Technologies Gives Birth To FrontPage: Joe's mention of "FrontPage
crap" in his Cy
gwin post got me remembering the joy of having "_vti" directories
scattered across my hard drive when working with the unabashed sucking
that was early versions of FrontPage. (I was issued FrontPage 1.1 on
five floppies by Microsoft back when I was a beta-tester for MSN.)
Did you ever wonder where the "vti" prefix came from? Why those
letters? Turns out they stood for "Vermeer Technologies Incorporated"
which was the company that built FrontPage originally. They were the
ones who came up with the idea of "WebBots" and "Server
Extensions."
Microsoft bought Vermeer and its "Critically Acclaimed Visual
Client-Server Web Publishing Tool" in January 1996 for $130-some-odd
million. Here's the press release. As near as I can tell, Vermeer dropped off the
face of the Earth after being acquired — they were simply
absorbed into the Borg cube.
And here's a review of FrontPage from November 1995, just before
they were acquired.
Vermeer's FrontPage Editor is an excellent WYSIWYG HTML
editor with a built-in to-do list that keeps track of necessary
changes to your Web pages. The only thing lacking is support for
tables, which is planned for the next version [...]
No table support? We've come so far.
If this story interests you, the guy who founded Vermeer wrote a
book about it: High Stakes, No Prisoners.
Charles Ferguson's hilarious, hard-boiled journey into the
heart of high-tech darkness has become the signal book of the start-up
generation. Ferguson took a good idea, started a company, and sold it
to Microsoft for $133 million — all in less than two years. High
Stakes, No Prisoners is both a blistering inside account of how he did
it and a brilliant tour of the brutally competitive and utterly unique
world of Silicon Valley.
You have to love the title of the first reader review: "If he's so
smart, why isn't he richer?" I can't find any reference to what
Ferguson is doing today.

01/03/2005 10:35 AMWhy Technorati tags don't
Why Technorati tags don't
02/01/2005 09:47 PMTagging has become the latest hype word-du-jour, mostly due to
services such as
del.icio.us,
Flickr, and now,
Technorati.
Clay Shirky and
others have written strong statements
for this
folksonomy
phenomenon.
I personally love tags. They are a very cool way of attaching
meaning to information - essentially put the semantics in the web in
the "Semantic
Web" sense, even if the metadata is dissociated from the
pages themselves. But as a non-English speaker I see a potentially
fatal flaw here: Most Internet users don't speak English as their
first language. Even if I speak decent English and use a lot of
English services, I still tag things in both English and my native
language.
And that means that tags will become "language polluted."
Take a look at the Technorati tag for "Macintosh&
;quot;, for example. Many of the blog entries are in Japanese.
If you look at Orkut, many of the parts of it suddenly became &a
mp;quot;owned" by Brasilians, which essentially drove
away English speakers (I haven't checked how they have handled this).
USENET coped with this by having separate hierarchies for each
country (so sfnet is all Finnish) and "accepted" languages
on each newsgroup. But tags don't have any way to determine the
language.
The situation is worse than it should be, because entries on RSS
feeds and blogs almost never state what their language is. In
fact, I would guess that most RSS feeds claim that the language is
"en-US" regardless of their actual content. People like me
write in two languages on the same blog. Atom has the possibility of
setting the language-per-entry, but I sincerely doubt that anyone will
bother to set the language, unless they are relatively passionate
about the subject.
There are three cases of "language collision" on tags
(I'm using English and Finnish as an example only here).
- The tag is different in English and in Finnish. For example
"fishing" and "kalastus". This should pose no
problem, as the folksonomies grow on each of the tags independently.
- The tag is the same in English and in language Finnish, but the
meaning of the tag is different. In this case, the dominant mass of
the users will "hijack" the tag.
- The tag is the same in both languages, but the web pages will be
in different languages. This is the case with things like trade marks
(Apple, Macintosh, Nokia), or when people like to tag Finnish pages
with English tags (like me: I use the word "blog" to mark
any significant articles about blogs, regardless of the language).
