There I was, standing in the middle of my audience with the laptop and projector, giving a talk about bringing Linux into a business. I had to constantly spin around to talk to everyone, and it was distracting to tap on the laptop to go to the next slide. I wished I could be up at the front of the room, but I wasn't going to run a thick VGA cable across the floor between my laptop on the lectern and the projector. I couldn't help thinking there must be a better way -- and there is.

Addendum to Our RSS Presentation

Addendum to Our RSS Presentation 11/05/2003 01:14 PM

A quick note for those who attended yesterday's presentation about RSS. Unfortunately, when Steven and I were putting together the presentation, we lost a slide, perhaps the most important slide - the one that told you how to get started. We didn't realize this until it was too late, so in an attempt to rectify this omission, here is what you should do now that RSS is on your radar.

1. Go to BlogLines at http://www.bloglines.com/
    
2. Sign up for a free account.
    
3. Find 5-6 feeds that interest you and subscribe to them in BlogLines. If you're looking for library feeds to help you stay current, try LISFeeds, Peter Scott's List of Library Weblogs, LIS Blogsource, or the ODP List of Library Weblogs. If you're looking for the fun, non-library feeds (cats, knitting, recipes, etc.), try typing in a subject at Syndic8 or NewsIsFree. You can also try this at Technorati and Feedster, but they don't specifically highlight RSS feeds so you'll probably have to go to the blog itself to get that once you find a blog you like.
    
4. Once you've found a couple of blogs you'd like to read regularly, find the link to the RSS feed on their home page and subscribe to them in BlogLines.
    
5. Track a handful of sites in BlogLines to get a sense of how RSS and aggregators work. If you get to a point where you need a more powerful aggregator with more features, then you can start looking at some of the other ones we highlighted during the presentation

And I would second Liz Lawley's method of reading magazines in a news aggregator (like BlogLines). Keep up with Salon, Wired News, etc. this way instead of going to their web sites every day looking for new content. And as always, if you have questions about any of this, please don't hesitate to contact Steven or me.

Technorati: Charting Blogdom's Rise

"Sifry mentioned that Technorati started out on Thanksgiving weekend 2002 as an effort to find out "who was talking about me" in the blogosphere. Since then, it has begun charting an increasing number of blogs -- an average of:

- 3,000 a day in January 2003
- 4,000 a day by that March
- 6,000 a day by June 2003
- 8,000-9,000 new blogs a day by September 2003
- 10,000 at the end of 2003
- 11,000 to 12,000 new blogs a day today.

That's pretty incredible, and it adds up to 2.4 million total blogs that Technorati is monitoring. Not all are active. Of that number, about 45 percent have not been updated in the past three months. And he points out that 2.4 million blogs does not equate to 2.4 million bloggers, because many bloggers have multiple blogs." [JD's New Media Musings]

It would be interesting to know how many of those are by librarians and how many are for libraries.

HTML Tidy Presentation 05/12/2004 07:08 AM

Tidying up your HTML with PHP: This appears to be a PowerPoint converted to HTML, so the presentation is a little horrid, but the content is amazing. We've talked about HTML Tidy integration with PHP5 befo re, but this details here are fantastic.

Yes, you know Tidy can make your HTML pretty. But did you know that Tidy can take your legacy HTML — FONT tags and all — and convert it to CSS on the fly? Or XHTML ? Did you know it has a first-rat e HTML parser with a dirt-simple PHP API?

Great stuff here. Can't wait for PHP5. Via the always great PHP|Architect.

Back in June I gave a presentation to the Boston ACM. The talk went much longer than I'd planned, and I only managed to get through one of the two sets of slides I had. I promised everyone I'd get an annotated version of the mystery presentation up as soon as I could. Of course, this was in the middle of my machine's "thrashing about and dying" phase, so it's taken a little longer than I'd originally planned. Finally got it done, though, so if you're interested feel free to snag the annotated PDF of my Parrot Implementations talk. It...

At the BlogOn conference, a Microsoft presenter asked his audience how many of them used Internet Explorer:

Probably 99 times out of 100 when he asks that question all the hands go up, right? Well first there was a pause and then a giggle and then a whoop of laughter as the audience looked around and realized that NO ONE had raised a hand. The presenter was thrown off his mark, but he recovered and said, "Wow! Okay how many of you wish we'd fix IE so you could use it?"

Still no hands....

Informal survey afterwards said the Windows users in the crowd were all using the latest Firefox. Wouldn't it be amazing if Mozilla ended up winning in the end?

