Blogger Reboots: Google's Evan Williams.

The Weblog world is, in the words of Buddy Miles, going through them changes. With Dave Winer open sourcing Frontier and Movable Type struggling with its licensing, Google’s Blogger unit arrives with a spanking new upgrade, the first since Google acquired the company in February, 2003. In a wide-ranging conversa tion with eWEEK’s Steve Gillmor, Blogger co-founder and Google program manager Evan Williams runs through the changes in the software, the company, and the RSS /ATOM ecology.

[Steve Gillmor's Blogosphere]

Out of all of this excellent interview, this is my favorite bit......

Do you have any kind of relationship, or do you plan one, with micro-content reader and router toolmakers?

We are very interested in it. We're talking to folks, mostly on a casual basis now. We don't have any big plans along those lines, but it will certainly be an increasingly crucial piece of the publishing tools in this ecosystem that we're in.

Thank God for Steve Gillmor

Thank God for Steve Gillmor 02/01/2005 08:42 PM

Steve is the only guy who reminds me of what it was like before....

Everyone else - from Dave Winer, Steve Levy, Dan Farber, Mitch Kapor, Heidi Roizen the whole gang - all all grown and matured. But Steve still reminds me of what it was like BEFORE Windows - back when Apple still had a chance.

Before the ultimate mistake - that cost them the market and their company. It's nice that Apple has great products now - but I'm a software guy and I have to figure out what to do. This 'comeback' that Jobs is formulating must prove ONE thing.

Will they license their software or not?

I believe the Motorola deal is what we're waiting for - right?

The HP deal is nothing more than turning HP into their sales force. But it's the iPhone that will show what the future of Apple is.

When you read this rant from Steve Gillmor - remember one thing. Apple DOES have the best products and software. And they stole allot from Xerox PARC so we can steal from them. Remember that.

Everything they do is OUR roadmap. OUR R&D.

So without any further ado...... Steve Gillmor....

With all due respect to Marc Canter, thank god for Apple. As Microsoft’s DRMForSure juggernaut rolled out of Vegas with a full head of cartel-fired steam, even phone guru Russell Beattie was ready to bow before Bill Gates and that personal video device vibrating in his pocket. Though Bill’s message was marginally diluted by some demo misfires in his CESdex keynote, the gathering force of Media Center extenders, Scoble’s Smartphone, and the tantalizing prospect of being able to watch the West Wing in letterbox format on a one-inch screen at 50,000 feet all conspired to create a surprisingly vivid re-innovation of Steve Jobs’ patented reality distortion field.

With all due respect to Robert Scoble, thank god for Apple. When Steve strolled out to center stage with the Mini, he got more applause for the box than anything Bill showed Conan O’Brien. Actually, there was a collective gasp over the size of the box, as it drove home the nuanced multi-threaded message of the Apple play: less is more. The ThinkSecret leaks didn’t take the power out of the punchline–they amplified it.

With all due respect to Dan Gillmor, thank god for Apple. They don’t call them trade secrets for nothing. Personally, I think they sued for the same reasons Gates called us communists: to protect their business model. Thank god for the EFF, too. Personally, I think the gasp in the Moscone Center should be used as Defense Exhibit A for the fact that no secrets were exposed.

The biggest secret of all was the word not spoken in either Vegas or San Francisco: podcasting. Nowhere to be seen was the ru mored Firewire audio breakout box, the reported subject of several subpoenas issued in December. But add up the rest of the announcements, most shipping by the end of the month, and you may notice that Apple has restructured itself around the iPod platform.

1. The iPod Shuffle
Though most of us boomers can’t fathom the idea that "life is random" is a feature, the Shuffle’s secret sauce is its Playlist mode, turned off by default. Attention: iPodder developers–if you develop SmartPlaylist functionality in your aggregators, you can use attention and other explicit metadata to program iTunes to download, sort, and sequence podcasts while you sleep. Remember, the iPod is the delivery system, the data cache at the end of the pipeline. Of course, if some smart 3rd-party vendor adds a microphone that clips onto the Shuffle, it’s a data recorder hanging around your neck.

2. The Mini
For podcasters, this is a $500 studio-in-a-box. GarageBand now supports multitrack recording (eight channels each with their own eq and effects) and the ability to create your own loops. Combine GarageBand with Smart Playlists and slice and dice your podcasts up into "songs" that you can sequence and, more importantly, pull "quotes" for inclusion in other podcasts. Once again, remember that the iPod is the endpoint of the production environment. The Mini is the studio, the mastering lab, where you cut the virtual grooves between the tracks of these next-generation podcasts.

3. Tiger
The next version of OS/X will load just fine on the Mini, too. It comes with Automator, which, if hooked up to GarageBand, would provide an automated way to refactor existing long-form podcasts into this new track model. Automator could also build consoles to automate real-time, radio-style production with multiple audio inputs, taking advantage of Tiger’s enhanced ability to handle multiple virtual audio devices.