This reduces the usefulness of tags for people who do not understand
Finnish.
There is also an additional tagging problem with languages such as
Finnish: the same word can be conjugated and written in multiple ways,
depending on the context. It is somewhat the same as the problem of
using different words for the same concept, but it does make the
number of potential strings increase three-fourfold.
There are few solutions to this problem: and probably all of them
involve some sort of heuristic to determine the language of the tag
and the web page. Tagging is still a relatively new technique to be
adopted in mass classification of things, but in order for it to
become truly successful, one must still remember localization.
Otherwise, it will be the dominance of the masses

06/17/2005 04:38 PMHey, the Technorati beta
is up. Looks much nicer, though I wish they’d lose the dude with
the megaphone; goatees are so 1993. (Hey look, Technorati
and Newsweek, sitting
in a tree.) Among other things, the technorationals are making a
concerted effort to prove that my doubts about
tagging are misplaced—so are Shirky et al at You’re It!. It’s become obvious
that tags are useful enough as a place to park search words for
pictures & music & other stuff that doesn’t have words to
search. Furthermore, I’ve heard a dozen compelling stories from
people who are using tags to organize their own information and track
trends; so it’s looking like the answers are: Yes, tagging is
useful; No, it’s not a replacement for full-text search, even
partially. On the subject of search, Sun’s Search Guy Steve Green is
trying to push over the boundary
between search and semantics.

Innovating from the Ground Up, and the
Idea-Implementation Disconnect
Innovating from the Ground Up, and the
Idea-Implementation Disconnect
03/22/2005 04:54 PM
The
Ideas:
(1) Instead of thinking about technological innovation that applies
top-down (improving our cities, our institutions, our communities)
what
if we thought about such innovation at the personal level, bottom-up,
the way nature does? (2) Why are we so inept at moving from brilliant
ideas to ubiquitous delivery of solutions?
I have long been an advocate of
bottom-up, front-line-focused, personalized
solutions to business problems, because I've seen them work, and
because I've seen imposed top-down one-size-fits-all management
solutions continually fail. And I've proposed bottom-up, community-based
solutions for our political, social and economic woes. Everything I've
learned so far tells me that bigger-is-worse, that there are no
economies of scale, that centralized is much
less effective than decentralized, and that the people at the top of
power and money elites are totally disinterested in solving real
problems, and merely consumed with further increasing their power and
wealth.
So if bottom-up problem-solving is the best answer for business, social, political and
economic challenges, how
about technological
challenges?
I have mentioned my revelation at a recent wind energy conference
where a large number of people seeking to become personally
energy-independent overwhelmed one gentleman who wanted the state to
set up more centralized, "efficient" wind farms for all, and how I, as
a liberal accustomed to the role of the state in organizing things for
the greater benefit, was at first ambivalent, but by the end of the
day
was won over by the self-interested. While I still believe innovation
and technology need to be focused on solving basic human needs, I've
begun to think that they might better solve those needs by looking at
personal bottom-up
solutions instead of institutionally-deployed ones. I'm even wondering
whether community-based renewable energy co-ops are too centralized.
No, I haven't suddenly become a libertarian or a Dawkins selfish-gene
adherent: Nature, in its
technological design and innovation (look at birds' wings and the
thermal design of feathers), doesn't use centralized solutions --
animal communities are bound together by social imperatives, not shared technologies. Why
should we be any different?
Maybe we need to merge the great
cradle-to-cradle design thinking of guys like Bill McDonough, who
creates wonderful zero-waste
designs for institutions,
with the bottom-up, personalized approaches that I have advocated for
business.
Here are some of the fragments of ideas that I've been kicking around
since I contemplated this. Since I was thinking at the time about
renewable energy, the End of Oil and global warming, that's what most
of these ideas are focused on:
What if
solar energy collectors were designed to look like trees, not like
flat
panels -- more surface area, better fit with the environment? Could
they even be 'grown' using fractal patterns and crystal-forming
ingredients?
