How open is OpenSearch?
03/28/2005 01:07 PM
Last week at the
O'Reilly Emerging
Technology Conference, Jeff Bezos announced OpenSearch, an API
that enables third parties to inject their own live search results
into Amazon's A9.com. I didn't attend ETech this year, but that cloud
had a silver lining: I was able to dive right in and do an OpenSearch
implementation.
As fate would have it, I'd just finished a quick hack to reorganize
the output of InfoWorld's Ultraseek search engine. I named my little
project InfoWorld power
search because it delivers a dense page of titles, categorized by
story type. When I heard about OpenSearch, I wondered how hard it
would be to integrate my new view of InfoWorld search as a "column" in
A9. As I soon learned, it's almost trivial.
...
OpenSearch is interesting in lots of ways, but here I want to focus on
its use of RSS. A9 doesn't subscribe to my search-results feed in the
way Bloglines or FeedDemon or NetNewsWire would. It doesn't poll for
changes. Instead it sends a request to my site when an A9 user with an
active InfoWorld column performs a search. The response packet I send
back just happens to be formatted as RSS 2.0, but from A9's
perspective, it could be any XML format.
Why RSS 2.0, then? Because it creates network effects that go way
beyond the point-to-point relationships between A9 and its search
partners. The work I did to export RSS 2.0 search results served
double duty. It accomplished the integration with A9, but it also
dramatically expanded InfoWorld's RSS surface area. Now, for the first
time, you can subscribe to any InfoWorld search in a feed reader. Want
to be notified when the next review of a VoIP product shows up at
InfoWorld.com? Run the query, and subscribe to its results.
Most people nowadays use RSS for person-to-person communication. You
know the pattern: When a publisher posts a blog item, subscribers are
alerted. A growing number of folks are also using RSS for
process-to-person communication. Subscribing to searches is the best
example of this pattern.
A9's use of RSS for process-to-process communication represents a
third pattern. We'll be seeing a lot more of it. Not because RSS
enables process integration in special ways -- it doesn't -- but
rather because RSS helps us blur the boundaries between human network
and process networks.
To be honest, I wasn't even planning to enable RSS subscription to
InfoWorld search. It just came for free. When that happens, it's a
sign that things are deeply right. [Full story at

ETech come-down...
ETech come-down...
02/13/2004 08:03 PMRight then. Emerging Tech is
over and everyone's heads are full and we've all got a little bit of a
hangover from last night celebrations and socialising. I'm now back in
Los Angeles, having taken the train up from San Diego with the lovely
Phil and Anno. The train journey was filled
with little aggravating child noises and I was sitting in the wrong
direction so arrive in LA feeling queasy and dizzy. The train goes so
close to the Ocean that it's almost impossible not to want to
sacrifice all future working ambitions, get out at any convenient
station and run giggling into the water with warm sand between your
toes. Manfully, I have resisted.
I fly back to the UK on Sunday evening - arriving back sometime
around early lunchtime on Monday. I think I'm going to have to make an
appeal for a long weekend off work to try and digest everything that's
been going on and make sense of it. I think my understanding of the
event is even more blurry this year than last. In the meantime posting
is likely to be more erratic than usual...

02/10/2004 02:41 AMCreative Commons will be an exhi
bitor at the O'Reilly Emerging
Technology Conference in San Diego next week.
Etech is regarded by many as the best tech conference of the year,
always in step with the latest creations and aspirations of the alpha
geeks, having evolved from
the Peer-to-Peer Conference in early 2001 and P2P & Web Services in
late 2001 to the current multi-tracked annual conference starting two
years ago. (Incidentally, the Creative Commons concept was in
troduced at ETCon 2002. How time flies.)
Matt
Haughey and Mike
Linksvayer will be attending. Stop by the Creative Commons booth,
or better yet our parti
cipant session (time and location yet to be announced). We'll be
introducing a new CC metadata-enhanced application. Hint: it's
described in one of our tech
challenges, heretofore unmet.
If you're in the area but not an attendee, you can still reg
ister for a free exhibits pass, or an exhibits plus keynotes and
birds-of-a-feather (participant sessions) pass for only $50. Hope to
see you there!

blogging with living]. He says there are 12 operational units so far.
They're building a new generation: Smaller, GPS, continuous audio. He

Loïc's Etech report
Loïc's Etech report
02/12/2004 03:20 PM"No one owns who my
friends are". Great FOAF session today. Dan Brickley who created
FOAF, gave a good overview of what it is and how it is used.
I
enjoyed the idea of dating on
phones via bluetooth and FOAF.
This way you can date
somebody who is in the same room, same restaurant, immediately, with
the same interests as you... Great stuff.
Marc and Eric also OF COURSE showed People Aggregator. I really
like the idea of linking the friends I have in Orkut with the friends I have in Linked In, with the
friends I have in ...
I am not sure these networks will agree
to share their databases with you (or anybody else), Marc, but let's
see what happens. I agree on the fact that if we all own our own
identity on a FOAF file, it is better than having to fill-it in in 10
different networks...
Also saw a demo of NewsMonster, it is an RSS
reader that supports FOAF. Nice work, John. "There is too many social
networks. You do not own my data, I do. "
John is also working
on "Exportster", which is a plugin that should be ready within a
month. Its goal is to be able to export the data from the different
networks and sync them.
"We export the data from social
networks and sync them all, so that there is one macro level FOAF
file, in order to have a unified data model."
Tribe also
announced that they support FOAF.
Greg Elin showed fotonotes.net that is
coordinating a semantic photo project which is exploring the issues
combining FOAF and RDF for photos, impressive.
Marc Powell
talked briefly about
Indyvoter.org, "injecting the virus of political dialogue into
online social networks", also supporting FOAF. [Loïc Le Meur's WebLog]

