The Difference Between Online Content

The Difference Between Online Content
And Broadcast Content
02/10/2004 02:46 PMMajor League Baseball made news last year for
claim
ing to own all in-progress game data - saying they were going to
go after websites that reported what was happening at a game in
real-time. It didn't matter that the law is pretty clear that you
can't copyright facts - MLB believes that just presenting the data is
a "rebroadcast" of the game. That said, I guess it's no surprise to
hear that they now believe that web audio and video broadcasts of
games should work the same way as television broadcasts with a content
provider
paying a huge
upfront fee for the rights to the games, and then telling them
they can make it back in ad revenue and subscription fees. Of course,
the various internet sites they've approached with this plan have been
laughing them out the door, and pointing out that they're not
television stations, and they just want to provide something useful to
their users - but aren't going to lose money to do so. While MLB has
been at the forefront of offering streaming video and audio, it
appears they still look on this as a broadcast medium, and not the
interactive medium it actually is. They're doing their best to
squeeze more money out of existing fans, rather than attract new fans,
which is dangerous for the future of the sport. Not only do you anger
your biggest fans, you also make it less likely that you're going to
pick up new fans.

09/13/2004 11:08 AMIf you're one of the millions of Americans who once dialed up to the
Internet through a service like AOL or MSN, you may have gotten
attached to all the extra content—the software, games, music, and
chat rooms—that was just a click away from the tidy portal your
service provided. So when you switched to a broadband ISP, it was like
the Wild West. The possibilities seemed endless, but you had to go out
and actually track down all that newly accessible content. Well, you
needn't give it all up.
Both America Online and Microsoft now offer broadband versions of
their online services, and a similar service is available from Yahoo!.
These services give you all the premium content you've come to expect
from such online services, plus scads of additional audio, video,
games, and other material that's best enjoyed over broadband.

Why Do Content Management
Why Do Content Management
05/19/2004 04:31 PMDoes Your Company Have a Content Management
Problem?: Tony Byrne over at CMS Watch (it's two words, don't you know...) has a little checklist on how
to diagnose if you have a content management problem. It's also handy
in describing exactly what enterprise content management is.
When I was looking at large scale content management systems in a
prior position, my original question was, why get a CMS? What value
is it going to bring me? Read this quick list and you'll have 15
reasons, though whether or not they're important to you is a question
you need to answer before you embark.
...Web managers need to "roll back" the site to a previous version
— perhaps for legal or regulatory reasons — but
cannot.
...Content contributors are unable to pre-publish content to appear
at a specified later date or time.
...Website managers cannot associate the company's products and
services to articles or news on the site (or vice-versa).
After reading this, get some perspective by reading this: Content Management Systems Are Like
Relationships.

Don Box: Tim Ewald, Joe Beda, ChrisAn and I are trying to
get the new format for exchanging items working. Here's a
preview of what it looks like now
This format has a number of interesting twists. First, it
is document literal XML which
Anonymou
s
[presumably Gary Burd] doesn't particularly feel is vi
compatible. I'd bet that Don's example was entered in
Emacs. Note that the cited xhtml namespace incorrectly points
to the same namespace as the blog content.
Like
prior iterations from Don, the content is included literally,
with no need for encoding. This brings up two questions: if
literal XML encoding is acceptable for the body, why is it all of a
sudden unacceptable for headers? And how should multi-line
headers, like the short description (sometimes referred to
excerpts) be encoded?
What is also interesting about this example is that it separates
the metadata from the content. While this surprised me, it
does makes sense from a SOAP processing model perspective: the one
element in the body it intended for the ultimate destination (in
SOAP parlance, this is the default actor) and must be understood,
the others may be handled by intermediaries and/or disregarded.
I'm not sure what the right split between data and metadata is
in this instance. The split that Don, et. al. proposes does
have the disadvantage of precluding the ability to the functional
equivalent of
pingbacks.
[Note to Joe: can you put some anchor tags in your Comment API
proposal?]

