Google's Internal Blogs

Google's Internal Blogs 10/29/2003 12:12 AM

Evan Williams on Google's intranet weblogs:

How many people blog at Google?

Not sure what the count is, but I know there's a couple hundred or more. It's really interesting to see the network grow from scratch.

Do you use that to get to know one another or to keep up-to-date on projects?

A lot of people use it to keep up-to-date on projects and to share pointers or expertise. I've heard people comment on how it's way easier to know what's going on internally now. You can find out what's going on when you go there or when you're curious about it, but you don't have to be deluged or distracted from your normal day.

Markup question: I used a definition list in the above quotation - was this appropriate? Is there a better way of marking up this information?

Are bl0gs just?

Are bl0gs just? 01/08/2004 08:04 PM

Lou Marinoff described one definition of Justice as "doing the right thing at the right time." He continued by explaining that it means you have to define "right thing".

There are at least eleven ways of being right.

1. deontology - rules tell us what is right and wrong
2. teleology - The end justifies (or sanctifies) the means
3. virtue ethics - goodness comes from virtues, which are like habits
4. humanistic existentialism - what we choose to do determines what we value
5. nihilistic existentialism - "God is dead." And we killed him. So all moral bets are off
6. analytic ethics - "Goodness" cannot be defined or analyzed
7. correlative ethics - every right entails an obligation, and vice-versa
8. sociobiology - ideas of "right" and "wrong" are motivated by our genes
9. feminist ethics - women have different moral priorities: e.g. ethics of caring
10. legal moralism - if it's legal, it's ethical
11. meta-ethical relativism - each situation has its own unique ethical dimension

Aeons ago, Clay asserted that power-laws existed in blogs and that it was in-equal but fair. Maybe he is basically being a deontologists with a bit of legal moralism thrown in. The rules are fair so it's OK. Marko (a philosopher among other things) asks the question, "So the interesting question this raises is: What are the principles if satisfied that would show the blogging world to be a just institutional structure? And the meta-level question: How would we justify these principles to each other?" I know that Marko is an expert on "justice" and my simple explanation above is far to simple, but this dialog about whether blogs are fair, good or just forces us to examine what we mean by fair, right and just. I think that in order for us to justify these principles, we might need to define Virtue. (Since defining "right" is so difficult.) According to Lou:

Aristotle said that Virtue is the Golden Mean between two extremes. It was all about balance. "Rational" comes from "ratio". The idea was to triangulate from two extremes of vice. For example, Courage is the mean between cowardice and rashness.

I know Dave Winer likes the word "triangulation" and the blogs are good at that. Is it possible that blogs can help us get out of the echo chamber and achieve the Aristotelian Virtue of the Golden Mean? (I know many people disagree with this, but I continue to believe as I argued in my Emergent Democracy paper that this is possible.) da nah expresses her opinion that blogs are not an equalizing technology and that it is the a technology for the privileged. To her, fair (and probably just) isn't about having rules that are difficult to game, but rather about being available and designed to promote equality. She is probably more of a teleologist with a bit of correlative ethics and feminism thrown in. (Sorry, just playing with the labels a bit. Don't mind me.)

To finally tie it into the discussion about technological determinism vs social constructivism, I think we need to be aware that we have an active effect on how the architecture of this technology evolves. I don't think we can yet "show the blogging world to be a just institutional structure", but rather we can try to determine what is just and strive to make the blogging world into something we feel is just. This requires us to dive into some of the questions that even Aristotle didn't answer. What is right? What is just? Hopefully the tools themselves will help guide this discussion, but rather than be nihilistic or deterministic, I think we should be actively involved in a dialog that best represents a consensus of our views. In order for this to be just, we must try be as inclusive as possible of everyone and on this I agree with danah. The tool is not yet inclusive. I think that blogs are right in many ways, but are far from right in many others. How can we try to make blogs as right and just as possible. I think that this is the question that faces us today.

Phil Ringnalda: Sam will be delighted to know that they validate out of the box. Charles will be delighted to know that they include both Last-Modified and Etag headers, and apoplectic over the way that when presented with the proper If-Modified-Since and If-None-Match headers to reply to a request with a 304 Not Modified, they instead return a 200, with the exact same Last-Modified and Etag headers, and the exact same content. I would share Charles's concern.  On the plus side, I'm pleased to see utf-8 used consistently throughout (in both the content and the HTTP headers, and in both the html and feed).  I'm also delighted to see feed autodiscovery being used. If you have an aggregator, or are running one of those popular planet* type of sites where you republish a combination of the feeds of others, then you really should make sure that you pass these aggregator tests.

The Democrats have sent a msg to the faithful (including me) drawing our attention to some bad taste going on over at the W blog where they're quoting part of a Jack Dunphy column at Nationnal Review Online. The part quoted on the Bush site makes fun of the fire fighters and police officers who have come out in support of Kerry, saying that they're beer-bellied poseurs, not the working class, straight-talkin' rank and file. Big deal. It's some rabble-rousing flamery along the lines of calling Dean a Birkenstock-wearing, brie-eating, Volvo-driving, effete Liberal. It reads as dumb and emotive, but,...

Blood on bl0gs

Blood on bl0gs 12/18/2003 11:45 AM
My friend Rebecca Blood has a piece on blogs in The Guardian that tries to shift our enthusiasms about weblogs. I'm not entirely convinced by it. She starts by saying that "no one really understands weblogs." Fair enough. She then puts holes in those who have described weblogs in "outrageously overblown terms": Enthusiasm abounds. Bloggers enjoy describing themselves as pioneers, though their ideas of innovation are sometimes suspect. "We are writing ourselves into existence," some ecstatically proclaim, as if Pepys and Boswell and the historic legions of their fellow journal-writers had never existed. As the guy who said "We are...

When will the madness end. Seems cyber criminals are creating legitimate looking weblogs and putting information on them that is designed to draw people in. Then through social engineering are getting people to click on links that have underlying nasty programs.

I when I read his post, I initially mistook the Aug 1 posting date for April 1st. Steve Rubel suggests that we need a .blogs domain. First of all, TLDs are generally singular (.com vs. .coms or .orgs or .nets and so on). But more importantly it's just a dumb idea. Sorry, Steve, but I can think of no better way to say this. A year or two from now, blogs will exist in a form that's different than today....