Loïc's letter i. :-)

02/11/2004 08:25 PM Dan Brickley is explaining Friend of a Friend. (I had a chance to

that allows people to express information about themselves...the sorts
of things you might say on your homepage. There are currently 2M FOAF
descriptions in the world. There are different styles of FOAF files.
You can be very explicit about relationships: "Jane is my arch
nemesis." But there's also a more implicit, evidence-based approach:
Libby and I went to the same school and work for the same

Ta-da Lists
Really simple to-do list management.
Cory Doctorow's notes
Cory's notes from James Surowiecki's talk, "Independent Individuals
and Wise Crowds, or Is It Possible to Be Too Connected?"
The SchoolTool Project
"SchoolTool is a project to develop a common global school
administration infrastructure that is freely available under an Open
Source licence."
Instiki
"Instiki is a Wiki Clone (What is a wiki?) that’s so easy to set up
and so pretty to look at, you’ll be wondering whether this is a real
wiki at all...Instiki only relies on Ruby—no Apache, no MySQL, or
other dependencies(yay!). Instiki runs on Windows, Linux, OSX, and any
other platform where Ruby does."
Dodgeball
"A service which aims to coordinate social interactions between mobile
users"
Pac-Manhattan
"Pac-Manhattan is a large-scale urban game that utilizes the New York
City grid to recreate the 1980's video game sensation Pac-Man. This
analog version of Pac-man is being developed in NYU's Interactive
Telecommunications graduate program, in order to explore what happens
when games are removed from their 'little world' of tabletops,
televisions and computers and placed in the larger 'real world' of
street corners, and cities."

Citizen journalism, one-handed department
"There has been so much debate over whether bloggers are journalists,
the real issue has been obscured: are IRC chatters journalists? Mr.
Sun has done some careful investigation and found that the IRC
conversation logged below preceded the supposed revolutionizing of
journalism by bloggers." Totally unrelated to the conference, but a
funny reminder that I don't read Mr. Sun enough.
Ten Hour Takeover
"Ten Hour Takeover is your chance to choose the music Radio 1 plays."
The BBC asked listeners to send a text message song request. Ten hours
of music totally driven by the listening public. Awesome.
"Average UK adult listens to 24 hours of radio a week" according to
Paul in the presentation, BBC Programme Information Pages: An
Architecture for an On-Demand World. Wow. That's amazing. For
comparison, I found this document about American teenage radio habits
stating that US young adults agee 12-17 listen to an average of 13.5
hours of radio a week. Maybe it's because we've got more Clear Channel
and they've got Radio 1?
Cory's notes from George Dyson's talk
Dyson's talk on "Von Neumann's Universe" was one of my favorites so
far, and makes me want to take a field trip to Princeton to visit the
Institute for Advanced Study.
Near Near Future
A blog from a woman who's, "currently working as a new media
consultant for a multimedia and virtual reality park in Turin." I like
the way she's got her categories displayed across the top of the page,
using a larger font to display categories with more posts.
pasta and vinegar
"A blog by nicolas nova about pasta (human computer interaction,
innovation, technologies, futuristic trends, location based services,
mobile computing, user-centric stuff, video game design) and vinegar
(digital culture and various weird stuff)."
The real digital divide (The Economist)
"Encouraging the spread of mobile phones is the most sensible and
effective response to the digital divide"
(The above link is not from the conference, I read this on the plane
and it's very interesting, I recommend the whole Technology Quarterly
in the March 12th-18th The Economist. A lot of what I read in it feels
relevant to what I'm thinking about and hearing at ETech.)
Google Sets
"Automatically create sets of items from a few examples." Here's an
example with peanut butter & jelly.
Tech Buzz Game
"The Tech Buzz Game is a fantasy prediction market for high-tech
products, concepts, and trends."
applied minds, inc.
Danny Hillis is talking about walking dinosaur that's electrically
driven and fully articulated and all kinds of amazing robots that I'll
find links for and pictures of later, I want to listen now.
Flickr Graph
"Flickr Graph is an application that explores the social relationships
inside flickr.com."
Flickrfox
"flickrfox is an extension for Firefox (version 1.0) that lets you
browse your Flickr photostreams in a sidebar."
Baby Name Wizard's NameVoyager
Baby Name Wizard's NameVoyager looks really cool but doesn't seem to
work in Firefox. It graphs the popularity of baby names over time.
Pecking at ETech?
Pecking at ETech?
02/11/2004 04:17 PMRussell says:
Interesting conference - too bad I wasn't there to get a longer
impression, but boy it seemed like there were some serious pecking
orders there.
And someone else I know there said this via IM last night:
You are missing some good conferences this week here,
although I have come to the conclusion that a lot of the bloggers are
pretty pompous.
I'm not sure what to make of that. Pecking
orders? Pompous? It bothers me, I guess.
That's odd. I
haven't noticed pecking or being pecked. Pompous? Nothing more or less
than I would expect. I wonder if I'm missing something? I'm generally
fairly sensitive about this sort of stuff. Anyone here at ETech have
any specific examples?
I DO think we're talking about blogging too much, but pecking?

A few one liners I scribbled in my notebook:

This is the key event of the year. We're gonna party like is
USED to be 1999.
I'll be there - sponsored by Laszlo Systems and I'll be giving
a :05 minute talk on FOAF and the PeopleAggregator.
But clearly the most exciting event will be the field trip to TJ