Advertising Is Content
07/26/2004 02:27 PMThis has been an ongoing
theme<
/a> around here, but it looks like slowly, but surely, TV execs are
realizing that advertising is content. For too long, many
people assumed that content was what brought people in, and
advertising was the annoying stuff they put up with to see the stuff
they wanted. When you begin to realize that advertising itself
is content (and that any content can be used for advertising),
it opens up a whole new world of possibilities, where things like TiVo
and unauthorized downloading aren't scary. In fact, they're so not
scary that they start to look like wide open opportunities. E-Media
Tidbits is noticing the fact that commercials are apparently starting
to become entertaining enough on their own that there's now a whole TV
channel devoted to them. I don't think this is really that new.
For years, there have been successful TV shows playing "the funniest
commercials." AdCritic was hugely popular in attracting visitors
(though, never came up with a good business model) years back showing
that people wanted to watch commercials. In fact, it seems like a TV
show of commercials is actually a step backwards, making people sit
through random commercials, rather than letting them pick and choose,
such as at AdCritic or one of the sites that have tried to do similar
offerings.

Fighting Content Rot
07/11/2004 12:35 AMIf you manage a Web site for more than a few months, you run into
problems of content rot. You'll be cruising through some old pages,
and you'll find stuff that's...off, for one reason for another.
For instance, when this blog first started, I was anal-retentive
about enclosing BLOCKQUOTEd text in quotes. It was a quote, after
all. I would go through all the text I quoted, find double quotes,
convert them to singles, then surround the entire thing in
double-quotes before BLOCKQUOTEing the entire thing.
Now, this was very admirable of me, but when I started
inviting others to blog with me, that whole concept broke down.
Not everyone was doing it, and since it wasn't consistent, I didn't
want to do it at all. However, there are still a thousand or so
entries sitting out there with quotes around them.
Just recently, we started to standardize code fragments we post
with by using the CODE tag and the Sim
pleCode script. There remain, however, a hundred or so posts with
code hacked up in BLOCKQUOTEs or DIVs or God knows what.
These aren't an isolated cases — there are styles that we've
since abandoned, double-dashes that haven't been replaced with the
— entity, etc. I try to nail these things as entries hit
the site, but I miss some. On top of all this, throw in link rot
— links that just 404 over time — and comments. Ugh,
comments...
I try to stay on top of comment spam, but I'm sure some get
through. Additionally, there are stupid comments that slip by (why do
people insist on testing my comment form with 'fgfgfgfgfgf' all the
time?), and comments that aren't relevant any longer — people
complaining about bad links that I've fixed or mis-spellings that I've
corrected.
Categorization is another thing. I added the Temple of
Mac category at about entry #1,600. However, I didn't bother to
go back through all the old entries and move all the Mac-related
entries to the new category.
Mix all this together, and you have a site that doesn't really age
well. I'm sure if I tooled through 100 old entries, I'd have
something that needed to be fixed or corrected in at least 40 of them.
How do you handle this? Gadgetopia is hurtling toward entry number
3,000, and that's a lot of volume.
I've often thought that I should create a script that just
generated 10 random entries a day for me to review. Each morning, I'd
get an email with 10 entries in it that I need to look over and touch
up. But how do you make sure you get them all before you start
getting duplicates? I suppose you could log them all in a table and
then join the entries table against it to filter out entries that had
already been covered. Like this:
SELECT e.entry_id FROM mt_entries e LEFT JOIN
already_reviewed e ON e.entry_id = r.id WHERE r.id IS NULL ORDER BY
RAND LIMIT 10
(I haven't tested this SQL, mind you.) Wrap some PHP around this,
schedule it for the middle of the night, and you'd have 10 entries
every morning that you can tune up. Perhaps I'd send 10 to myself,
and three or so to each of the rest of the authors.
I think, however, I'm going to try something different. I'm on the
verge of putting another sidebar on the front page called "One Year
Ago Today" that lists the things were we talking about a year ago (see
the OnThisDay plugin). I'll schedule an automatic rebuild of the front page every
morning at 1:00 a.m., then check the year-old entries while I'm eating
my Crunchy Corn Bran in the morning.
Maybe this will work, maybe it won't. If someone wants to take a
stab at the mailer script (or if you already have), please post a
link. If anyone else has any thoughts about content rot, let's hear
them.

