 Baseball or no baseball, we're on for tonight's weblog-writer's meeting at Berkman. We'll talk about webcasting the meetings. And having people other than me moderate. I won't be at the next two meetings, but I want them to happen anyway. Should be interesting.  Mark Bernstein: "The knights of the keyboard were the first bloggers." Jay Rosen: What's Radical About the Weblog Form in Journalism? Emerson scholar Cornel West added to the special Lydon RSS feed with enclosures  In the aggregators session on Day 2 at BloggerCon I promised Jenny Levine that I would write up my plan to empower librarians and scholars to build distributed Yahoo-like directories, with the key ingredient that makes the Web work so well -- competition. The idea is for geeks and librarians to work together, a dream of mine for a long time. As with weblogs and newspapers (see the Markoff interview below) the technology I propose would work equally well for librarians who work at Yahoo, as it would for those who don't. It's a decentralized application of OPML in all its glory. 8/28/01: "I really like making software for librarians." Paul Boutin explains 21st Century Web Directories.  OJR interviews John Markoff from the NY Times. "It sometimes seems we have a world full of bloggers and that blogging is the future of journalism, or at least that's what the bloggers argue, and to my mind, it's not clear yet whether blogging is anything more than CB radio. And, you know, give it five or 10 years and see if any institutions emerge out of it. It's possible that in the end there may be some small subset of people who find a livelihood out of it and that the rest of the people will find that, you know, keeping their diaries online is not the most useful thing to with their time." He's not listening. Ed Cone's mom on Markoff: "He doesn't want to get it." 10/6/03: If The Gray Lady Could Blog. Jeremy Allaire on his $5 million investment in PingID. Rageboy is broke and needs help. I refuse to be angry with O'Reilly. Here's why.  Via Ross Karchner, via Gizmodo, via ThinkSecret comes a rumor of a microphone for recording voice memos and a Flash memory card reader for storing digital photos on Apple's new iPod, to be announced later today. Don Park asks the W3C to define a simple registry-like directory for websites. |
