One problem with this blog post.  It treats the term blogware - to mean lots of blogging tools, the catgeory of blogging tools.

Well dude - get a clue. The term Blogware also refers to the product from Tucows.

On Choosing Blogware.

Owen Winkler created a Blog Software Breakdown chart recently of the various options and features associated with fourteen different ‘install on your own server’ weblogging environments. In Owen’s own words here are some criteria for software he did not include as potential contenders for this comprehensive chart:

I did not include tools like Blogger or Six Apart thinks is best for me. I did not include packages with desktop applications for the same reasons.

I also did not include generic CMS software; only blog-making software. This excludes software like Drupal and phpNuke. I’m sure you can make a great blog with this software, but there are two things that I found in common the these packages: Either they were too configurable (Drupal, Typo3), or they looked like one of those h4x0r community sites. C’mon, you know what I’m talking about - phpNuke on phpBB. They’re fine for keeping a weblog, more community and file-service oriented.

Owen goes on to outline three deciding factors that most influenced his final choice—Pretty GUI, Free, and Support—in great detail in his Blogware Choice post.

And the winner is—WordPress!

But, please read Owen’s comprehensive chart and blogware choice criteria for the full story. Thanks to Lee LeFever for the tip… (-:=

Well - if Chris Pirillo likes Blogware - then I guess it's a hit!

Congrats to Ross and team!

Bl ogWare 0wns!.

I've been through just about every major blog option out there - MT, Blogger, GreyMatter, Radio UserLand, LiveJournal, etc. I must say, even though the template structure within Lockergnome.net is complex, this system is quite simple (at the same time). For novices, there's virtually no learning curve. Though it's difficult for me to pinpoint my favorite option, the "Edit This Entry" link is surprisingly handy! The photoblog integration with e-mail posting capabilities works well, too. Code purists won't appreciate the legacy tags, but (perhaps) one day, I'll spend more time tweaking more than just the outward appearance of this thing. Color me sold.

The Blogware business model

The Blogware business model 07/07/2004 02:41 AM

I've been trying to get to know Roland Tanglao and Boris Mann and their company Streamline. Here's an interesting post I found on Roland's blog about Blogware's business model..

Here's Roland......

A must read for prospective Blogware resellers and for bloggers and people who don't understand why Blogware is not being heavily promoted by Tucows. Summary: it's all about the resellers. Resellers made Tucows #2 in domain registration and similarly resellers will make Blogware a big player in the hosted blog space.



From An Open Letter to Blog Sceptic:

QUOTE

5/3/2/1. Ditch the resellers/launch a hosted version/offer to specific verticals/promote it...

Never gonna happen.

Here's why: Internet services providers represent the most powerful distribution channel on the internet. No single company can compete with the marketing muscle of 30,000 ISPs** who sit right in front of end-users and assist them in making critical technology choices and guide them as they dive into the internet - usually for the first time. No other channel can put you in front of individuals and the Fortune 500 simultaneously and no channel can better address the fickle needs of their local markets in a more appropriate fashion.

To get a better sense of this, take a look at our track record with domain names. In 1997, we were (according to the most liberal definitions) #85 in the domain name registration market. Today we are solidly #2 and we've been there for a couple of years. How did we get here? We dealt exclusively with internet services providers to the exclusion of all other market opportunities and we nailed their service requirements. By choosing and sticking to our distribution model very early in the game (some would argue that it chose us) we were able to focus on very specific attributes of our products and processes and build some truly excellent structures around everything. In other words, because we weren't trying to be all things to all customers, we were able to do some very amazing things with some very specific customer segments. And they responded in spades.

Our resellers kick serious a*s in the market place. This because the Tucows way of doing things gives them  the luxury of being able to focus on very specific and important things. Think of every other blogging company out there. They each have to a) be technical experts, b) be sales experts and c) be marketing experts just to one unit to a customer. Now take a look at the symbiotic nature of the relationship between Tucows and its direct customers. Our resellers have to be sales & marketing experts and develop strong customer service skills and Tucows has to focus on maintaining world-class technical services. Who would you bet on, the jack-of-all-trades or the team of specialists?

The downside to this approach is that it lacks the glitz and glam that retail oriented services employ. You will never see a full out PR blitz from Tucows and Blogware will never be a household name.  All wasted money. Remember, we're not the marketing brains in this relationship. We're the technical muscle.

Does that mean that our resellers are idly sitting by doing nothing? Nope. Right now, they are working on developing the right messages to direct at very specific markets - some are doing the institutional angle, some are going after telecommunications firms, others are targetting specific home-user verticals and others still looking to make quick wins at the expense of those with existing market share... And what I've seen so far looks great. Think of this as true "end-to-end marketing" Marketing at the edges. Clue-train compatible distribution. Teamwork. Focus. Whatever you call it, it works.