Ross' Presentation today

Ross' Presentation today 07/23/2004 11:43 AM

So none of you have to be here today. 'Cause here's Ross' presentation. Why the term has suddenly shifted to social media - I'm not sure - but if there weren't terms and semantics to discuss - then what WOULD we talk about?

Oh yah - I know: "what is a conversation?"

Or even better: "what makes someone a Blogger?"

Here's Ross' post.....

Discussing Social Media

This post is in lieu of Powerpoint to introduce the Defining Social Media panel at BlogOn tomorrow with Dan Gillmor, James Currier, Reid Hoffman, Michael Sikillian and Jim Spohrer.

How We Got Here

The Internet has always facilitated conversations and augmented relationships. When a critical mass of participation is gained, cooperation ensues and simple tools have complex results. The earliest innovators in this adoption lifecycle were geeks and hackers. Put enough of them together and you get a new mode of production to disrupt the software industry and enable a new phase of growth — open source.

What we are witnessing is segments of early providers and early adopters form previously unrepresented networks and apply participatory technologies to disrupt industries. Earlier adoption segments include software, media, advertising, entertainment, politics, dating, recruiting, consumer electronics, sales, management, the list goes on. All these segments are information intensive and rely on relationships. And as Doc says, its a revolution in demand-based supply:

Landscape

There is little point in defining Social Software, Media, Search, Computing or Networking, except that new language parallels innovation. Here’s my way of mapping the space, feel free to mo dify and make your own.

Social Software, a term coined by Clay Shirky, is the design of systems that supports groups with an underlying value proposition of building social capital…

Social Software is not that new, but its currently a gr owing and evolving sector marked by a high level of cross-polinization. The level of innovation defys easy categorization.

Properties include people-centricity, low communication costs, low transaction costs that encourage adoption, easy group forming, triads rather than pairs, treating groups as first class objects in the system and adapting to the social network (heterarchy) rather than requiring it to adapt it it (heirarchy). Second order effects include emergence, reputation, different values at different scales, transparency, decentralization and fun parties.

Other dimensions to view this space include enterprise vs. consumer, how connections are formed, different values at different scales, what markets are cannibalized, what cultures (not markets, but don’t reach for your gun) are served and open vs. closed.

These dimension easily blur. Take for example the distinction of enterprise vs. consumer. Social Software adoption is being driven in the enterprise from the bottom up. Initially, it users as developers bringing in their own tools like personal publishing and wikis plus (shameless plug here) enlightened companies serving both users and enterprises at different scales.



Drivers

• Sales of camera phones with outpace cameras and phones within five years. The fastest growing consumer electronic device hasn’t yet been matched with robust sharing services, save Photologs and Moblogging. These are the fastest growing segments of social media and Incumbents are catching on.
  
• People spend time with other people. 2 Hours Per Visit on Friendster (pdf) make it ripe for ad revenue.
• We have an innate human need to mess with media and make artifacts their own (call this a plausable generalization). What you share makes us care.
  
• Co untries and cultures like the US and UK have a latent demand for social capital
• Pull models of attention management and social networks as filters are solutions for attention scarcity and information abundance
• Relatively low costs for personal publishing, group forming and network management are expanding markets from the supply side
  
• Above all, ease of use. Simple tools yield complex results.

Talk of Bubblet

After initial events like the Blogger acquisition by Google, Six Apart funding, Socialtext seeding and the Social Networking bubbl et — there is a recent spate of significant fundings in this area like Technorati, Newsgator, and Feedburner that bring it renewed attention.



The Consumer Internet is a ripe investment thesis where a small up front investment can yield potentially large returns and many of these companies represent a reinvention of the way the web works and viral growth.

Opportunities still remain within the enterprise. The vast majority of employees are not involved in process that software can automate, they manage exceptions to process. Today all they have is email (90% of collaboration and 75% of knowledge assets is trapped there). Enterprise Social Software seeks to serve the unmet needs of knowledge work and business practice, beginning with a proposition of making group communication efficient and effective.

Expect a byproduct of the BlogOn conference to be coverage that suggests an investment bubblet. Reason being that the early entrants who paid their dues and have success stories to tell are reaching a level of investor interest that’s attracting copycat competition. But skepticism is more than warranted.



Risk Factors

• Privacy — relationship data is extremely sensitive and conflicts between enterprise and individual incentives abound
• Growth — many models require scale for return and not all achieve viral levels
• Low Barriers to Entry — there isn’t much in the way of technology risk, the network is accessible and the LAMP stack drives down startup costs. Network effects are the natural and equitable barrier.
• DIY — if you fail to serve the network, the network will serve itself
  
• Intellectual Property — regimes prevent sharing and development of the commons

Value Proposition



The underlying value proposition across social software is enhancing social capital. But a couple of unique factors are worth consideration.