What if hats
were designed as personal solar energy collectors -- instead of just
protecting us from the sun's rays, why not have them harvest them?
What
about hair, even, which again
has more surface area. Could our shampoo double as an application of
wireless nanotech energy collectors?
What if we could harvest
our nervous energy, and the energy expended when we exercise? I've
heard of PCs and flashlights powered by hand-cran
k
devices. Why not PCs and TVs powered by foot pedals, or ergonomic
bicycle-type devices under our desks? Deskwork and good exercise at
the
same time.
What if instead of
heating and cooling whole buildings, we designed our clothing (the design of which now
is, let's face it, pretty useless, not nearly durable enough, and
quite silly) to heat
and cool our bodies? No more fighting over where to set the thermostat
-- we each set our own. And don't tell me it would look geeky or
restrict our movement -- good design can solve that. Just use birds as
models.
What if we merged the
technologies of the Smart Car
(lightweight materials, miniaturization) with the technologies of the
recumbent bicycle, the ele
ctric scooter, and the Segway, to create a human-powered
enclosed vehicle that would achieve highway speeds and give us good
exercise while using no fuel whatsoever? Can't be done? That's what
they told the Wrights.
What if we developed a
toilet that produced fertilizer instead of sewage, and delivered it
through the sprinkler system right to your garden?
Yes, I hear you saying that these aren't new ideas, they've been
tried,
some are even being used as we speak. But how do we make them
commercial, mainstream, available to and affordable by everyone? After
all, millions of houses are still being built with wasteful,
inefficient North American style hot water heaters instead of the
long-coil European "instant hot water" heaters. If we're going to save
the world and stuff we can't quit when people nod and say "good idea"
-- we need to commercialize it, make it better, experiment with real
working models, and drive it out until everyone has one, so the need
for the old technologies that these ideas replace -- power plants, the
electrical grid, furnaces, air conditioners, internal combustion
engines, passive hot water tanks, toxic non-recyclable batteries,
maybe
even buildings (to the extent their primary function is to keep heat
in, or out) -- can be done away with.
What is the reason that so many bottom-up ideas and innovations never
make it into the commercial marketplace? I'm not a believer in
conspiracy theories that corporations deliberately buy up and suppress
more durable inventions to keep them from cannibalizing their market.
I
think it's more likely that people with good ideas are just disconnected
from those with the skills and resources needed to implement those
ideas. And vice versa -- those with commercialization skills and
resources are rewarded by the market (and by shareholders) for not
fixing what ain't broke, for not changing what they're doing until and
unless they have to.
So on the one hand we have an astonishing and unprecedented flood of
good ideas, made possible by the democratization of knowledge (the
Internet etc.), and on the other hand we have this incredible inertia
by those who could make those ideas reality, change everything. Not
dissimilar to the paradox of our staggering surplus of cheap (thanks
to
subsidies) foods and medicines at the same time we have epidemics of
hunger, malnutrition and disease. "It's the distribution system", some
say. "It's the lack of security and ethics in the areas of suffering"
say others. "It's the whole economic system, which is designed to
artificially create scarcity to drive up demand and hence profits",
say
others.
It's time to stop excusing ourselves and blaming others for these
disconnects. It's time to stop amusing ourselves to death with
fake-reality shows and the fate of some poor brain-dead woman in
Florida. Where there's a will, there's a way. It's a question of
priorities, of combining energies, and of collaborating in a focused,
informed and urgent manner to fix the
disconnects and make it happen. We have a responsibility to make it happen.
We certainly have the money, the ingenuity and the organizing
technologies to make it happen, so what are we waiting for?
We need to get past our learned helplessness and start talking to each
other about things that matter, things we can fix, and enrolling
ourselves to do so.
Are we just disorganized, or
is our passivity, our inaction, our feelings of helplessness, are
these
things symptoms of something deeper, darker? Or is all this noise,
this
online cacophony, the sound of a billion revving engines just now
shifting into gear?
