The great experiment

07/26/2004 08:54 AMI'd like to welcome both the new Technorati website design and Politics Coverage into the
world. We're still working out some kinks and bugs, so don't be
surprised if there's an occastional problem - please let us know and we'll fix
things ASAP!
Here's the press release announcing the launch. I'd just like to
reach out and give HUGE thanks to the Technorati team. I'm so lucky
to be working with you. You guys rock.
More to post later when I get to the Fleet Center for the DNC
coverage today. As soon as the CNN coverage launches, I'll post as
well. I sure hope the Wifi confinues to work after they turn on those
ISM wireless video cameras (they both run at 2.4GHz)!
Another Thought Experiment
Another Thought Experiment
01/16/2004 01:04 PMMark Pilgram
expresses his concerns about how some aggregators plan
to handle invalid Atom feeds. Mark believes that rejecting
invalid XML on the client side is a bad idea, and proposes a thought
experiment in which all web browsers use strict XML parsers and refuse
to display XHTML that isn't well-formed.
This is a bit of a bait-and-switch, though. XHTML has the whole
sordid history of HTML on its back, and since browsers have generally
been forgiving of even the most convoluted HTML there's a substantial
backwards-compatibility issue. The XML-based Atom, however, is brand-spanking new, so it doesn't
have the same baggage as XHTML.
So, let's try another thought experiment. I've copied Mark's Atom
newsfeed and made it invalid XML by adding a single &
character, then uploaded it to my site:
http://www.bradsoft.c
om/feeds/badatom.xml
Mark asks us to "imagine that all web browsers use strict XML
parsers," but rather than use our imaginations, lets see what happens
when we browse this feed in Internet Explorer:

Hmmm...IE appears to be doing client-side validation, and it shows
an error instead of displaying the feed's contents. Okay, so let's
try Mozilla:

Looks like Mozilla does the same thing. How about Opera?

So, the most popular Windows browsers all perform client-side
validation, and fail to display the contents of the invalid Atom feed.
There's nothing surprising here, of course - any validating XML
parser will reject this feed.
Consumers of RSS feeds have had to code around all sorts of
validation problems in order to be backwards-compatible with existing
feeds. Atom, however, is new, so customers aren't already subscribed
to hundreds of invalid Atom feeds. Being well-formed is a requirement
of XML, and Atom is defined as an XML format, so why not expect Atom
feeds to be well-formed? Let's get it right this time.

and *MY* blog address (which, in case you're too to have noticed, is

guess who the *REAL* Chris Pirillo is. So, go ahead - post as "me,"
and then guess who "I" am. All non-me comments will be deleted and
banned permanently, so play by the rules or GTFO. This experiment is

The File Sharing Experiment
The File Sharing Experiment
08/05/2004 12:38 PMThe File
Sharing Experiment is a project with the goal of demonstrating how
file sharing actually helps the music, movie, and software industry.
Folks are encouraged to post purchases they've made and a short
explanation of how they learned about the band/movie/game and why they
ended up buying something for it. All the evidence is anectdotal, but
when taken together, it's already over a quarter million dollars in
reported sales and the site has been up for one week.
Personally, this was the point I tried to make in the heyday of
Napster. You could find anything on Napster, but rarely could you find
complete albums, so the service had the effect of promoting CD sales.
I would often surf others' music lists whenever I noticed things I
liked, download the things I hadn't ever heard of, then I'd end up
buying CDs from Amazon.

Portsmouth's Free Experiment Expands
05/27/2004 03:17 PMPortsmouth, New Hampshire, expands a one-year trial of free Wi-Fi in
its downtown: I first heard about this on the radio program I was
interviewed on yesterday on New Hampshire Public Radio (show archived
at this page). The first year had 600 unique users connect to a free
hotspot in the Market Square area. They're extending that and hoping
for twice the users using donated services and hardware. The cost must
be quite minimal. Now 600 people (not 600 sessions) only translates
into an extra few people a day, on average, but Portsmouth is using
whatever tools they have to increase traffic to the community. The
fellow interviewed alongside me on the radio said that their big time
is cyclical, every four years, when the primaries roll through the
state, and that reporters were filing over the free Wi-Fi this last
winter....

Who Owns Your Email Address?
Who Owns Your Email Address?
05/19/2004 02:53 PMWhile everyone is trying to figure out how to stop spam, a very
interesting legal question is being raised:
who actually owns
your email address? Is it you? Is it whoever owns the domain
name (assuming you don't own your own domain name)? Is it the
internet as a whole? Since many lawsuits involving email seem to rely
on property rights issues, this question may become more important
over time - and it's unclear if there's a really good answer.

Outgoing Email Address Aliasing
Outgoing Email Address Aliasing
02/01/2005 09:08 PMHere's a handy feature idea for an email client: outgoing email
address aliasing. This means that whenever I send an email to
"deane@workemail.com," that address is substituted with
"deane@homeemail.com" as the email is sent.
I have someone who always sends me email at the wrong place. If
I'm at home, he sends it to work. If I'm working, he sends it home.
He tells me that he just replies to where I send the email from. But
it doesn't matter where I send it from, I want all his emails
to be sent to the same account.
Wouldn't it be nice if he could create email address substitution
lists in his email client? He could list all my various email
addresses as aliases of the single address I want all my email to go
to. Then, as his client is sending the email, it substitutes all the
aliases with the correct email address.
Does this seem like something that would provide value? Or am I
way off in left field here?