• Influence — when you increase the level of participation, so too increases the value of reputation. In advertising, at a time where ad space is starting to become scarice, new metrics and formats could build upon influence. Within enterprises, the trend towards decentralization requires revealing the power law and augmenting the heterarchy.
• Economies — used to be that competitive advantage was driven by economies of scale and speed. A more networked economy shifts the focus to economies of scope and span.
• Embracing Change — when vendors hand over control to users as developers (as is the case with wikis enabling users to create information architecture for their own situations, it shares risk and reward.
• Pooling Risk — Social Software vendors have cooperated early with standards like RSS, Atom, FOAF and Kwiki. This pools risks for vendors, enables new combinations and reduces lock-in for customers and users.

So I’ve tried to frame ways of viewing the space. Now its time for questions and conversation. Here’s another way of thinking from Mr. Conversation himself, Doc again:

< font>

Computing is growing up. When computing was personal, it cared mostly about itself: me and my programs, my printer, my stored information. Now computing is social. A PC off the Net is like a disconnected telephone. The Network is a social place. What we’re doing now is building out that place — that commons, using a variety of tools and building materials.

FOAFnet presentation at Galway

FOAFnet presentation at Galway 09/01/2004 09:36 AM

Julian Bond (of Ecademy) is up on stage right now - explaining the FOAFnet.

I have some screen shots to show - of the upcoming new release of Tribe.net - which will have FOAFnet features in it.

From the Tribe marketing team:

[[[KEY MESSAGES - GUIDE FOR TALKING ABOUT TRIBE'S BUSINESS]]]

Message #1 - Consumer Benefit
Tribe is an online resource for enabling consumers to make local connections in their respective cities and leverage community opinion/feedback to get things done. Our leading marketplace can link members with local opportunities around apartments, jobs, events and services by connecting who they know (friends and those with common interests) with what they are looking for (sublet for the summer, coffee table, dentist recommendation).

Message #2 - Business Opportunity
The online classifieds market is exploding as more consumers move online
- However, research shows half of person-to-person buy/sell transactions occur outside of traditional classifieds channels (KRD research) - i.e. local word of mouth

Estimated size of this private party market = $7B-9B by 2008 (Kannon
Consulting)
- No local media exists today to capture these dollars - virtually untapped.

Tribe fills this gap with its local focus, community networking tools and Web-based, self-service listings.
- Tribe is well poised to capitalize on this opportunity with $6.3M in funding from Mayfield, Knight Ridder Digital and Washington Post Company. These big media companies view our offering as a way to capture dollars around private party transactions.

Message #3 - Revenue Model
Tribe is pursuing a proven, traditional classifieds revenue model - we will eventually charge for commercial listings in a handful of high-value categories, like jobs or apartments, but the bulk of our listings will be free. Unlike sites like Friendster, we have stated from the beginning that we have no plans to charge our members subscription fees to connect on our site.

Message #4 - Competitive Landscape
Companies like Friendster and Craigslist leverage certain elements of our offering, but no single Web site merges online community tools like individual profiles, online discussion groups and networking technology, then applies this combination to a local classifieds marketplace.

We are not a pure social network like Friendster or LinkedIn. Tribe's social network has always had a specific purpose - it gives consumers visibility into important connections so they can make better-informed decisions and reap unexpected benefits.

Message #5 - Differentiators
Craigslist: We think the opportunity around the local Internet is staggering. Craigslist demonstrates that there is a wide open field around localized online media - and we aim to take it to the next level. Tribe wants to be the ultimate tool enabling your community to act as your filter
-- surfacing shared local opinions/information so it can help guide your life.

Friendster: Both Tribe and Friendster leverage social networking technology, but that's where the similarity ends. Friendster is competing with Match.com in online dating and is pursuing a pay-to-connect model. Tribe is building a local classifieds marketplace. These are entirely different businesses.

[[[SPECIFIC Q&A AROUND LAUNCH PLANS]]]

Q: What are Tribe's plans with Knight Ridder and the Post? What can we expect to see next?

A: Tribe's primary goal is offer consumers new ways to connect with their respective cities and leverage collective feedback to make better decisions. In collaboration with its investors, Tribe is crystallizing its strategy for delivering its marketplace and expects to start testing some new functionality in certain markets in the next month or so.

Q: Is Tribe targeting Philadelphia specifically?

A: Yes. Tribe is actually active in several markets, including San Francisco, Boston, New York and Los Angeles.

Q: Does Tribe have plans to integrate with Knight Ridder properties?

A: No.

So you can see Tribe in heavily into FOAF. Others are too.
