Softbots Stride Forward By Siobhan McBride of ComputerWorld

"Can't make next week's videoconference with head office? No problem, your computer-generated avatar will stand in for you; having been created in your image it's a shrewd strategist in complete command of the points you wish to make - including your fallback position. While it sounds like it may be a long time coming, research into intelligent agents, software programs also known as 'softbots', is progressing so quickly scientists predict this scenario could be a reality within 10 years. ... Two researchers headed down this path are Professor Ryszard Kowalczyk, of Swinburne University's faculty of Information and Communication Technology, and Professor Jun Han, also of Swinburne University, who heads a contribution to an Australian-European Union consortium developing service-orientated computing systems of the future. ... The project plan is to develop agents to automate the interchange and composition of software and services via the Internet, including software components to coordinate business activities such as supply, distribution and sales."

Kerry finds his stride on the trail

USATODAY.com - January has been a very good month for John Kerry. He started the year as the front-runner who flopped, the four-term senator whose presidential prospects were discounted in favor of an outspoken former governor of Vermont and a retired general who had never run for anything before.

Bruce Sterling hits his stride on his
bl0g 12/02/2003 01:40 AM
Bruce Sterling's been running his new Wired blog for a couple months now, and this morning, though, he hit his stride with a classic cyberpunk-dense review-cum-rant of a Brazillian electro-pop CD. This is killer prose.

I am digging this thing. Even a white-guy-samba chestnut like "So Nice (Summer Samba)" springs into a weird post-60s afterlife once it's been globally cyberized with a samplerdelic melange of hisses, whoops, whooshes, bleeps, thuds and twitters. The spacey remixes of "Tanto Tempo" sounds like they're scratching at the edge of the universe with thick rubber spatulas.

I pay attention to electronica for obvious reasons, and I can always get along with easy-going, caiparinha-blurred Brazilian beach music... I mean, who couldn't like such stuff, it's so harmlessly sexual and ingratiating... but techno gives bossa nova some serious nova-osity. The fact that these are actual songs, with verse-verse chorus and that ruthlessly slinky beat, gives all that synth dithering some useful spine. Hey, it's "Brazilectronica!" This stuff could conquer the world!

Niche out!

Niche out! 03/22/2005 03:24 PM
Doc's right.  People that buy or sell on the long tail shouldn't be considered consumers.  To prove a point, the long tail members I describe aren't passive, rather, they are in the driver's seat of the new distribution.  States and their passive consumers (of political goods) are the ones at risk.

Voice Over Wi-Fi a Niche App

Voice Over Wi-Fi a Niche App 11/11/2003 03:11 PM
A There is a lot of talk and some confusion around the value of voice over Wi-Fi: It will take some time for the market to figure out how extensively it should be used. I think voice over Wi-Fi can be really useful to certain workers, but the current products have so many shortcomings that a company must have enough of those workers and be able to benefit enough to suffer through the headaches. Voice over Wi-Fi will become a routine service only if the products improve significantly....

Popular Science magazine gives us the following five things You Didn’t Know You Could Do with RSS:

1. “Package Deliveries
2. Library Books
   “ Avoid late fees and fruitless trips to the library with ELF (libraryelf.com), which generates a feed to inform you when books you've requested are available at your local branch (including a link to operating hours) and when your checked-out books are almost due.”
3. Local Weather
4. TV Listings
5. Yourself” [via del.icio.us/merlinmann/ 43folders]

I love the ELF and even subscribe to the service myself, but how does it make your privacy-loving, patron-protecting, librarian self feel that a company in Canada is providing this service that gets highlighted in PopSci instead of you?

(Shipping is free at both places.) Trackpoint.com also sell screws for the IBM Ultrabay at a buck each, so apparently they're branching out. Radical....

Niche Publishing - Engadget

Niche Publishing - Engadget 03/06/2004 01:59 AM

Niche publishing really isn't just for Nick Denton anymore... Peter Rojas, the original blogger behind Gizmodo has broken out of that gig to start Engadget... a competitor to Gizmodo.

Denton still has a leg up (first mover advantage we used to call it) on individuals launching one or two focused sites on their own, as he can aggregate his entire Gawker media property audiences if he wants to for an advertiser, or he can sell the advertising piecemeal... but, folks like Rojas can probably make enough money off their sites short-term to support themselves, and long term to build a living that they enjoy.

Best of luck Peter...

Making Microsoft a niche player 08/30/2004 06:46 AM
Novell engineer and manager Allison Singh recently predicted in an Africa-based tectonic magazine article that Windows will become a niche operating system, replaced by Linux as the new standard. A gestalt of recent trends, events, and stories should tell you that this prediction is right on the money. A gestalt, by the way, is a perception or conclusion that goes beyond the sum of its parts. Here are three of the many parts that comprise the gestalt.

Rescuing XSLT from Niche Status

Rescuing XSLT from Niche Status 10/30/2002 12:50 AM
XSLT is one of the most exciting technologies to come out of the XML family. Unfortunately, its incredible power and associated complexity can be overwhelming to new users preventing many from experimenting with it or causing them to quickly give up in disgust. In fact, unless the method of teaching and the common style of use for XSLT is radically changed to make it more accessible, XSLT will be relegated to niche status like SGML and other powerful technologies. -- David Jacobs
