Abbie Hoffman MP3s
04/04/2005 06:25 PMMark Frauenfelder:
Steal this LP: here's Abbie Hoffman's 1969 record album,
Wake Up
America! in MP3 format.
This reminded me of the time I met Hoffman. It was around 1985 or
1986, when Carla and I went to a 1960s conference in San Francisco.
(Tom Robbins, Timothy Leary, Paul Krassner, and so on, were there. We
went mainly to see Leary.)
Some reporter from a paper up in Marin or Sonoma spotted us and
decided to write an article about us -- still not sure why. Anyway, he
insisted on introducing us to Abbie Hoffman, who was there. I think he
had recently come out of hiding. I hate meeting famous people in
situations like this, and I wasn't looking forward to meeting but
Carla and I meekly went along at the reporter's insistence. Hoffman
was standing in the lobby, looking very grumpy. We were introduced,
and he gruffly shook our hands, but avoided eye contact. He then
announced to us, without looking at any of us, that he needed to find
a payphone to get the score to a ball game, because he had money
riding on the outcome. He walked away without saying anything else.
I don't blame him for not wanting to be bothered, but I learned
something. To this day, when I have the opportunity to meet a famous
person, I almost always decline. I usually don't have anything to say
to them and they don't have anything to say to me.

More Reid Hoffman convincings.....
[otherwise known as a debate]
05/21/2004 04:04 AMOk - we start off with Scott Allen's two
cents....
The CEOs of the Red Herring 100 have all been invited to blog as
part of the the Red Herring Spring Eventspace. You can go
directly to a list of the blogs in a drop-down menu or list of hyperlinks.
This is a great concept, and could be pretty intriguing. The blogs
are open for participation to the public, so you can post and have
public dialog with the CEOs of these companies.
The real question, though, is what kind of participation it will
get from the CEOs themselves. The site’s been up for about four
days, and so far, there are a whole lot of questions and not many
answers. In fact, the only CEO response I could find so far was
LinkedIn CEO Reid Hoffman’s response to
Marc Canter’s challenge about LinkedIn
supporting FOAF:
I guess here’s the short-hand: we’ll add FOAF
when it seems to be the next most important feature to add in our
list. And, not seeing an immediate application for it (we have two
years of features to build, all of which have immediate application),
I’m not certain it’s any time in the near
future.
Good answer. Stay focused on what your users are
asking for. I know LinkedIn has a long list of those things —
I’ve sent in quite a few myself.
Canter counters in his own inimitable style on his
blog:
So dude - you know I love yah - right? But your answer is
[bleep]. It takes no time to implement FOAF and it provides a basic,
compelling solution that all humans (read: end-users and/or customers)
need.
Why don’t you just say why you really don’t wanna support
FOAF? Come on - be a man about it.
By locking all your customers into LinkedIn - they’re YOUR
customers - mwah hah hah hah
hah!
I can really see both sides on this
one. Would it be more convenient for me for LinkedIn to support FOAF?
Absolutely. I’d love to not have to port my profile from one
network to the next, and, at least in theory, ditto for my
relationships.
Here’s the problem, though, Marc — my relationships on
LinkedIn are NOT the same as my relationships on Ryze are NOT the same
as my relationships on Ecademy are NOT the same as my relationships on
Tribe, etc.
On Ecademy, being “connected” just means that we’ve
exchanged private messages. On LinkedIn, it means that there’s
been a confirmation of a trusted relationship. Someone who I would
count as a friend on Ryze, I wouldn’t necessarily list as a
connection on LinkedIn. Who I’m willing to make an electronic
record of my relationship with DOES depend on the context in which
that relationship is going to be used.
Furthermore, as big a supporter of openness as I am, I recognize
that not everyone wants to make all their relationships public. Having
an open FOAF file is fraught with the potential for abuse. For someone
with absolutely no boundaries between personal and professional
spheres of your life, that may work. It won’t play in
Poughkeepsie. I support the basic concept of interoperability, but
it’s going to take a standard with more granular security control
than FOAF to garner widespread adoption. [online business networks blog]
![[Red Herring Spring]](http://www.redherring.com/images/Promotions/RH100topPrvCmp_d.gif)
Then we got some more followup from
Reid......
Reid Hoffman, May 20, 12:35pm
Scott Allen actually took the words out of my
mouth on FOAF:
http://www.onlinebusinessnetworks.com/blog/2004
/05/19/100-ceo-blogs-linkedin-and-foaf
And, while, yes, while I certainly wouldn't just give away
customer relationships (being a man about this), I believe that
customers are kept most happy by giving them functionality.
And, frankly, I remain unconvinced of any FOAF application that
I've seen thus far. (Including, my regrets, the one posted here.) If
there was a web-app that I could offer my customers, that having FOAF
would enable me, then I would do it -- if it was good enough to be a
high priority.
And no feature is free Marc -- it all takes work. (Release, QA,
plan with security, analyze corner cases, etc.) Hopefully you'll blog
about Scott's post above... best thing that I've seen on FOAF in a
blog yet. [
Reid Hoffman on
SocialText Wiki]
OK Reid - let's start off with....
Compelling usage for FOAF - that's relevant to
Reid. So EDS has this great deal with Plaxo (or Spoke - it
doesn't really matter) and some EDS employees are on LinkedIn as
well. However since the Spoke users are in a groove and getting
allot of value out of Spoke, they don't see a need for
LinkedIn.
One day they wake up and wow! LinkedIn supports FOAF now.
"You mean I can move my net over to LinekdIn - without having to enter
them one at a time?" Oh gee, maybe LinekdIn benefits from
that. And the EDS folks do too!
Now to bean counting....
You raised how many millions from your buddy Mr. Moritz?
Adding FOAF, QAing it and printing 1,000,000 CDs would cost less than
the lawyer fees for your VC funding round. So PLEASE don;t tell
me how expensive it is - how busy you are - and FOAF is not
important to you.
Give me a break! What more important than giving your
customers what they want?
Scott is a customer. He uses your network and HE
sees the need for interchange - why can't you? I see
you all over the place - on Orkut, on Tribe, on Ryze -yet you're
sitting there - clicking away adding friends just like the rest
ofus. Aren't you gettign tired of that yet?
Scott very eloquently points out the difference between each
social network. He points out that trying to match how each
social net treats friendships, relationships, etc - is
different.
Scott elucidates the value added differentiation between
Ryze and LinkedIn - and you know what? That's why they're
different, that's why different people go to each service. Vive
le Difrance!
Social Networks ARE NOT going to line up convieniently and work
together or interchange without some level of conversion, adjustment,
mapping, reconciliation and transcoding. You don't have to
listen to Clay Shirky or danah boyd to figure out that for every
context, they'll be a different way of using explicit relationships,
hard coded computer systems and soft edged human intervention.
Each system is different. You know what can connect them
together. FOAF!
But instead of using difference and non synchronization of
concepts (of friendship, of trust, of interests, etc.) as an excuse
why you DON"T WANNA CONNECT to anyone else - how 'bout we work
together and make this interchange notion work? It's actually
quite an interesting challenge.
And this matter of privacy is another just another lame ass
excuse (excuse my French as my real friend Loic would say.) It
doesn't matter where you're at - whether you're in Ryze, LinkedIn or
Tribe - everyone wants to protect their meta and profile data. .
FOAF gives everyone the power to control their profiles - not open
them up to the world. NO -FOAF doens't have privacy
built-in. Would you use it? I don't think so.
FOAF is a just an object wrapper technology - which can hold any
kind of unqiue ID, meta data or profile info. Its up to us to do
something coolio with that potential. So please don't start
claiming FOAF means giving everything away. It doesn't.
The PEOPLE want the feature Reid. Give it to them or end up like
Friendster. What happens when Plaxo and Spoke support FOAF and
you don't?
I don't have millions of dollars in my bank account
(anymore.) We don't have VC money either. What we have is
what humans want. That's what our business model is. To me
that means profits. Giving people what they want.
Digital ID doesn't work on it's own. There's no clear
application for digital ID by itself. That's all FOAF is.
But to use FOAF to interchange entire social nets. NOW THAT
ROCKS! Just ask around.
Have you ever met Doc Searls before? How 'bout David
Weinberger?

