Blogging Goes Mainstream

" 'Just like the Internet was 10 years ago, blogging is popular with an underground culture that is doing it for the love and passion,' said Tony Perkins, who edited the recently folded Red Herring technology magazine and last month launched a business blog called Always On Network.

'Now there are people like me coming along and trying to figure out how to package it,' Perkins said. 'It's time to take it to the next level.' " [http://www.cnn.com/ ]

This is a reprint of an Associated Press article from last week, but what's interesting is the poll on CNN's site asking if readers have ever used a blog. Assuming that bloggers aren't deliberately skewing the results in an attempt to get BigCos to stay away from blogs (like that could happen now), 55% of the more than 1300 people that answered the poll picked "No and I probably won't."

That's probably accurate because if "using" means "working with," by the time they use a blog, it will be integrated into whatever software they are using. If "using" means reading a blog, they still won't know because to most folks it will just be a web site with short entries arranged chronologically.

Major technology companies such as Microsoft and IBM are endorsing blogging as a means of enhancing companies' communications channels while at the same time eyeing them as potential profit-boosters. At a recent conference held at the University of California Berkeley's Haas Business School, IBM Almaden Research Center director James Spohrer outlined his company's plans for integrating blogging into its employee communication strategies: "It's about decreasing social space between employees, and increasing the amount of knowledge shared between people." An example might contain some of an individual's educational background and work experience, as well as information on product development strategies that colleagues and customers can access around the clock. This sharing of information could spur feedback on efforts to produce new products and improve business processes, said Spohrer. Meanwhile, some analysts are looking at the marketing potential inherent in blogging. "Blogs are a way to put a human face on the company," because of the continuous interaction and relationships that employees can develop with blog-readers, says Forrester Research analyst Charlene Li.

Gates Endorses Blogging; Blogging Now
Old-Hat 05/22/2004 02:01 PM

Bill Gates' employees were way ahead of the boss when it came to blogging, but it's good to see Gates' endorsement (BBC) nonetheless. If he gets it -- and he obviously does -- then a lot of other folks are sure to follow. I wonder how soon blogging will become a natural, integral part of the operating system. RSS would be a good start.

While much of the blogging world has been ga-ga over getting into the Democratic National Convention, it's tough to find anything interesting going on among the convention bloggers (to their credit, go turn on CSPAN today and see for yourself how boring it is). While our own Jessamyn is there (here are profiles of everyone going), I've found the strange CNN/Technorati partnership to be the most useful thing. Technorati founder David Sifry is basically doing a metafilter of all convention blogs over on CNN as the daily blog roundup, highlighting the posts worth reading among the participants.

I am not mainstream

I am not mainstream 01/01/2004 05:09 PM
With all the "top 10 foo of 2003" lists floating about, I'm becoming more and more aware how mainstream I'm not. It all started with reading the Top Searches 2003 from Yahoo! and the 2003 Google Zeitgeist. I have never used KaZaA, didn't read or see Harry Potter, haven't seen the new Matrix film, never watched American Idol, and I don't find Britney Spears attractive. I couldn't tell you what sport Kobe Bryant plays (and don't care either, thanks). Last...

"The Mainstream Mash-Up" makes it onto the New York Times' list of great ideas of 2004. Question #1: Where is Creative Commons here? Don't they read WIRED at the NYTimes? Question #2: How "mainstream" is a concocted mash-up between Linkin Park + Jay-Z? Hats off to them for innovating, but this is just the tip of the iced-down Rolex.

Voting on entries starts this weekend and the contest ends next month so get your turntables cranking.

Neel also posted a message on the campaign's blog assuring supporters that Dean wasn't giving up.

What's notable is that there is no apparent need to define the term "blog." It's just assumed that people will know what it means.

Bioinformatics Moves Into the Mainstream - An Explosion of Data Is Being Tamed with New Systems By Jennifer Ouellette in The Industrial Physicist (Volume 9, Issue 6)
http://www.a ip.org/tip/INPHFA/vol-9/iss-5/p14.html

Genome mappings, those completed and those in progress, have generated a vast amount of biological data, and now more than ever, scientists need sophisticated computational techniques to make sense of it. To meet those ever-increasing needs, bioinformatics is shifting from software designed for a specific project in academic laboratories to the commercial mainstream. Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary research area loosely defined as the interface between the biological and computational sciences. In practice, the definition is narrower, according to Michael Zuker, a professor of mathematical sciences at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, New York. For Zuker and many others, the term applies to the use of computers to store, retrieve, analyze, or predict the composition or structure of biomolecules. These include genetic materials such as nucleic acids, as well as proteins, the end products of genes. ... The need to manage and analyze this data largely drives the current bioinformatics boom. 'Biology is awash in data,' says Eric Jakobsson. 'We cannot exploit the body of data that is currently out there -- we cannot mine it -- without computers, and now we cannot even handle the data in our own individual labs without sophisticated computation.'"

Podcasting: Podcasting the Cubs
“I've been seeing tons of stories about podcasting, and been showered with the confetti heralding its appearance, but it wasn't until today that I bothered paying attention to the big hoo-hah.  That's because this is podcasting that isn't about podcasting, but about something near and dear to my heart, the Chicago Cubs.  Cubscast.com is the labor of love of three die-hard Cubs fans (and apparent geeks).” [Tinfoil + Raccoon]

Cell Phone Jukebox: The M4300, LG’s Musicphone
“Samsung’s got a musicphone (that new 3GB SGH-i300 handset). Motorola’s got a musicphone (they have those iTunes phones coming up, but they’ve already got the E398 and the MusicMOTO MS350). Pantech’s got a musicphone (the PH-S4000). Sony Ericsson’s got a musicphone (their new W800 Walkman phone, no less). Nokia’s got a musicphone (they’ve done a few—anyone remember the 3300?). Even HTC/Dopod’s got a musicphone (the 585 we wrote about last week). So maybe it’s no surprise that our old friends LG have been showing off a musicphone of their own this week, the M4300.” [Engadget]
