Sony Rumored To Reenter PDA Market With

Sony Rumored To Reenter PDA Market With
Pocket PC 08/09/2004 03:20 PM

Om Malik passes on a rumor that Sony may be reentering the US PDA market with another Clië - this time running Windows Pocket PC operating system. Although there's not much to go on at the moment - just the overheard comments of a Sony executive - it would be an interesting turn. The PDA market in general is stagnating, with Palm's share slowing slipping in most segments. But it also seems weird to scrap five+ years of PalmOS experience just to move back into the PDA segment with an operating system that plenty of others are already leaving behind, as well.

And a Symbian PDA? It could happen - Nokia is working on one - but for whatever reason I just don't see that coming from Sony unless it's in the form of a smartphone. Overall, though, I consider the whole thing unlikely.

Microsoft rumored to be making major
Podcasting announcement at Gnomedex 06/06/2005 12:01 AM

A little bird told me tonight that their is major rumors being spread by the Microsoft elite that their will be a major podcast related announcement by Microsoft and maybe even Bill Gates himself at Gnomedex.

Keep the tips coming people and if this one proves to be true, I am going to be in the Gnomedex house watching it go down live. I may even work a deal with some of TechPodcasts.com partners to make that event a live one!

This is going to be a great event and I even hear Google is putting on a party so if all goes well we will get to put a microphone in front of some important people. Plus I am taking bunch of books to give away. If your going to be at Gnomedex lets hook up the night before as I fly in the day before the event kicks off.

The new Friendster

The new Friendster 02/05/2005 09:12 PM

I've been waiting a whiele to see what happens with the new Friendster. So far - not much. But they do send this nifty little newsletter nowadays - which has the status of some of my friends in it.

What intrigues me about this - is how did they know which friends to tell me about? Those who have updated recently? Those who are 'important' in the blogosphere - or what?

The reason I'm curious is that if you look at these peeps below - you'll notice nobody less than danah boyd, Xeni Jardin, Tyler Ziemann, Justin Hall and Scott Rafer.

Not a bad selection of peeps. So I'd say there's something going on here - something that's determining who is 'important' in my life - or something like that. Cause Julia Lolita is not known in the blogspehere and Noah Glass is kind of but not that much. Julia is an all-star in the SF/BM/LaLa party scene and Noah used to live with me as a roomate.

Julia's company "Blood & Butter" productions has put on some of the best parties ever - some of them at my house (with Noah particiapting I may add.) So how did Friendster know how important Julia is to me? Email traffic? And Jason is a friend of Julia's - I barely know him. He's teh one man out in this elite list. Hmmm.

But I don't exchange email with Justin, Xeni or Scott on Friendster? So I'm curious just how this list was determined.

I've quit. I don't ever use it. I don't have a pressing need to be registered at a site for daters and people with "open" marriages. I wasn't impressed with the CEO throwing Friendster condoms into the audience after giving a talk. I have a problem with the site's disrespect for the implicit.

Esther Dyson, queen of comedy.

I know I know - it is like poking a rattle snake with your foot. But I am feeling feisty this morning. Now that Esther Dyson doesn’t really have anything to say about anything (smart guy in her company is doing his own thing), she has decided that comedy is the next big thing.

Dyson got the biggest laugh by suggesting a business model for Sunnyvale-based Friendster, the popular social networking service and a company that has yet to collect any revenue from its users. Populated by lonely singles looking to line up dates, Friendster should start a personal gift registry, Dyson said. The bottom line would be: “If you want to date me, this is what you’ve got to buy me.” (San Jose Mercury News)

Yup, that’s a new business model, so new that every generation has been doing the same since Adam and …

Of a friend....Four Bay Area women conceived the Date My Friend idea in January by merging their original invite lists of 50 friends each, hoping that their single pals would be put at ease knowing that the guy asking for their number was somehow connected to them in that six-degrees-of-separation fashion."

Variety reports that Topher Grace will star in an untitled Harold Ramis ("Groundhogs Day") comedy that will be based on the popular web service, Friendster.com. Gustin Nash will pen the screenplay. Topher will play a character that will utilize the website, as well as instant messaging and camera phones, as he looks for love on the Internet.

So this woman Troutgirl works at Friendster - I think she may even be one of the lead programmers.

Jeremy Zawodny points to her post......

Bring me my social networking

One day last year, I was sitting in the lobby of a hotel in midtown Manhattan with two friends. It was pouring rain outside, and we were in low-energy mode. We were idly thinking about going to see a movie at the theater across the street, but had no idea what was playing or when. Our next best plan was to go somewhere for a drink before dinner -- but again, no one had any good ideas about where. I also needed to check my email to catch up on tentative plans with an acquaintance further uptown -- a guy I knew well enough to exchange email with, but not well enough to have his phone number -- but I didn't have a computer or network access closer than my friends' room upstairs. And of course I was sitting there thinking, "Dammit! It's 2003, and the Interweb still sucks!"

That's what social networking should be, and unfortunately still isn't. In the long run, I don't actually give a rat's ass what my friends' favorite TV shows are -- because I never watch TV with them. Social networking has to be useful and able to solve real problems, not just be a cute (or pornographic) time-waster.

Of my interactions with social networking, the most positive ones so far have been (excluding blogs):

1) Career contacts via LinkedIn. These have been almost all of high quality, and save significant time for both me and the hiring manager. Not that I'm looking for a job right now, but it's always nice to know what's out there; and the introduction aspect is very valuable for this use-case.

2) Being able to route new contacts through Friendster. I love being able to say "Send me a Friendster message" to people I meet through the blogosphere or conferences, instead of having to give out my real email address or IM nick or phone number on the public Internet. And did you know you can now block Friendster messages from undesirable acquaintances?

3) Finding out via an Orkut group that one of my friends had quit his job. He was so busy he didn't bother to let me know his lame self via phone, email, blog, or carrier pigeon.

Given how much time I spent on social software, that's a pretty disappointing payoff. Unfortunately, I don't just get to bitch about it... I'm supposed to be making things better. So help me out here: what social experiences could be usefully intermediated by a service like Friendster, but aren't yet?

[troutgirl]

So that sure soudn sliek she's lookign for input on future features for Friendster. Right on!

Maybe the 'new' Friendster will not only support FOAF, OpenMedia, OpenEvents AND OpenReviews - but also lead us into an inter=-op world where our messages can freely flow from one system to another.

We called that ThreadsML last year.
