Whether you do or not, it's been hard to escape the Jamie propaganda
machine at my university for the last couple weeks: signs, buttons,
toques, shirts, a website, and probably more. As it turns out,
Jamie's just
one of many
interchangeable spokespeople for the cause, apparently with quite a
bit of cash behind them. Google reveals it's a
continent-wide phenomenon. If you do

to explain. Surely, however, the Republican National Convention will
open with such a documentary, which will position Bush comfortably
between Ronald Reagan and God. The Democratic convention will have a
wondrous film about John Kerry. Anyone who thinks one of these
documentaries is "presenting facts objectively without editorializing"
should look at the other one.

Anti-Spam Companies Claim Success; Email
Recipients Disagree
08/23/2004 12:04 PMBecause companies fighting the spam battle need to market themselves,
many are
touting
how much success they've had in fighting spam. There's just one
problem: most users are seeing more spam. There are ways to reconcile
the differences, though. First, there still are a lot of people who
don't use any spam filter. So, whether or not the spam filters are
succeeding, these people are clearly seeing more spam. Second, even
if the spam filters are succeeding in blocking out 95% or 99% or
whatever percent they like to claim, there's still some getting
through. With spammers increasing the amount of spam they send, the
absolute number getting through increases as well. Still, it does
make you wonder how we should define "success" in fighting spam.

Scoble kicks RSS ass?
Scoble kicks RSS ass?
09/12/2004 05:17 AM
Yesterday I wrote
about how Seattle is kicking my ass, now it's time to debunk
Scoble's gross condemnation of RSS.
On Wednesay he posted
a> that MSDN was limiting its RSS feed, dropping full text, because
they were serving terabytes through RSS, and weren't happy with the
economics.
Either Scoble didn't explain or I wasn't paying attention,
because they were doing something very strange<
/a>: aggregating all their blogs into one feed. They have thousands of
blogs. In any hour the chances that one or more blogs changed is near
100 percent. And the feed is huge, every time you load it, you're
downloading a lot of blog posts you don't care about.
The solution is simple, and it follows the grain of the Web,
follows the intent of micro-publishing, and it's the way every other
blogging community works -- simply offer a feed for every blog. That
takes care of everything. It's just wrong to turn a community of
weblogs into one giant Usenet group or Yahoo mail list.
So why does Scoble blame RSS? He's got the journalist's impulse
for sensationalism and he can't say Microsoft is broken or they'd fire
him. ";->"

04/19/2004 07:06 PM
I have to agree with Tim
Bray, Scoble's post on how
to be persuasive in the information age is the best he has
written so far.
Not surprisingly, it points directly at the power of blogging as a
tool of persuason.
I wonder if the word persuation is derived from pursue?
If so, then Scoble
is saying that being persuasive doesn't mean giving a chase, but to
be a person whose
words are worthy of pursuit by the listener.

Scoble is getting a lot of heat for his Hi
Bill post. I don't see why they think he is crazy or
accuse him of insulting
the Windows Media team. The only part that rubbed me the
wrong way was the firing
part. The rest is just a post written by an employee who
cares enough about
the company he works for to hang his balls out the window.
Who cares if his suggestions don't make sense? That's his
blog. Should
bloggers be restricted to writing posts that make sense to
everyone? Well, up
your foobar if you think so.
As to what I think about his post, I think his suggestions are
good. Good, not
in the sense of success or brilliance, but in the sense that such
change will be good
for Microsoft even if the project fails. Like people,
companies don't learn
or evolve while doing the same things the same ways.

I was interested by the account of the BTS 2004

sitting around belyaching that there is no value left in IT, this guy
is rocking on with EAI and BI, two of the three biggest areas of IT
spending right now (consolidation is the third). Things like
.NET Framework tend to get most of the hype from people dealing with
MSFT technologies, but as far as I'm concerned Biztalk and Analysis
Services are the most strategically central products we ship.

Nicely Said: Scoble on Flash
11/01/2002 06:40 AMNicely Said: Scoble on Flash and using it for blogging. After
checking out the wedding stuff, I see that Robert has good comments on
Flash. Here's a selection:
What's so glorious about plain text? Easy: Google can index it.
Photos, videos, and such are nice, but wake me up when Google can look
inside, OK?
What else? Easy. Bandwidth. I'm often on bad bandwidth. Video and
audio just plain suck when you're in some hotel room somewhere trying
to partake of all the Web goodness.
I definitely have to agree with him on the advantages of plain text.
Still Macromedia does publish an API for indexing Flash which at least
one site level search engine, Atomz, supports. A much bigger issue
for me is that Flash is both proprietary and binary. I've been too
burned by vendors when binary data corrupts. HTML doesn't corrupt and
that just plain rocks. I've been in situations where the only way to
update my blog was to use VI. So have others like Iluminent. If we
were purely flash based this wouldn't be possible. [ Go ]

