- Data needs to be portable. If Flickr starts to suck, you should be able to easily move all of your photos to a better service.

DUDE - FLICKR AIN'T GONNA EVER SUCK. IT ROCKS.

- Redundancy and failing gracefully. What if Blogger is unavailable when I want to rebuild my Web site after my Flickr photostream has been updated (see my MTAmazon plug-in problem)? Does the rebuild just fail or is the data cached somewhere?

AMEN BROTHER - STABILITY IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT. THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN BY DEFAULT IT TAKES HARD WORK - WORK THAT SOMEBODY HAS TO PAY FOR.

- You need to get everyone to agree on interop/formats/etc. Fortunately, it seems like companies are a lot more willing to do this than 4-5 years ago (Amazon, Google, Flickr, Upcoming, & TypePad all have APIs or allow data output via RSS/Atom).

NOW LET'S SEE? WHAT THE HELL   HAVE I BEEN   DOING  LA TELY?

- Security. Lots of passwords and personal information will have to be passed around for all this to work. How about some commitment from these companies to keep this data as secure as they can?

HAVE YOU HEARD OF SXIP - YET? THE PIECES OF THE PUZZLE ARE COMING TOGETHER - RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR EYES!

This, then, is the promise of Web services. Nothing new, but it's nice to see things continue to head in this direction.

RIGHT ON TO JASON FOR WRITING THIS. MAJOR BOOKMARK TIME! I LOVE IT WHEN SMART PEOPLE DO THE WORK FOR ME.

Personal Life Recorders and Digital
Lifestyle Aggregators

Nick Graydos brings up a good point.

Once we have Personal Life Recorders (PLRs) - we'll need digital lifestyle aggregators (DLAs) to organize all the crap we collect.

Perhaps the biggest barriers to humans utilizing all the technology we offer them - is how to get all this stuff digitzed, uploaded, meta data attached and indexed - before we can utilize it.

PLRs solve that problem.

But we'll need ways of organizing, keeping track of and backing up all our stuff - especially as we move from home to work and school and bop around the world - as well. This all goes along well with the last post I did on dealing with your digital lifestyle - currently.

There are other things that require DLAs as well.

Activity based computing for one. Is it a coicidence that Don Norman influenced me on that one as well?

Clay Shirky calls it Situated software, but I see a more general era of technology - where the human no longer has to bend over to adapt to the weird rules and eccentricities of the software - to use it.

This assumes that the usability issue is finally understood, that soci al interfaces are predominant and that DLAs help us pull it all together.

The PLRs and activity based computing will take us to the next level.

Here's Nick's post which inspired this outburst.....

USA Today ran an article on MRAM (magentic ram) and its impact PLRs - personal life recorders.

The holy grail of devices = Storage Capacity + Battery Life + Device Speed / Responsiveness + Physical Size.

How do you feel about having your life recorded? I'm ready.

Marc Canter has some related ideas that tie into his themes of Digital Lifestyle Aggregation. I really think that Personal Lifestyle Recorders will require Digital Lifestyle Aggregators to sift through all of the data to find the interesting bits.

Imagine a next generation MyYahoo service – which enabled end-users to keep track of their personal (and their families) music, photo, video and file collections and provided them with ‘home publishing’ capabilities to create, store and distribute their own content.  Imagine a social networking environment which matched and found like-minded people and enabled them to participate in activities together (both on-line and in ‘real space’.)...

...Now imagine all of these capabilities and features in one integrated environment – focused in on a particular constituency, content brand or set of activities.  That’s what we call a digital lifestyle aggregator (DLA.)"

[Nick Graydos > thynk]

How to make money from Digital Lifestyle
Aggregators - Part I

I'm getting to be like Doc now.  I have multiple blog sources where I'm published at.

I've been starting to use Tony Perkin's AlwaysOn Network as a platform to spiel on about DLAs.  Strictly DLAs. 

A man's gotta have a professional avenue only to rant and rave in and the AlwaysOn Network is the perfect 24/7/365 venue for me - culminating with a meatspace confab in July.

I helped Tony put together the AO Zaibatsu (as he calls it) and I'm hoping that he'll continue to the good work in providing yet another example of social networking put into context - this time in the virtual Silicon Valley crowd.

The AO Zaibatsu provides every member a blog tool, which is then used to produce the global AlwaysOn Network voice.

Tony and his editorial staff (including Rafe Needleman and Rich Seidner) then cherry pick the posts and put them up onto the top page.  Tony and his team have some coolio new applications for Groups and sponsorships - which they'll be unveiling soon and it all ties into the AO Innovation Summit at Stanford in July 13-15th.

The whole brand is a great example of putting DLAs into action, and allows me (combined with 1UP.com) to show the world that "there's a there there".

So check out my latest post there entitled "H ow to make money from digital lfiestyle aggregators?"  'Cause it's all about making money - right?

I grabbed a couple of screen grabs just to show everyone that this is coming out of live code, with live, breathing humans attached to a real life social network - supporting FOAF and RSS - spewing out feeds and content faster than a NYC editor can edit them.

That means that the AlwaysOn Network is a permanent location in our people's mesh - a decentralized collection of on-line tools, services and applications - all utilizing FOAF to import/export digital ID's between systems.

