences within the framework of commemorative photographs.
For the Emblem series, Salavon interrogates the social
implications of 1970s iconic films, such as 2001: A Space Odyssey,
Taxi Driver and Apocalypse Now, by algorithmically abstracting their
filmic frames in time and subsequently reorganizing them in a circular
structure reminiscent of traditional Mandalas. Late Night
Triad, a three-channel video projection, overlays introductory
monologues from late night talk show hosts David Letterman, Jay Leno,
and Conan O'Brien. Salavon digitally aligns and averages the comedic
routines to expose the inherit repetition in their underlying
structure and rhythmic timing.

I was thrilled to meet a young man by the name of Zack Rosen at SXSW this year, and more thrilled
when he told me that his reading of Smart Mobs was a key inspiration
behind his effort to create the infrastructure for Deanspace. He's been working on a
toolkit for community organizing of the kind that drove the Dean
campaign. Based on Drupal, the
civic organizing toolkit was designed to be easy to use and cost less
than $50/month. It's called CivicSpace. Check it out. It
should be available soon.
CivicSpace is being built with the needs of
distributed organizations in mind. It will give you and the supporters
within your community a solid framework for organizing and engaging
those around you in action. But it also will allow you to plug your
community into a network of other communities where you can share your
ideas, knowledge, relationships, and organizational information. Here
are some things it will enable you to do:
- Create a customizable community driven website with Blogs, Photo
Galleries, User Profiles, Friend / Buddy Tracking, Polls, and File
Storage more…
- Send targeted email more…
- Import and aggregate remote content, share users, and sync
calendars with any other CivicSpace site more…
- Manage your groups membership and contacts more…
- Organize events, ride sharing, and RSVP
