Contest 07/11/2004 01:37 AM
Now that WWDC and the Apple Design Awards have made big splashes, it's time to turn our sights to the 2004 Mac OS X Innovators Contest. If you have a cool application or plugin that runs natively on Panther, this event is your opportunity to show them to the world, and maybe win some great prizes along the way. This year's event will be very similar to last year's, except that we're only having one round (instead of three). The contest is open now, so you can read the rules, then check out the prizes, and when you're ready, complete the entry form.

New Mac OS X Innovators Contest

New Mac OS X Innovators Contest 07/07/2004 05:42 PM

O’Reilly has announced a new Mac OS X Innovators Contest, with the award to be presented at this year’s OS X conference in October.

If you’re an OS X developer, no matter how small, I encourage you to enter the contest. It was a great thing for us (NetNewsWire won last year in the first contest)—and it would have been a good learning experience even had we not won, since in entering we had to write about our application succinctly and describe why anyone would be interested in it. (Which is a valuable thing to be able to do.)

I’ll be attending the conference, and I look forward to congratulating the winners—which could be you!

Note to innovators: translate technology
to users 03/06/2004 01:51 AM

When I heard about the XHTML Friends Network, I kind of filed it away with FOAF and other technology projects that sound interesting but entirely too academic, since they often offer no immediate means to incorporate them into my sites/tools. When I noticed that XFN was a blogroll thing and that I recently started using some code to extract my blo.gs favorites into a blogroll here on this site, I asked Jim if it was possible to incorporate xfn into the blo.gs tool.

He launched it today and here's a screenshot of the interface for one of my favorites. It's dead simple, letting you click a few boxes and push a button to fill out your relationship info and eventually the info will percolate into my blogroll here on my site.

A lot of new technologies focus so much on the nitty gritty details of RDF, XML, etc and I think developers forget that people won't or can't use any technology until it's got an easy-to-use interface. I know it's important at some level, but I couldn't care less about say, which RDF vocabulary FOAF will use, I only care how easy it will be to add FOAF stuff to my site (best is having something do it automatically) and what cool apps people can build off it.

Announcing Blosxom 2.0

Announcing Blosxom 2.0 10/28/2003 11:06 PM
I'm thrilled to announce that Blosxom 2.0 has been released today. For those not in the know, blosxom (pronounced "blossom") is a lightweight yet feature-packed weblog application designed from the ground up with simplicity, usability, and interoperability in mind.

The biggest change in this latest incarnation of Blosxom is a plugin architecture, allowing the core of Blosxom to remain small, sleek, and simpler-than-pie while providing room for extension and integration. The Blosxom Plugin Registry is already home to some 140 plugins ranging from authentication to Google search, click-through tracking to writebacks (read: combination talkbacks and TrackBacks).

There's also a brand new Blosxom for Mac OS X Installer, the simplest way to get Blosxom on your laptop, desktop, or closet Mac without any of the muss or fuss of installing it by hand. A couple-three clicks of the mouse and it'll skip lightly through the nitty-gritties, installing Blosxom itself, some sample flavours, documentation, and some useful plug-ins.

Also launching today is the new and improved blosxom.com. The site features updated, augmented, and just plain new documentation and an easier path download, installation, configuration, and blogging -- not to mention the snazzy layout. And the whole kit and kaboodle is built on and powered by Blosxom using nothing but what comes on board and the power of a selection of user-contributed plugins; for the niggly-naggly details, take a gander at the colophon.

Karma++, Brownie++, and gold stars to the Blosxom users and abusers on the blosxom mailing list for their patience, bug-fixes, suggestions, and plugins. You truly are a fabulous community within which to hack and learn.

Announcing ReBlg.com

Announcing ReBlg.com 06/22/2005 02:41 AM

“Ever wondered why you can’t just click on an article and blog it?” – where’s the universal “Blog This” button?

“Concerned that while microformats and micro-content standards are taking off, our existing tools will lose the structure of these ‘chunks of reviews, events, media. Etc.?” – where are the ‘reblogging tools’ that maintain the structure of microformats and micro-content?
“Tired of being forced to use only the latest tool or utility to take advantage of a new standard – wish you could use ANY tool or utility instead?” - where’s a routing service to enable me to send posts to whatever tool I chose?

Well then – you know why we created ReBlg.com – a universal “Blog This” button and routing service.

With ReBlog.com end-users will be able to click on a ‘ReBlog’ button and send a piece of micro-content or microformat to their favorite tool for editing, annotating or just plain prettying up. End-users would specify what is their favorite tool at a simple web service or in a MIME handler that they downloaded and run on their own machine.

