FOAF: maybe next time
Friend of a friend (FOAF) is for representing your social network in an XML file. Some people are doing interesting things with this, but for now, I’ll just save a link to a FOAF generator. Maybe in the future, as the social networking craze turns into something useful, rather than simply like collecting baseball cards.…

“The click heard around the…
That is Jeff Jarvis‘s phrase from his commentary on Nisenholtz’s speech at SIIA. Jarvis is saying that citizen’s media is the Pong for digital media. Blogs are just the first step, but — despite Nisenholtz’s cautiousness — the future is here. I wrote my thoughts on the speech on the same day. I found it…

Almost like being there…
Well, not really, but Doc Searls is providing some pointers from Demo. I’m sure there are lots of other Demo blogs out there. I’m curious to see which items are more than a flash in the pan. Update: Technorati method for following the buzz about Demo.

I’m the map, I’m the…
OK, terrible Dora the Explorer reference there, but… well, I have a three year old boy. Anyway, the map in question is the ACME Mapper. I grew up here. I now live here. You do the math.

Who likes to read?
Many geeks (and I mean that term as a compliment) are focused on the burgeoning world of RSS, aggregration, blogs, and the swirling flux in the center of these phenomena. The question I have — and I really want to answer this — is whether the geeks are right to focus so much on this…

Note to self
Don’t connect to the VPN at the same time as publishing a blog entry. It doesn’t work. Eventually had to restart Radio to get these two most recent tiny posts live.