An amazing Year!
An amazing Year!
06/06/2005 12:01 AMA Year ago I was laying in a hospital bed overseas having just come
out of surgery that resulted in some stainless steel in my back with 4
wicked screws, and a severely damaged vertebrae. This would be the
start of 13 days in the hospital, being fit with a full body cast,
then graduating to a clam shell device that cost my insurance company
7k, and a heavily medicated patient for 8 weeks following the
surgery.
The day I quit my pain meds I went cold turkey on a Friday, told my
Doctor on Tuesday after having a very agonizing 3 days, and nights. I
obviously needed the pain meds early on, and having remembered laying
on a hospital emergency room bed screaming for about the first 9 hours
because the morphin they gave me didn't really help I was reluctant to
go down that road again.
I returned to work after 8 weeks off and within a week, was back in
a Airplane on a 6 week business trip. My Doctor lost his mind but hey
when it was time to get back to work you have to dive back in. The
hardest part for the 3 months was the clam shell was not being able to
pick my kid up.
Finally in Feb of this year, I was given the green light to start
light exercising. I podcasted my hospital experience and you can find
the audio clip on this p
ost you can take a look at the h
ardware I carry around here.
I am not complaining, as I am very blessed to be walking, and even
though I live in a constant state of low level pain life is good.
The wife had expected me to be rolled off the airplane as the initial
prognosis was really bad and instead I walked off.
One thing though because I flew back from the middle east only 15
days after being injured, I had to lay flat as much as possible so I
enjoyed 1st class on 3 consecutive flights and enjoyed the food but
had to decline the liquor, as the Roxicet and the Oxycodone I was
prescribed was enough bad stuff in my blood stream.
Thus having spent my 40th birthday in that hospital bed
contemplating life, and having really looked forward to 2004 being in
my rear view mirror the road ahead is a bright one and I am happy to
be have faired as well as I have. So their may be times when I get
excited about stuff and jump in with both feed but the reason for that
is simple I was given a second chance to make profound changes in my
families and people I come in contact withs life.
My Wife, and Kids were champions and my extended family and friends
prayed and took car of my wife when I was half a world away. Thank you
for being here during the past year also.

03/20/2003 01:05 PMThe concept sounds great: Give voice commands to your computer, like
ordering an obedient
servant to bring you a cocktail. No more fumbling with an aging mouse
or awkward
trackball, no more slow typing on a keyboard. But so far, speech
technology is a
solid example of an idea well conceived but poorly executed.

The most amazing salad in the world
The most amazing salad in the world
08/01/2004 01:15 PMThe other night, as Jason already reported, I had dinner at Craft. One
of the highlights of the meal for me was the special heirloom tomato
appetizer we ordered. It perfectly accentuated the range of
intoxicating sweetness to be found in these delightful vegetables
(fruits, whatever).
As a fairly recent victor in Battle Tomato, I was surprised by how
much I enjoyed it, and found myself on Friday buying over a pound of
heirloom tomatoes at the Greenmarket to attempt an at-home recreation
of the dish. I'm happy to report that my Craft's Heirloom Tomato Salad
was a huge success (coupled with fresh corn on the cob, it made for an
all-Greenmarket-veggie dinner). So delightful was it that Saturday
morning on my way home from a run, I stopped again at the Greenmarket
to use my last few dollars to buy three more tomatoes. If you enjoy
tomatoes and have access to nice ripe heirlooms, you couldn't ask for
a better way to enjoy them.