Even though it’s been possible for years, most of today’s aggregators and tools do not support the notion of displaying a button to easily allow end-users to “Blog This” particular post or article. Sure some aggregators enable plug-ins to kludge this option, but in general most bloggers are forced to ‘cut’ the source of a post and ‘paste’ it into their favorite tool. With each tool or environment comes a different kludge or hack, with its own rules and gotchas to contend with.

And now that microformats and micro-content standards are emerging around richly structured content, isn’t this dream of ease of use slipping through our fingers?

So how would a standard to enable a universal “Blog This” button to work? Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to click on a ‘ReBlg’ button and decide which tool I want to send that post to – irregardless of who produces that tool? Wouldn’t it be nice that this process NOT lose the structure of the microformat or micro-content I’m clicking on – thereby keeping in tact the structure of that post?

Wouldn’t it be nice to support a system of meshing together various kinds of tools, utilities or solutions – from a wide range of vendor’s – without forcing end-users to take sides or lock them into one tool vendors camp or product?

Well that’s what ReBlg.com will do. (http://reblg.com/ )

Broadband Mechanics will be utilizing this technology in all our future micro-content publishing systems and DLAs (digital lifestyle aggregators) so we thought it would be useful to the entire industry as well.

Here’s how it would work:

- a tool vendor or individual page creator would:

o a) make sure that each individual micro-content or microformat posts would have their own unique permalink or anchor URL
o b) we’d provide code that would display a ‘Reblg’ button next to that post ( http://gonze.com/bbm/source.html )

- when an end-user clicks on this button, the post is sent to a router screen which sends the post (via a web service called ReBlg.com or a MIME handler that was downloaded onto the end-users machine) to their favorite tool of choice.
- The micro-content structure would be maintained, while each ‘reblog’ tool would provide whatever features that tool vendor wishes. BBM will (for instance) enable end-users to add visual wrapper or borders, annotation, tags and URLK to the post
- That’s it ( http://reblg.com/ )

ReBlg.com would enable end-users to register their favorite tool of choice so that wherever they traveled on the web, by simply clicking on the ‘ReBlg’ button – they could easily send that post to their favorite tool. If the end-user doesn’t want to rely upon our web service, then they can simply download a MIME handler to do that routing for them.

We’ll soon to be putting out a FireFox Greasemoneky script – which will automatically sense micro-formats and display the ‘ReBlg’ buttons. An ActiveX control is also in the works.

By providing a simple way for end-users to send any richly structured post to their favorite tool, the microformat and micro-content revolution can take another step towards reality.

And where are these tools which will recognize the microformats or micro-content and not lose their structure? Well BBM will be providing one and plug-ins for WordPress and Moveable Type – as well.

Final NOTE: We feel horrible about being so close to Reblog.org. They’re nice people – but we use the term reblog completely differently. Hmmmmm.

Announcing (and explaining) our new 2.0
licenses

Announcing (and explaining) our new 2.0
licenses 05/25/2004 06:04 PM

Last night, after many months of gathering and processing great feedback from all of you, we turned on version 2.0 of the main Creative Commons licenses. The 2.0 licenses are very similar to the 1.0 licenses -- in aim, in structure, and, by and large, in the text itself. We've included, however, a few key improvements, thanks to your input. A quick list of new features follows. All section numbers refer to the Attr ibution-Noncommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 license. (Corresponding section numbers may vary across licenses.)

Attribution comes standard

Our web stats indicate that 97-98% of you choose Attribution, so we decided to drop Attribution as a choice from our license menu -- it's now standard. This reduces the number of licenses from eleven possible to six and makes the license selection user interface that much simpler. Important to remember: Attribution can always be disavowed upon licensor request, and pseudonymous and anonymous authorship are always options for a licensor, as before. If we see a huge uprising against the attribution-as-stock-feature, we'll certainly consider bringing it back as an option.

Link-back attribution clarified

Version 1.0 licenses did not carry any requirements to add hyperlinks as attribution. Under the 2.0 licenses, a licensor may require that licensees, to fulfill their attribution requirement, provide a link back to the licensor's work. Three conditions must be satisfied, though, before a licensee faces the linkback requirement: (1) linking back must be "reasonably practicable" -- you can't string me up for failing to link to a dead page, for example; (2) the licensor must specify a URL -- if you don't provide one specifically, i have no linkback obligation; (3) the link licensor provides must point to the copyright and licensing notice of the CC'd work -- in other words, licensors who abuse the linkback as an engine for traffic to unrelated sites don't enjoy linkback rights.

Synch rights clarified

The new licenses clarify when licensees may or may not synchronize musical CC'd works in timed-relation with a moving image. Basically, if a license allows derivatives, it allows the synching of music to video. If no derivs, no synching allowed. (See Sect ion 1b.)

