I am a supporter of the notion of several and well differentiated ways
of using weblogs/CMS technologies and I wish to shed some further
light on the possibly many other valuable applications that exist (for
the technologies powering them)other than the one of running a
personal diary online.

Blog and Forum automatic submission
scripts
12/19/2004 03:34 PMA note to the spammers and potential spammers that
come across this: if comment spam is so effective in boosting search
engine rankings, then why is this blog entry so much better ranked
than the submission scripts are? You’d think that if they were
even a little bit effective the makers of the tools would be able to
get a better ranking than I have.
Spammers are buying ever-more sophisticated tools to facilitate
their comment spamming. These tools can find comment scripts, bypass
many protection measures, and submit comments with alarming speed.
Perhaps we could make a dent in the comment spam by attacking these
tools. Find shareware and “webmaster script” sites where
these tools are sold, distributed, and marketed and get them shut
down. A search for “blog submission scripts” will turn up
lots of links to products (and now, I’m sure, this blog entry)
that are designed to spam comments. Track these down, contact the
places they’re marketed, like share*it and for the software to be
removed from their catalogs.
After finding a spam package that’s being sold on share*it, I
contacted them about removing it. I’ve removed the names and
links to the product, because I don’t want to make it any easier
for spammers to find products like this.
One of the pieces of software sold on your site is
designed to spam weblog comments and message boards. Product ID
[removed] is described and marketed as a blog spamming tool at
[removed]
Please don’t continue to add to the spam problem, and remove
this product from your service.
If bloggers are powerful enough to take down a TV news anchor,
I’d imagine that a concerted effort to choke off distribution
sources would be successful as well.

ON VIDEOCONFERENCING
04/16/2004 01:10 PM
One of the kind people who have
been helping me test desktop video software this week is Robin Good,
a veritable alchemist of videoconferencing. I was blown away both by
Robin's deep knowledge of the video tools currently in the market, and
his 'homegrown' applications that integrate and build on the best
features of several of the commercial conferencing apps out there. If
you're looking for high quality, reliable many-to-many
videoconferencing capability at an affordable price, just go directly
to Robin and he'll get you set up right. This guy is really sharp
(though he neither looks nor sounds like what I expected)!
Robin has two events coming up that you should check out if you're in
the market. Here is more information on them, in Robin's own
words:
Kolabora Live! Buyer's Review:
April 22nd: InstantPresenter vs. C3 Collaborator
An ongoing series of live events in which I will personally review
multiple real-time collaboration technologies and in which end users
will be able to ask and to compare differences and advantages for each
tool presented. In each 60-minute Buyer Review I will first introduce
the competing technologies I have personally selected and I will offer
a “buyer conscious”, concise and benefit-driven analysis of
their
features, functionalities, key strengths and weaknesses. The remaining
time in the event is used for allowing potential buyers and customers
attending the event to ask live questions about the tools presented.
The questions can be addressed either to me or to one of the elected
representative of the technologies showcased.
At the end of the Buyers Questions I poll the audience on key feature,
traits, marketing and sales issues relating to these products allowing
me to gather specific buyers desires, preferences and needs relative
to
the tools showcased. On the basis of the polled data The Kolabora
Buyers’ Pick Award is then assigned to the showcased technology
that
has been able to stand the toughest test of all: the buyer's mind.
Buyer's Pick technology is then showcased on Kolabora until the next
Buyer's Review goes live. There is no cost for companies to
participate. More info or Sign-up: http://tinyurl.com/3emek
Kolabora Live! Monthly
Seminar
A new unique 75-minute monthly event where I report live (audio/video
+ slides) on:
- New tools that have appeared on the market
- Most
interesting tools – attention movers
- Best
practices
- Complementary tools and technologies
- Online
resources and recommendations
- Interface design,
UI
- Functionalities, - features that can give you an edge
because they have not been exploited yet
- Tools and their
usability – how to improve usability of your
tools
- Deployment and technical issues
- Performance – what do people expect
- Perceived ease of use – how to measure –
who is doing best and why
- Marketing strategies – offers,
demos, trials, pricing approaches – what is best
Participants can submit specific questions via a text interface and in
the final 40 minutes I devote my time exclusively to provide public
answers to these. Access to this event is limited to 200 people and is
sponsor-supported. Initially the event is accessible for free. Only a
registration is needed. Recording of the event is offered as a
commercial download. Sign-Up: http://tinyurl.com/358l4

Robin, Skype guru Stu
Henshall,
and several others have graciously given me the opportunity to test a
variety of desktop video tools, and given me the names and specs of
many other tools I have not yet had time to test. Although I will
issue
a full report when I've finished testing, so far I am quite impressed
with SightSpeed's video quality, and I have yet to find anything that
matches Skype's audio quality.