Yesterday I did the unfathomable: I turned down Steven Levy from
Newsweek.
First, some background. Seven years ago when I was doing marketing
for a
small Silicon Valley company (Winnov) I would have given quite a few
of my teeth
to meet with someone like Levy.
Back then I thought it was unfair that the press paid so much
attention to
big companies. It's always Microsoft this. Apple that. Sun the other
thing.
Do I deserve this press attention now? No. I'm quite honored, but
there are
so many companies doing so many interesting things out there that I'd
like to
point out.
Heck, since I know Steven's reading here, how about we point them
out here?
Is your company doing something interesting? Think that Newsweek
should write
about it? Leave a note in the comment field here.
For instance, Greg Reinacker's
href="http://www.newsgator.com">NewsGator is worthy of coverage.
The company
Russell Beattie works for,
href="http://www.wavemarket.com/">WaveMarket, is one I'm watching.
Mobile
services are gonna be hot.
I could go on for years. Feedster. Technorati. Pubsub. Six Apart.
Weblogs
inc. Groove. Konfabulator (coming soon to Windows). Napster. Active
Words.
You do note many of these companies aren't currently using
Microsoft
technologies. So, why do I point to them? For one, they are doing
interesting
work that's expanding the market. That's real important. The way we
all win is
to see new scenarios, new products, new opportunities, built by new
companies.
So, let's hear it. Which companies do you think deserve the press'
attention?
Oh, and Steven: sorry that we weren't able to match our schedules
up this
time.

how she could find information about products just by taking a picture

Neomedia Technologies has finally
figured out that by enabling camera phone users to scan barcodes and
linking that to a net based database with product information and
price comparisons could make for a popular product.

A wee bit tired this morning. I made a quick round of my
normal stops in the blogosphere last night and I happened by the Scobleiz
er. Now I've met Robert in the real world and I always get
something out of reading his stuff -- but it usually doesn't cost me
sleep. You see what happened is Robert pointed me off to Microsof
t Watch and a list of Mi
crosoft bloggers with weblogs. So I thought "Wouldn't it be
nice if they were all indexed". And there I was making sure they
got stuffed into the system. Here's what I found:
- Probably more than 50% of them were already in our database.
Go figure. I guess that either a) people are adding themselves
or b) the RSS auto discovery routines I wrote work better than I
initially thought ;-)
- Microsoft bloggers use a plethora of different tools. I do
think, however, that the dominant one is Radio. Blogger, Movable
Type and other systems are also represented
- Not all Microsoft bloggers have RSS feeds
- Topics span work and personal
- Devhawk.net did a really
smart thing with Feedster -- he added it to has blog's UI essentially
as a "virtual table of contents". Good idea. I think I
need to offer some viewing improvements if people are going to do
this.
- Someone needs to teach the "gotdotnet" folks what RSS
is. Also I couldn't believe their HTML source when I was poking
around. So get ready for a vent.

They seem to be encoding the entire viewing history in a really nasty
way and shipping it back to you every single time. It just gets
bigger. After navigating thru like 3 pages I had 6,554 bytes
sent down the wire that did nothing for me. Thanks for
nothing.</RANT>
I guess its not all that bad actually but it just seems damn

After the weblogs.com hosting debacle<
/a> surfaced yet again by people trying to reignite the flames, I
decided to try to discuss it again with David Weinberger, whose
comments in the middle of the flamefest are widely cited as evidence
of how I didn't do all I should have done to notify people with blogs
on weblogs.com. I know David to be a thoughtful, careful and
considerate person. And to this day well-intentioned people question
my integrity over these events. That's not cool for a person such as
myself who values his integrity.
We reviewed the options that people suggested at the time, 1.
Send an email, or 2. Post something on Scripting News. Neither would
have worked, the mail addresses were four years old and probably
didn't work, most of the sites never got past the Hello World stage
(so the authors might not remember creating the site, and certainly
don't care), and most people with free sites weren't and probably
still aren't Scripting News readers, any more than most Blogger users
were Evhead readers.
Posting something on Scripting News wouldn't have notified the
users, but it sure would have notified the flamers. I think they were
saying that they were complaining that they weren't told in advance
that it was time to rip me a new one. ";->"
Anyway, he posted a correctio
n, so next time this comes up, as it is sure to, the flamers won't
be able to use him to support their attacks. Thanks!

Now that I've come up for air after my latest codin
g frenzy, I see that Brian
Bailey has done something I should've done a long time ago: than
k Dave Winer for his huge contributions to our syndicated
world.
FeedDemon relies on RSS, OPML, weblogs, podcasting and SOAP - all
of which were invented, co-invented or evangelized by Dave Winer. I'm
having a blast developing FeedDemon, so thank you, Dave, for making my
world a better a one.

mentioned W3C and RSS. What is the specific proposal here? My
impression is that promoting existing formats is not in the W3C's
mission. I see W3C as a standards development body; given that RSS is
basically done I don't see the relevance. There was PNG, where the W3C
basically rubber-stamped an existing, community-developed
specification, but I don't think PNG gained anything from that.
Turning over maintenance of RSS would be riskier IMO, because of the
possibility that the W3C would want to redesign (fork) it.
