The FBI Called Again
02/10/2004 02:57 AMOur network was shut down by DDOS attacks for 4 hours a day, three
days in a row. Today we got a message from the FBI. Apparently they
are investigating: My name is [snip] and I'm an FBI Agent in [snip]
investigating a distributed denial of service attack affecting
several different companies around the U.S. and in some foreign
countries. I'm writing to ask for your help. Please call me at your
earliest opportunity. Thanks!

A Puppy Called "It"
A Puppy Called "It"
09/10/2004 06:24 PMOne of the handful of English-language books that is easy to buy in
Japan is Dave Pelzer's bestselling A
Child Called "It". Waiting for a train I managed to
skim through most of this popular work and it has come back into my
mind today as I take care of Roxanne, Alex's 5.5-month-old
cousin. Mr. Pelzer says that, as a child, his mother made him
live in the garage and eat scraps of food while his siblings were
dining on lobster at the table. It made me wonder what kind of
book dogs would write it if they could. "While the rest of the
family chowed down on $200 of natural foods from the Whole Paycheck
supermarket, I was nearly starved for the whole day and then confined
to the floor and given one small bowl of 6-month-old dried out nuggets
that had come in a bag."

Why's it called Syndication?
Why's it called Syndication?
06/17/2004 02:52 PMJoffrey Koliante asked...
I keep asking myself what does "syndicate" mean.
I would say that Syndicators are systems that make any content
available as an XML feed. When syndicators
syndicate content, this is called syndication.Right ?
So why do so many blogs, especially Movable Type powered ones,
write "Syndicate this site" rather than "Aggregate this
site?"
The short answer is: because the original use for XML content feeds was truly syndication and the
term stuck.
RSS was first used by Netscape in their
My Netscape portal. Content providers would syndicate their headlines
to Netscape using RSS, a file format that they invented.
The acronym meant "Rich Site Summary." When RSS began being used by individuals to grab
content from multiple locations for display in an aggregator, the term
"Rich Site Summary started to become less and less accurate. Much
of the content was not summaries at all, but rather the content in its
entirety. So a new meaning for the acronym was invented: "Really
Simple Syndication."
If you want the long answer instead of my oversimplification of the
history of RSS, poke around the Web looking
for information about Dave Winer, Netscape, and the different versions
of RSS: 0.91, 0.92, 1.0 and 2.0.
One of the meanings of syndication is the distribution of content
to multiple locations for simultaneous publication. So in that sense,
syndication is a good term for what is occurring. However, the act of
consuming the content (what the end users are doing when they
"syndicate this site") is not technically syndication.
While "aggregate this site" is probably a better
description, "syndicate" is in common use and probably
won’t go away anytime soon. But I’d argue that neither
term is very good if you want mainstream Internet users to pick up on
content feeds.

The Ringtone Label?
12/24/2004 12:18 PMWith the rise of ringtones, it seems that some have really taken the
idea and tried to run with it. So far, certainly, ringtones have done
well for some companies, but it's still not clear if it's a
sustainable market, or a faddish one. There's also the fact that the
industry continues to deny that file sharing of ringtones could ever
be a risk -- which suggests they're only asking for serious trouble
down the road. Still, the latest move is that one company has
set up
a record label just for ringtones. Because, already, musicians
have separate labels for CDs and videos and digital downloads and...
wait a second... no they don't. Most musicians basically sign deals
with a single recording label to handle all of their musical
endeavors, so it seems sort of strange to have an entirely separate
label for ringtones only. For recording labels that don't already
include this in their standard contracts, they will soon -- and then
this new "label" will be out of luck. Of course, the reality is that
it's just a way for this company to get a little extra publicity for
these "unique" ringtones. Considering that part of the reason
ringtones are so popular, though, is that people recognize the songs
they represent, it makes you wonder if people really are that
interested in songs that are designed just to be ringtones. Seems
sort of like a niche market within a niche market.

Ringtone Hype
Ringtone Hype
12/11/2003 01:13 PMI've written before about the wireless carriers' current obsession
with ringtones. It appears to be a
booming
business, to the point that others are muscling in on the
carrier's turf by offering "non-authorized" ringtones or even the
ability to make your own ringtones (for a fee, of course). While it
may be good money in the short run, I still don't see how it's
sustainable. As mobile phone platforms are increasingly open and
standardized, ringtones will go through the same Napsterization
process, where many will be available for free. Meanwhile, I still
don't understand what's wrong with the good, old-fashioned vibrate
mode that doesn't bother anyone around you. However, the article does
mention the growing popularity of the
silent
ringtone that we wrote about last week. Apparently, it costs $2.
Incredible. We've reached the point where people are willing to pay
to have their mobile phone
not ring. Maybe the next step is
letting people pay to have
someone else's mobile phone not
ring. "My goodness is your ringtone annoying. Here's $2. Go buy
yourself a silent ringtone."

Recording Industry's Next Trick?
Killing Ringtone Sales
Recording Industry's Next Trick?
Killing Ringtone Sales
05/25/2004 02:49 PMIt's like watching a bad movie over and over again, each time a
somewhat promising market starts to open up for the recording
industry, they all do their best to kill it. Earlier today we saw how
they're looking to kill the promising market for
immed
iate live recordings of concerts, but now it looks like they may
be killing off ringtones. For the last year or so, ringtones have
been the surprising revenue generator for both mobile phone carriers
and the recording industry, and despite plenty of warning and
predictions that this market couldn't last, the recording industry
isn't known for their ability to understand how technology changes
will impact their business over time. Already we've seen applications
like
Xingtone
take the industry by surprise by daring to let users make
ringtones out of music they've legally purchased - and it won't be
long until ringtones are easily downloadable directly to mobile phones
via a Napster-like application (if it doesn't exist already). Still,
the music industry sees money, and are
increasing the royalty rates they charge for ringtones,
making them more expensive. In fact, ringtones that are mere snippets
of songs cost much more than actually downloading the full song from
any of the various download music stores out there. Of course, all
this will really do is drive more people to investigate alternatives
like Xingtone, and make the "market" for selling ringtones disappear
quite quickly. This was going to happen eventually no matter what, so
maybe, by raising prices, the industry is just speeding up the
process.