Why Requiring Registration Does More
Harm Than Good For News Sites
02/12/2004 05:00 PMWe've been discussing news site registration lately, and Digital
Deliverance has a piece where they explain
why
it's likely to backfire for almost all sites who try it. As we
were just saying last week, sites that require registration and/or
demographic info tend to get
many
fewer visitors and a ton of bogus data. As the Digital
Deliverance piece points out, most sites aren't even doing anything
with that
dirty
data - so it's completely useless. They're getting fewer visitors
and bad data they don't even use for any reasonable purpose.
This certainly doesn't help them get more advertising, but the fewer
readers does mean they'll get less advertising. Doesn't seem like
such a smart strategy - and yet more sites seem to be doing it every
day.

Kevin Sites bl0g from Iraq: Road to
Nowhere
05/03/2004 12:13 PMBlogging live from Iraq, MSNBC combat correspondent
Kevin Sites posts a new entry
today. Last week, he and the the military unit with which he was
traveling near Ramadi were hit by an IED, also known as a "roadside
bomb."
We will take four humvees on this trip, including a gun truck or
technical with a mounted 240 SAW, squad assault weapon and about 20
marines carrying M-16 and M4 assault rifles. As the captain speaks,
the marines pass out smoke grenades that could be used to obscure a
disabled vehicle from enemy fire. They also pass out fragmentation
grenades, olive green orbs with strips of red duct tape wrapped around
the handles to keep them from exploding in case the pin is pulled
inadvertently.
The captain (who doesn't wanted to be identified by name) reads off
a checklist that covers everything from the military grid coordinates
for our travel to recent intel on enemy forces in the area, radio
frequencies and procedures if we come under attack. "I'm not reading
this for my own amusement," he says gruffly, "if something happens to
me or Gunny you want to know how to get back so you better be fucking
writing it down."

09/23/2004 11:14 AM
Xeni Jardin:
NBC combat correspondent and blogger Kevin Sites is back in Iraq, and
posts a new dispatch with some amazing photos on his blog today.
We've been up since 3am--waiting for Hilla SWAT. It's now 4:30.
Despite their annoyance--the Force Recon squad from the 24th Marine
Expeditionary Unit seems extremely patient--at least around Kuni
Takahashi, a photographer for the Chicago Tribune and me. Instead they
look at their watches--bullshit each other about their individual
depravities--like masturbating in sweat socks. Typical life details at
a military FOB or forward operating base in Iraq.
These marines at FOB Kalsu still sleep in tents, shit in porta-johns,
live in the dirt. This is no Camp Victory green zone paradise with
guys chilling in air-conditioned trailers and eating at the Bob Hope
Dining Facility--a zeppelin hangar of a building just down the road
from Baghdad International Airport. Everyone here has heard the
stories--or maybe, been on a convoy through the green zone, briefly
glimpsed the way that other half lives. They piss and moan about
it--but don't denounce its existence. They are, after all,
Americans--it's about aspirations--still believing that hard work and
perseverance may someday get you to the Promised Land.

Kevin Sites Iraq bl0g: "Paying Back in
Blood"
05/10/2004 03:02 PMBlogger and MSNBC combat correspondent Kevin Sites is in Iraq, and has
posted a new entry to his blog today.
When he was nine years old Carlos Gomez crossed the Rio Grande from
Mexico to the U.S. with his father, mother and two sisters. They had
heard stories about the opportunities in America, dreamed about them,
wanted them so badly they ran through oncoming traffic on the 805
freeway to get to them. They didn't stop until they reached San Diego.
Fear, fatigue and La Migra slowly fading into the southern horizon
like their homeland.
They stayed. Dealt with the slurs--beaners, greasers, wetbacks.
Overcame them. Paid back America's opportunities with hard, menial
labor. Made a fraction of what citizens and legal immigrants made--but
never complained.
And 12 years later, in Falluja, Iraq, Marine Lance Corporal Gomez
would pay it back again--but this time with his blood.