Who'dve thunk it? Yeah, the OS X 10.4.1 upgrade broke emacs. Or, rather, to put the blame in the right place, the 'clever' tricks that emacs plays to get itself going break with depressing regularity when anything inside the OS shifts around. (Part of the build process actually core-dumps a running emacs and then fixes up the core file to be an executable, which is clever but somewhat fragile on some OSes, including OS X) It's a pity I can't stand the vi-alikes. This has gotten kinda old....

AT&T Says AT&T Wireless Broke Their
Brand

AT&T Says AT&T Wireless Broke Their
Brand 08/06/2004 06:45 PM
It never really made sense when AT&T spun out AT&T Wireless that they let the mobile company keep the name. It was clearly very confusing to customers who still think they're the same company and it was a clear risk to AT&T's brand -- as well as their ability to offer their own wireless service at another point in the future. While it was clear that AT&T was just trying to cash in on the hype around wireless, the fact that they didn't realize that wireless had to be a part of their future was a bit scary. Of course, among the many things that did happen was that AT&T Wireless faltered and did, indeed, harm the overall AT&T brand name. So, while they're in the process of (maybe) selling out to Cingular, and AT&T wants the name back, many are questioning whether that's a good idea. AT&T Wireless has such a weak reputation right now that starting a new mobile phone service under that brand may be an uphill battle. AT&T is now suggesting that AT&T Wireless broke their agreement by screwing up the brand and being so poor at customer service. Right now, honestly, this looks more like a negotiating ploy concerning the return of the name, because if the Cingular deal does go through, then it shouldn't much matter any more if the old AT&T Wireless can't use the name any more.

The Video Game That Broke Apart China

The Video Game That Broke Apart China 05/28/2004 03:20 PM
Who said video games can't change the world? That seems to be the fear of the Chinese government, who has banned the video game "Hearts of Iron" for (they claim) "distorting history and damaging China's sovereignty and territorial integrity." To be honest, I don't know enough about the video game in question or the specific complaints concerning Chinese history to understand what their specific problems are (and the article is somewhat vague), but, honestly, who could possibly feel threatened that the events in a historical video game could damage a nation's sovereignty? If one little video game can damage both the sovereignty and territorial integrity of a nation, you have to wonder how strong those things are in the first place.

Regal Beagle Fell and Broke His Crown?

Regal Beagle Fell and Broke His Crown? 12/25/2003 10:19 AM
It looks like it's two down and two to go. ESA's rover called Beagle 2 was scheduled to land Christmas morning, but so far the Beagle hasn't phoned home. There could be a multitude of reasons why communications have not been established. It could be just that the Beagle 2 has to recharge its batteries on the first day or it won't last the night. At least we know that the Ma rs Express Orbitor seems to be OK. ESA scientists haven't given't up hope yet on Beagle 2, but it already seems like Mars has claimed another victim (we lost Japan's rover earlier this month). With all of these failed Mars craft, should we really send humans to Mars?

Cory's PopSci column: How Hollywood
broke DVD

Cory's PopSci column: How Hollywood
broke DVD 12/29/2004 04:49 AM
Cory Doctorow: I've begun writing a regular column for Popular Science magazine, about technology and policy. The first one's just hit the stands, called "Go Ask Hollywood: Why can't you back up your DVDs? Because entertainment execs don't want you to."

They set up a cartel in 1995, now called the DVD Copy Control Association (DVD-CCA), to dole out these licenses. Anyone making players without one is breaking the law. A Fox Studios executive told me, "It's a polite marketplace." Sure, if polite means stagnant.

Think of all the things you can do with a track from a CD now that you couldn't do 10 years ago: rip it to your laptop, turn it into a ring tone, send it to your friends, burn a mix. Many of these capabilities are illegal, and the recording industry has tried to stop them all, but they're out there, challenging the old rules and feeling their place in the market. Innovators have tried to enable the same flexibility for the DVD. Last year 321 Studios released software that let you back up prerecorded DVDs, but the MPAA sued it into bankruptcy before a court could rule on whether or not the product was legal.

Just last month, this magazine gave a Best of What's New award to a $27,000 movie jukebox from Kaleidescape, praising the maker's efforts to appease Hollywood by locking down content on the device so it can't be shared. Kaleidescape thinks the product is within the boundaries of its DVD-CCA license, but my Deep Throat on the cartel says the group disagrees and is currently deciding how the company will be punished. Penalties range from a stern warning to fines to lawsuits. (When I called the DVD-CCA for an official line, I got this reply: "I've been asked to tell you we have no comment." "Who asked you to tell me that?" "I can't tell you.")

You know I am a very vocal proponent of Fair Use, but because organizations like the MPAA and RIAA have their lawyers hiding in alleyways waiting to slap and injunction on every citizen of this country that does not use the media we buy from stores exactly how they tell us to. I am at the point were I just will not support those industries that stifle fair use.

But it is nice to hear that even the corporate executives are banging their heads against the wall when it comes to trying to stay in compliance with that ugly four letter abbreviation known as the DMCA.