4. iWork and iLife
Keynote, Pages, and iMovie are morphing into a podcast-to-video porting environment. Use Automator consoles to load in podcast segments and annotate them with links, iPhoto transitions, and attention-influenced intelligent caching of related pod- and Mini-casts, and you’re well on your way to a read/write version of the RSS-powered multimedia Web. While DRMForSure coddles the cartel, the iPod Platform plays to the customers in the seats.

With all due respect to Bill Gates, thank god for Apple. If Apple didn’t exist, Bill, you’d have to invent them. Perhaps you did. It’s the real Bill and Steve Show. Two peas in a Pod, that’s for sure.

Is there life after Steve?

Is there life after Steve? 08/13/2004 11:20 PM
While sifting through the usual day-old headlines Sunday night, looking for a last-minute bit of news to post before I retired for the evening, I came across a headline that made me do a double-take, and filled me with enough shock and caution to divert my eyes from this week’s episode of "Entourage" on HBO: "Apple CEO Jobs undergoes surgery for cancer" Despite the comedy playing itself out on my television screen, I was momentarily filled with an eerie sense of fear upon clicking the link, and in the five seconds it took to reach the article on the other end, I was forced to imagine the worst — as Steve Jobs lied in a hospital bed somewhere on the west coast of the United States, the face of modern computing hung in the balance. Thankfully, the balance has been restored. And while some of you will undoubtedly call me melodramatic (at the very least), when it comes down to it, no one man in the tech industry has as much charisma, insight and talent as Steve Jobs. We can all remember that first time we watched Steve take the stage at a Macworld event — for you lucky ones, on the stage in front of you; for the rest of us via a Quicktime stream or satellite feed. Mixing humor with anticipation, and making even boring sales statistics exciting, Steve"s keynote speeches are nothing short of entertaining. Even those which are light on announcements still keep us on the edge of our seat. It"s better than a movie, and if the Apple Store wanted to charge $3 for admission, we"d pay (mostly without a fight). Of course, when most people think PC, they think Bill Gates, who is as synonymous to modern computing as Edison is to the light bulb — but few tech CEOs play as prominent a role in the day-to-day operations as Steve. And while we know there must be a team of experts designing prototypes and brainstorming ideas, we also know that he has as much a part in the development of Apple’s architecture as anyone on the staff. And right now, Apple’s architecture rules, and Steve"s presence — both behind and in the scenes — would certainly be missed. And not just by Apple. What would happen to the state of the computing if Steve wasn"t around to keep everyone on their toes. Think about it — without the iMac, modern desktop machines would be stuck somewhere in 1998, still clinging to a floppy drive as a viable form of transferring information. And forget mp3 players… can you say Rio? OK, OK — but for every release Steve has been a part of, the tech industry has rocketed ahead. In Steve"s absence, the Newton was the only notable release, and that certainly didn’t prompt copycats. Sure, it was ahead of its time — so far ahead that even Apple"s couldn’t catch up. The technology was mostly bug-ridden, and again, Steve knew best, killing the project when he retook the reigns. Then came the iMac, PowerBook, iBook, PowerMac, Cinema Displays, iPod… And the list goes on (and hopefully will continue to). Legends come and go, and greatness fades, but Steve is as relevant at 49 as he was at 22. Get well soon Steve. The circuit boards — G5s and otherwise — are not aligned without you.

Steve Johnson on 9/11 07/05/2004 05:56 PM
Steve Johnson has a terrific review of F9/11. It's about 3 stars short of a rave. Steve reduces the movie to a silly conspiracy theory and an unreeling of images that we need to see if we are to be morally accountable. I agree that the movie is both those things, but I think it's also more than that. Moore blurts out conspiracy theories with alarming frequency, and I agree with Steve that they generally don't stick. (I do want to read the book about the Bushes' relationships with the Saudis, though.) But I didn't read the intellectual content of...

Though he does recognize Apple's innovation and focus, he fails to see how a strategy of providing users with the best computing experience possible can increase Macintosh market share.

Response to Steve Mallet

Response to Steve Mallet 09/23/2004 07:37 PM

I wrote a post about Ted Leung and his microcontent personality disorder needs.

Steve Mallet left this comment about the post:

His life would a lot easier if he published everything from his weblog. (http://datalibre.com) , owned all that data himselft and let others aggregate it. Imagine how complicated life will be for him when he wants to move his images, bookmarks, etc to a different service or service(s). [Fooworks]

...and here's my response to Steve's comment:

Dude - as if! Let me give you the Trotts' and Evan Williams' phone numbers and why don't you ask them why they don't store all forms of micro-content and aggregate entire lifestyles in their products today?

The fact is Ted (and everyone else) lives in a world of multiple accounts, multiple generations of stuff, multiple locations, services and accounts we own and use. That's just life. Your digital life.

So YES we want the blogging tools to store and manage all this stuff - but by the time they do that - they'll be called digitial lifestyle aggregators.

:-)

Some will start from TypePad and blogging.

Others will come at it from Flickr and photo sharing.

Still others will start like 1UP.com and a game portal.

Or Glowria.fr and a DVD rental biz.

But five years form now - they'll be the ones making all the cash with white label deals - not stand alone blogging tools.