06/30/2004 01:12 PMTime has good news for nosy, racist jerks: the Dept. of
Homeland Security is enlisting 400,000 people to report on suspicious
behavior in public areas.
After the [training] session in Little Rock, two newly
initiated Highway Watch members sat down for the catered barbecue
lunch. The truckers, who haul hazardous material across 48 states,
explained how easy it is to spot "Islamics" on the road: just look for
their turbans. Quite a few of them are truck drivers, says William
Westfall of Van Buren, Ark. "I'll be honest. They know they're not
welcome at truck stops. There's still a lot of animosity toward
Islamics." Eddie Dean of Fort Smith, Ark., also has little doubt about
his ability to identify Muslims: "You can tell where they're from. You
can hear their accents. They're not real clean people."
That kind of prejudice is hard to undo, but it's a shame Beatty's
slide show did not mention that in the U.S., it's almost always Sikhs
who wear turbans, not Muslims. Last year a Sikh truck driver who was
wearing a turban was shot twice while standing near his tractor
trailer in Phoenix, Ariz. He survived the attack, which police are
investigating as a hate crime.

French blogger and journalist Emmannuelle Richard posts an appeal for
the release of the two french journalists, Christian Chesnot and
Georges Malbrunot, currently held hostage in Iraq:
Back from a family, Internet-free vacation. Still, I was
worn down by the news of the kidnapping of two French journalists
and colleagues of RFI and Radio France in Iraq: I only
know them by e-mail, because they belong to Spartacus, a group of world
correspondents for francophone radio stations that I co-founded in
2000. C
hristian gave an interview to Larry King on CNN in March 2003.
Everybody in the network is just praying for their safe release. Here
is Spartacus' press release, sent out while I was away...

01/26/2004 10:15 AMThe Folklore project is legendary designer Andy Hertzfeld's
collaborative undertaking to collect anaecdotes from the birth of the
Macintosh from the people who were there when it went down. Multiple
perspectives illuminate the subjetivity of memory and the way that
things are different from different points of view. (The back-end is a
new software project meant to allow for folkloric collection and
organization regarding any subject).
The first time we went to lunch, I found out that Burrell's creativity
extended beyond his engineering work. He would often try to convince
our waitress to concoct variations of the standard fare on the menu,
thinking of something different every time.
For example, after he successfully persuaded a waitress to divide his
pizza toppings into thirds, he asked her to do fifths the next time.
Or he would sometimes try to order mixed sodas as if they were
cocktails, in ever varying proportions, like three quarters Coke, and
one quarter Sprite. Often, the waitress would balk but Burrell was
sometimes charming enough to eventually convince her to comply. He
would also obsess on certain foods, becoming fixated on Bulgarian Beef
sandwiches from Vivi's for a while, and then a Pineapple Pizza phase
(see Pineapple Pizza) , evolving to his most enduring favorite, sushi,
which provided a new range of interesting choices and combinations.