Latest Kevin Sites bl0g-post from Iraq:

11/05/2003 12:08 PMNew photos and first-person accounts from northern Iraq, from MSNBC
combat corrrespondent Kevin Sites:
"Well sir, it's been a rough deployment. This -- then the stuff at
home -- my wife's probably cheated on me 15 times," he shakes his head
and takes a long
drag from the stub of his cigarette. Many of the men we see tonight
are doing a version of the same thing, smoking -- shaking their heads.
"I looked around town today," one lieutenant told me, "I was hoping to
find someone doing something bad, somebody I could hurt -- but there
wasn't one. Just people that needed my help."
It's just that kind of mission whiplash that has confused and
demoralized so many troops in Iraq. Soldiers are ordered to go on a
night patrols or raids--where danger can lurk at every corner or
behind every door -- and life and death decisions have to be made
within the hair-fraction of time it takes to pull the trigger on M4
assault weapon -- then the next day, they're told to monitor the
selection of a new local mayor or to rebuild a school.

DIRECTORY UPDATE - APR.10/04
04/10/2004 05:46 PM
 I have just updated
the full Dire
ctory
of Active Salon Blogs. You can download it in Excel format by
clicking on the link at the top of the right sidebar just below my
e-mail link. It contains current information on the owner and subject
of each blog, plus current sortable data on hits/month and
inbound blog counts. Please send
me details of any missing and new Salon Blogs, and any errors in the
Directory. I promise to post any updates I receive to the Directory
spreadsheet regularly. Here are the summary statistics for the last
month:
- Total hits per month were about 1.05 million, up 10%
from February (due almost entirely to a rebound in Filchyboy's hit
count). Of that total, 760 thousand hits (72%) went to the top 11 (7%)
of active blogs. Median hit count remains about 700 per month.
- Inbound blogs totaled about 4150, up 10% from
February,
with the top 11 active blogs accounting for almost exactly half of
them. Median number of inbound blogs remains at 7.
- The approximate proportion of female Salon bloggers
was
42%, the same percentage as in January and February.
- No
longer blogging, it appears, are the passionate Toby's Political Diary
(#1282), Asia Business Intelligence (#1319), Everything That Sucks
(Come Back, Amanda! #1691), Patriotically Incorrect (#2379),.Lean for
Dean (#2429), Doublethink (#2521), Life in LA (We miss you, Claire!
#2608), and 16 relatively new bloggers. David Harris is on hiatus.
- Mambrino's Helmet is back as The Forge.
- Of
the roughly 240 new Salon Blog numbers assigned this past
two months (#3412-3642 and #3743-3757), about 90 made at least one
post, and
the following 36 appear to be posting regularly. That leaves the
number
of active
Salon Blogs at 174, up 14 from February. Welcome to all
new Sloggers.
If I've missed your Salon Blog, or if you know of any active (posted
within the last month) active Salon Blogs not in the directory, please
let me know.
There's just one day left to find the missing Easter eggs (see post
below), and a few of them are hidden in the above newbie blogs.

- Total
hits for the month were about 950 thousand, down 12%
from last month (the decrease was due entirely to a drop in hits for
two blogs). Of that total, 700 thousand hits (72%) went to the top 11

about 20 hits per day.
- Inbound blogs totaled about 3700, up 16% from last
month,
with the top 11 active blogs accounting for almost exactly half of
them. Median number of inbound blogs remains at 7.
- The approximate proportion of female Salon bloggers
was 42%, the same percentage as a month ago.
- No longer blogging, it appears, are Subdude Citizen, who I'll

Taiwan Weblog, the Return of the King
Countdown blog, Paul
& Chris' Paris Travel Commentary, the very stimulating Mambrino's Helmet, and four
relative newcomers, Quakergreen, Struggle for Progress, Graphite Furnace and Gabriela's Radio Weblog.
- Storyteller Hugh Elliott's Standing Room Only is back,
as is Short 'n

- Of the roughly 85 new Salon Blog numbers assigned
this past
month (#3326-3411), about 30 made at least one post, and the following
