12/26/2004 11:11 AMAdam thinks that Flickr will be bought by Google early next year. This
isn't the first "Google wants to buy Flickr" rumor I've heard, but it
is the first one I've seen on a blog. As a Flickr user and an out of
the closet Flickr fan, I'm always worried when anyone talks of great
little companies being bought by a Big Company. Why? Big Companies
have a way of buying cool services and then making them way less
cool....

Flickr for image-sharing launches at
ETCON
Flickr for image-sharing launches at
ETCON
02/10/2004 09:27 PMLudicorp (disclosure: I'm an advisor to Ludicorp), whose Game
Neverending was one of the most interesting social software projects
of the last two years, has just launched a new product, called
Flickr, live on-stage at ETCON.
Flikr is a social image-sharing application: it's a mechanism for
creating ad-hoc chats, using a drag-and-drop GUI interface that lives
inside your browser, and share images from peer-to-peer and within
conversational groups.
I've beta-tested this at various points and at each time I've been
struck by Ludicorp's amazing combination of utilitarian, usable
interface aesthetic and genuinely witty whimsy. As Ben Ceivgny, a
developer on the project, said:
We collect images with cameraphones and so forth, but we have no good
mechanism for advancing them out into the world. Here's a mechanism
for batching them into a locked-and-loaded tool for firing them into
the world.

Photo Sharing Gone Wild
Photo Sharing Gone Wild
06/25/2004 05:10 PM“Moblogs are weblogs that typically feature grainy, low-res
photos taken with cell phone cameras. People e-mail the images from
their phones to a site like Fotolog, Plogger, or TextAmerica, where
their pix can be immediately seen and ridiculed (or praised) by
complete strangers. Besides offering instant, if limited, celebrity,
moblogs provide a unique form of spontaneous photojournalism. They can
also be downright weird.”

photo syndication tools
07/15/2004 05:31 AMLudicorp, who make the awesome Flickr photo-sharing service, have
signed a deal with Feedburner to develop new tools and standards for
syndicating photos -- and they've released their first technology,
called "splicing." (Disclosure: I am on Ludicorp's advisory board)
Splicing gives people the ability to offer a single RSS feed which
contains a chronologically ordered arrangement of their photostream
from Flickr and the feed from their existing blog (so you might end up
with something like blog post, blog post, photo, photo, photo, blog
post, photo, blog post, photo, photo, and so on).
Part of the story is this: photos are a perfect application of RSS.
You can stick an html reference to a photo into a feed right now, but
our namespace will allow for passing along the social context of the
image: the raw pixels have value, but the title, description,
comments, tags and notes, along with things like EXIF data add a whole
other dimension of value.

Thanks, Stewart!)

Why Yahoo buying ODDpost is so important
Why Yahoo buying ODDpost is so important
07/10/2004 06:41 AM
Wow - OK we start off with some different opinions on this historic
deal from (it's 3:30AM and I just gotta blog this NOW!):
Ev
(Evan Eliiams of Blogger/Google)
Congrats to the Oddposters!
I always liked those guys (though we
never got around to having lunch... damn, and
now, between their supermodel dates and rockstar parties, I doubt
they'll return
my emails. I shoulda made friends with them when I had the chance...
Then again, it's useful now that we're sworn enemies that we were
never friends...)
Here's to the web world continuing to heat up with new and
interesting things brought to more people!
Dave
Winer......
A couple of weeks ago I got a heads-up that this deal had been
consumated and would be announced shortly. Little did I imagine then
that they would pick a Friday evening to make the announcement,
but that's the way it goes. It's
a big one.
Oddpost turned the idea of what you could do with a browser
upside down, by producing a clone of Microsoft Outlook in JavaScript
and DHTML running in MSIE. Since then, they have labored in relative
obscurity, growing a customer base, raising VC money, adding people,
and staying out of the way. Then Google launches Gmail, with a
very Oddpostish interface, and someone at Yahoo says "Hmmm, I've seen
that somewhere," calls up Ethan and Iain and their new VCs and asks
"Are you for sale?" and the rest is history. Now Google has
competition on elegance of user interface. Sorry the announcement
comes at such an awkard time, everyone in the tech press must be
getting in their cars and driving to the beach or the mountains.
Congrats to the Oddpost guys, and their users and investors, and
congrats to Google for getting some new worthwhile competition. Now
who is Microsoft going to buy?
Techdirt...
.
So, we actually heard about this a couple weeks ago, when someone
(who knew) passed
on the fact that Yahoo had bought Oddpost in an attempt to fight back
against the Gmail craze. Now, though, the deal is official, so it's
okay to talk about it (though it had been hinte
d at earlier this week). It's really not that surprising, after
all. Yahoo knew
they needed to upgrade their email, and Oddpost has a great reputation
for their
interface. You can be sure that Yahoo wasn't the only company sniffing
around
and debating whether or not to buy up Oddpost. While it's probably not
going to
be the lead in most stories, it is quite interesting that one of
Oddpost's nicer
features is an integrated RSS reader. Yahoo keeps talking up the power
of RSS,
and perhaps this will allow them to make a bigger commitment. However,
in all
likelihood, it was just the mail interface that fascinated them. It
seems like a
good move by Yahoo who needed to do something.
OK - here's where my opinion starts......
This story is much more than Yahoo buying ODDpost to compete with
GMail. Sure - that's part of it - and I'm sure that's what Terry
Semel et al have in thier heads, but it's this sort of viral infusion
into Yahoo that was needed.
This is much bigger than the search engine battles or even Yahoo
versus Google.
This is about RIAs (rich internet apps), integrated web services
and open standards being fused with productivity software,
micro-content and social networking and offered as hosted
experiences.
Does this sound like anything familiar?
Yahoo has defined what portals have been - since day one - but
their UI just plain sucked! Even the valiant attempts at providing
"customization" features in MyYahoo - were tolerable at best.
Yahoo supports RSS and has over 120M active end-users. Yahoo is
showing how portals and ISPs can work together by providing software
bundled with services - to the masses.
But ODDpost makes it a whole new ball game.
Now Yahoo can step up to teh front on "end-user" experience. That
holey grail that's been eluding them since day one. HTML was never
desigend and will never fulfill the end-user quotient. The human
factor.
The essence of compelling experiences.
HTML will also suck. But once you can truly integrate rich
interactive experienecs in teh browser, and tie it into services and
functionality - you got a winnign formula for digital lifestyle
aggregation!
And once you have email, why stop there? Why not jukeboxes (like
MySpace has) or photo blog
objects (like Flickr) or Tribe Listings, Friends and Tribes appearing in blog
gutters - as well?
Why stop there? Why not support an Open Listings standard and just
completely screw Google completely?
Certainly let's hope that Yahoo will support FOAF.
Google is (or will) or (I sure hope they will.)

07/13/2004 12:13 PMWell, it's not quite as big a deal as Yahoo buying Oddpost, but Google
has now
bought photo-sharing company
Picasa, which was already a Blogger partner. It's not a huge
surprise to see Google expanding their offerings in more of the portal
direction. The only question, of course, is how many spare Gmail gigs
are going to be offered for people storing photos. Also, will people
now complain that Google is scanning your personal photos in order to
put up relevant advertising?
