A Hurrah for Steve Gillmor

A Hurrah for Steve Gillmor 06/22/2005 02:59 AM

My last chat with Steve Gillmor left me a little sad because, it seemed to me, he was fighting the world, trying to drag it to where he thinks it should go. I find myself all to often in that position so I felt sympathy. What is worse, his profession didn't jive with his ambition.

But it looks like he is, or at least attempting to, escape from that frame of mind. So hurrah for Steve. In my view, Steve's best role is to be the bouncing surface for the technical world because I think his intellect, wisdom, and opinions can make anything interesting.

I made sure that Steve Gillmor and Dan Farber listened to Dick Hardt last night in a nearly deserted BoF - here at ETech.

It's a real shame that Dick's good buddy Tim - couldn't find some stage time for Sxip.

Oh well - they will.

But at least Steve is listening and grokking.

Gillmor Gang 07/01/2004 08:56 AM

Okay I admit I've become an addict of The Gillmor Gang. I copy them to my MP3 player, which unlike the Sony below, plays MP3s (I guess it's kind of obvious, but the obvious seems to have eluded Sony, that MP3 players should actually play MP3s) and take it on my daily walk. The last one I listened to, from June 18, was about whether Sun should open source Java. It was good. I imagine I feel about them as a lot of people feel about Scripting News, they're mostly wrong, in a predictable way, but they get you thinking. I've also become a fan of Doug Kaye's interviews with people with blogs. I downloaded his intervi ew with Doc Searls, and plan to listen to it on my Friday walk, or maybe on the drive down to NY on Sunday. There's this gap between Worcester and Hartford where there isn't much good radio. Hey I'm getting good at this stuff.

We, the Media by Dan Gillmor

We, the Media by Dan Gillmor 05/17/2004 10:25 AM

Just finished reading the Galley Proof of We, the Media: Grassroots Journalism by the People, for the People by Dan Gillmor. O'Reilly is the publisher and it should becoming out mid-July. The book will be published under a Creative Commons license and you will be able to download it free for non-commercial use.

Dan is one of the few professional journalists that really understands the impact of blogs and other new technologies on journalism. It's amazing how many professional journalists I know poo poo blogs and keep on chugging like nothing is changing. We, the Media is a excellent book that should be enlightening and humbling for professional journalists. It is also a great guide for us little "j" journalists about what the possibilities are as well as what the difficulties will be. Anyway, it's an amazingly important book for anyone interested in journalism and democracy. It goes well with Lawrence Lessig's Free Culture and Howard Rheingold's Smart Mobs.

Last week's Gillmor Gang

Last week's Gillmor Gang 12/25/2004 05:31 PM

Yesterday I listened to the identity discussion on The Gillmor Gang. It was very good, as far as it went, but it couldn't go very far, because identity doesn't go very far. This is one of the big problems that refuses to get solved. Like Jon Udell, I expected us to have a global identity system a long time ago.

Doc Searls, bless his heart, offered RSS and podcasting as examples of technologies that were simple, therefore successful, and suggests that identity, if it were to be approached the same way, might have similar success. Bzzzt. Wrong. RSS was not easy, it was hard, for exactly the same reasons identity is hard. Too many cooks spoil the broth. Two ways to do identity is one too many.

Politics spoiled identity, and would have spoiled RSS had the major players not converged on RSS 2.0. The difference this time was that there was a Switzerland, me, to guide RSS through its gauntlet, and I clearly wasn't in bed with any of the major publishers or vendors. The Harvard connection didn't hurt because it's a highly respected university that hadn't been involved in tech standards. Had identity had that kind of champion-ship it might not be the mess it is today.

Instead, when Microsoft started moving behind the scenes in 1997, it was also busy losing the trust of the tech industry, the government, and probably to some extent, the public, by attacking Netscape and the Web. When we tell the history of this chapter of computing history, the costs of Microsoft's aggression will be seen to be very high, not just for them, but for all of us. Now we're stuck, we don't have a leader to turn to to settle the mess of identity.

Here's Dan's comments after the launch party of his new book "We, the Media". NOTE: I got to bring my twins Aron and Jacob to the party. That was fun showing them off.

Here's Dan's post....

J.D. Lasica and Brian Dear were among the folks who came to last night's gathering celebrating the book launch and the relocation of Creative Commons to its new offices in San Francisco. I was honored by the presence of so many fine folks.

The book was published under a Creative Commons license, permitting non-commercial use of the material as long as people give it proper attribution and add their "remixes" back into the world under a similar license. (The book will be online in full very soon on the publisher's official site.)

In my brief remarks to the folks who'd gathered last evening, I talked about the great value Creative Commons is giving to all of us, by doing its part to restore a tiny bit of balance in the copyright regime. I doubt many publishers would have allowed me to live up to what I've been saying on copyright these past few years, and I'm grateful that I have a publisher who totally gets it.

Brian Dear and JD Lasica also had their own posts on the party. Here's some of Brian's shots.....