Other music-specific rights clarified

The default rules for music-related copyrights can be particularly complicated, and the 2.0 licenses go to greater length to clarify how various CC license options affect music rights. In a nutshell: If you pick the "noncommercial" provision, you retain the right to collect royalties from BMI, ASCAP, or the equivalent for performance royalties; from Harry Fox or the equivalent for mechanicals; and from SoundExchange or the equivalent from webcasting compulsories. If you allow commercial re-use, you waive the exclusive rights to collect these various revenue streams. This is not a departure from the policy embodied in the 1.0 licenses -- these same results would be extrapolated by any reasonable interpretation. But 2.0 just makes it all clearer, and using the language of the profession. (See Sect ions 4e and 4f.) Note: This music-specific language marks the first time we've referred to any specific statutes in the generic CC licenses. This means that future iCommons licenses will have to do the same somewhat complicated mapping exercise for each respective jurisdiction.

Warranties? Up to licensors

Unlike the 1.0 licenses, the 2.0 licenses include language that makes clear that licensors' disclaim warranties of title, merchantibility, fitness, etc. As readers of this blog know by now, the decision to drop warranties as a standard feature of the licenses was a source of much organizational soul-searching and analytical thinking for us. Ultimately we were swayed by a two key factors: (1) Our peers, most notably, Karl Lenz, Dan Bricklin, and MIT. (2) The realization that licensors could sell warranties to risk-averse, high-exposure licensees interested in the due diligence paper trial, thereby creating nice CC business model. (See the Prelinger Archive for a great example of this free/fee, as-is/warranty approach.) You can find extensive discussion of this issue in previous posts on this blog. (See Sect ion 5.)

Share Alike Across Borders

Version 2.0 licenses that feature the Share Alike requirement now clarify that derivatives may be re-published under one of three types of licenses: (1) the exact same license as the original work; (2) a later version of the same license as the original work; (3) an iCommons license that contains the same license elements as the original work (e.g. BY-SA-NC, as defined in Sect ion 1 of each license). The version 1.0 licenses required that derivative be published under the exact same license only. Our tweak means much better compatibility across future jurisdiction-specific licenses and going forward across versions. Less forking, more fun. (See Sect ion 4b.)

Otherwise, Share Alike Means Share Alike

After much very strong and eloquent argument from our readers and supporters, and notwithstanding the increased flexibility of Share Alike in the iCommons context, we decided not to make the BY-NC-SA and plain BY-SA licenses compatible. If you take a work under BY-NC-SA 2.0 and make something new from it, for example, you can re-publish under BY-NC-SA Japan, or BY-NC-SA 7.4 (when that comes), but you cannot republish it under any other license or combine it with BY-SA content. Similarly, a derivative made from a work under BY-SA 2.0 may be published only under BY-SA 2.0, BY-SA (iCommons license), or BY-SA 9.1, but it can't be mixed with BY-NC-SA or other noncommercial content and republished.

Review of new Yahoo Groups

Review of new Yahoo Groups 03/27/2005 08:26 AM

Of couse I don't like the new Yahoo Groups user interface, no surprise there, when you've become accustomed the way a piece of software works, and it changes, unexpectedly, well, it's like waking from a dream, one you weren't even aware you were having.

Certain things seem totally wrong, like the huge places for pictures for each of the groups. Most groups don't have them, so the box says "add photo." I wonder if more people are going to add photos now (and was it an attempt to be like Flickr, I wonder?) The tradeoff seems unreasonable. Now there's room for far-fewer groups on a page.

They also vertically expanded the listing for members and messages, again, you can see fewer on a page. Maybe they're displaying more information, but there's also a lot more white space, which in some contexts could be nice, but here, is a waste, making you work harder to find the same information you found before.

They did change one thing that's not cosmetic, now all members can browse the member lists of groups. I wonder how much they thought this through, I'm pretty sure I don't belong to any groups I wouldn't want people to know about. Hmmm.

E v announces that Google is beta-testing the ability for users to create their own groups (fighting Yahoo on another front).

I just went in and created a group for the nascent Citizens Media Association hatched at Bloggercon. Nothing there so go say things...

How weird is it that Google would have both this featuire and Orkut.  Maybe somebody should tell them it's the same thing - just different features of the same app.  This is what happens when you build a company on one feature.

Why isn't this Orkut?

Yahoo Groups Now Displays the XML Icon
(Confusing as It May Be) 06/01/2004 01:07 AM

"I noticed that Yahoo is now including an RSS 2.0 feed with every Yahoo Group.  Nice.  It even includes an orange XML icon." [John Robb's Weblog]

I note this functionality in my presentations and classes on RSS, but I didn't realize Yahoo was actually providing the little icon on each page now (at least for publicly-accessible archives).