We're working on forming an industry consortium dedicated to making sure that this happens.  It's code-named the FOAFnet.

Roland groks it

I'm starting to like Roland Tanglao more and more and not just because we're about to start working together.

Here's his post - post-BlogTalk - on the ramifications of cross-platform webapps that act like normal 'apps'.

To me - the ODDpost-Yahoo deal is much more than just a GMail copycat reaction. It's a clear statement that rich, interesting, compelling, easy to use interfaces really DO matter and that HTML sucks just as bad as my instinct told me - back in 1994.

This is a big deal for Laszlo and Flex and Dreamfactory and otehr "non-HTML" UI front-end toolkits.

Here's Roland's post....strong>

Another random takeaway.

The next generation of web app "good enough" will incorporate the lessons learned from Gmail: leverage cross browser and cross platform DTHML and JavaScript to create a web app that is more dynamic and responsive and therefore is closer to a native application.

And since most social software is a web app, this is a lesson for those developers. Don't think this is a profound or new idea but it's been burning in the back of my head since I left Vienna.

Aggregator inside aggregator

Aggregator inside aggregator 09/21/2004 10:57 PM
You know whenever people post screenshots of emulators, how it can be weird to see Windows running on a Mac? (Even weirder if you actually use an emulator, until you get used to it.)

Here’s a similar side effect of having embedded a browser in NetNewsWire. (Click for full-size screen shots.)



Even though it’s odd, there’s actually a point to it—we discovered that some people use multiple aggregators. One for fun stuff and one for work, that kind of thing.

If one is browser-based and the other embeds a browser, then, well, hey, you’ve got something like the above.

We know jack crap about these specification-wise, but a company called "Tulip Distribution" has announced the world's first "lifestyle" notebook called the "Tulip E-Go." When I received the e-mail regarding this announcement, I was rather inquisitive as to exactly what "lifestyle" meant for notebooks. So I opened the website, and what did I find? A picture of a woman holding a notebook with a fancy round case and stylish design. They look sort of like the old iBook oysters, except they've covered the fruit shells in leather.

They're not the only ones, but the latest to jump on the "shutter noise" solution to the "camera phone problem" is South Korea. Starting next year, they're going to require new camera phones to include a loud clicking sound when someone takes a picture, mimicking an analog camera. The only purpose for such a noise, of course, is to alert people around you that you're taking a picture. In some ways, this seems silly, and down the road people will look back on this and find it an amusing historical example of people over reacting to new technology.

Some of us have even survived that type of treatment. Suggestions that the brutality in Iraq was meted out by a few miscreants aren't even seriously entertained here. We have seen and heard all that before as well. But our experience is that, while individuals may bring a particular impact to their work, they do so within interrogative practices authorised by their superiors."

Following on from the ice-cream van dub sound system and the piano bar on wheels, i'd like to draw your attention to the Miniscule of Sound. i've been going to summertime festivals in the uk for years, and these guys have been on the circuit for almost a decade. It's basically a converted horsebox kitted out on the inside with disco ball, coloured lights, day-glo fluffy roof, light-panelled dancefloor, and a dj (usually) dressed as one of the vilage people playing something cheesey on a tiny pair of decks. The door staff on the outside advise us they are "'avin it tiny!" on the way in. Club capacity is about 8, maybe 9 at a squeeze. As clubbing experiences go, it's one of the best and it's free. If you see them at a festie this year, pay them a visit.

MP3 sound bites

MP3 sound bites 09/06/2004 11:54 PM

In the inaugural column of this series on hypermedia, I mentioned an MP3 clipping service I wrote to enable quotation of sound bites. Before I explain how it works, let's review why it exists. Audio content -- and of particular interest to me, spoken-word audio content -- is flourishing. In the tech world, Doug Kaye's ITConversations web site is a great example. It features audio interviews with IT personalities, as well as recorded speeches from conferences -- including the recent O'Reilly Open Source Convention. Kaye's audio engineering credentials are impeccable, but nowadays anyone can pick up a microphone and speak into an MP3 file. Today, for example, I listened to Dave Winer's thoughts on the business model for Wi-Fi and blogs, recorded while he was driving northward in Wisconsin. In my own journalistic work, I increasingly record and post audio interviews.

Although the amount of audio content keeps growing, the time available for listening remains constant. Until and unless we achieve a radical breakthrough in speech-to-text translation -- and I'm not holding my breath -- we'll need to find another way to make audio content more granular, and easier to consume selectively. [Full story at O'Reilly Network]

I've been using the service described here for a while now. For this column, the second in a planned series on hypermedia, I rewrote and published the code in hopes that others will be inspired to help move the project forward. ...

I missed Paul Graham's talk at OSCON, but caught some of the ripple effects -- in particular, the reaction to his trashing of Java in favor of Python. This blurb, from the IT Conversations RSS feed, gave me a link to the clip. By repeating the link here, in conjunction with some keywords -- "Paul Graham Java Python" -- I'm pretty certain that in a week or so, this Google query will lead you to the item you are now reading, and thence (if you're so inclined) to Graham's controversial remark, and thence (if you're further inclined) to the complete 30-minute segment posted by Doug Kaye at IT Conversations. ...