Dan Gillmor launches new life

Dan Gillmor launches new life 01/01/2005 04:58 PM
Xeni Jardin: Pioneering journalist and fearless tech explorer Dan Gillmor has a new home on the web -- and new plans. He writes:

For the first time in two decades I'm not on the payroll of a large media corporation. As of today I'm on the payroll of a one-person company, comprised of me, but media is still on my agenda.

As many of you know I'm going to work hard on a project to inspire, enable and create what many have been calling a new kind of journalism. In the new world that I and many others believe is coming, the grassroots will have a fundamental and crucial role in the process -- a change that I tried to outline in my book, We the Media, which appeared in the second half of 2004.

For me, this departure is challenging and exciting. I've left what surely is one of the best jobs in mainstream journalism, and will miss my former colleagues immensely (not to mention the pay, benefits and freedom to say what I believed).

I'm also jazzed. Yes, this is a chance to truly walk my talk. But the opportunity to be in on what I consider a pivotal shift, and to be involved just as it begins to happen, made my decision easy.

Wired News interview with Dan Gillmor on
"We The Media" 08/11/2004 12:08 PM
In today's Wired News, an interview I conducted with veteran tech journalist and blogger Dan Gillmor. In his new book, We the Media: Grassroots Journalism by the People, for the People, he chronicles the social and economic impact of weblogs, wikis, mobile technology and other networked phenomena on the business of news.

WN: What role do blogs play in all of this?
Gillmor: They have joined the journalism ecosystem. It's more symbiosis than rivalry. I disagree with Big Media partisans who feel blogs are irrelevant, and with blog promoters who see the demise of professional journalism.
WN: How did you see some of the issues in your book play out at the Democratic Convention? What sorts of trends and activity patterns do you anticipate as the November elections approach?
Gillmor: Bloggers became pets for the Big Media. You could almost see the establishment journalists petting bloggers like poodles and cooing, "Oh, good bloggers, aren't you cute!" (Apart from the ones who put on body armor and said, "Omigod, these pit bulls are dangerous!") It'll take a few more conventions -- and a time when blogs aren't a novelty -- for everyone to sort this out.

RSS to Disrupt Office? eWeek's Gillmor

RSS to Disrupt Office? eWeek's Gillmor
thinks so 12/06/2003 03:54 AM

Steve Gillmor of eWeek says that RSS is going to let Apple and Sun challenge Microsoft's Office.

I think he's half right.

RSS could disrupt Office (and, I hope it will -- I'm evangelizing RSS like crazy within Microsoft) but I think Steve's making some really big assumptions. If they come true, wow.

What do you think?

Gillmor Gang, podcasting and Digital
Identity

Gillmor Gang, podcasting and Digital
Identity 01/02/2005 11:26 PM

I had the honor of being invited into the Dec. 31st, 2004 Gillmor Gang in their last podcast of 2004. I was being used as filler representing the humans and FOAF in the digital identity space.

Dick Hardt couldn't make it - so I also represented the Sxip Networks approach in this conversation as well.

Some really important things came out of this conversation and it's incumbant upon us to build on these opportunities. The most important thing I think that happened was when Dave Winer pointed out that the average software developer is not in a position to support one of these complex identity systems out there, like Liberty Alliance or the WS-* stack. Dave called it the 6th Law of Identity - KISS.

So BAM! It is just so obvious to me why Dick Hardt built Sxip they way that they did! It's exactly what Dave asked for!

Sxip can easily be supported (with as little as some Javascript) and provides as thin of a layer as possible, while providing a DNS-like service for digital identity. You can dive into it deeper - building your own Sxip-compatible storage portals or just create a site that reads compatible Sxip profiles and meta-data.

But the only money that's paid to Sxip is for maintaining a HomeSite or MemberSite - and it's roughly the same price as maintaining a digital certificate or domain name registered - and end-users pay nothing.

Sxip does not store ANY of the end-user's meta-data or even profile data about yourself.

Sxip simply stores (what they call) a GUPI - which is a value presenting you and which points to your designated "HomeSite" (read: DLA.) You can then move your data to any other HomeSite or what they call "Membersite". This creates a SSO (single sign-on) environment for all sorts of new apps, servcies and interactive content.

Sxip also supports the notion of multiple persona (which is part of our PeopleAggregator design) and is everything we need for our 'open standards' efforts, like ourmedia.org.

So I nominated Dick Hard t to be the leader - as he's both a nice guy, really smart and is spending his own money. So he really reminds me of me.

So I wanna thank Steve Gillmor and Doc for asking me to be on the show and I can now say "I've drank the podcast koolaid". My lord.

I call it a podcast as that seems to be the term everyone likes to use. Clearly it's just an audio blog post, that (if you feel like it) can be subscribed to via RSS and downloaded into their iTunes and listened to on their iPod.

But I'll never buy an Apple product ever again - so I have a problem with calling audio blogging being subscribed to via RSS = podcasting. I also have a problem with the fact that there is no meta-data for these podcasts - but I'm willing to leave all that "behind me". I'm stepping back and divesting.

Dave Winer asked for us all to "give something up". So I'll start calling audio blogging podcasting and you can help us all work together.

OK?
