No doubt there are more to come. Blogging software is all about ease-of-use, so people often overlook the depth. A product like Radio is also a rich developer platform and content management system. So many people don't know that. More books will help reveal the richness. http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/05/01/ltaHrefquothttpradiofreebl.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/05/01/ltaHrefquothttpradiofreebl.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/05/01/ltaHrefquothttpradiofreebl.html#disqus_thread Thu, 01 May 2003 10:58:19 GMT <a href="http://deanland.weblogs.com/2003/04/30"><img src="http://radio.weblogs.com/0001015/images/2003/05/01/pastrami.gif" width="85" height="64" border="0" align="right" hspace="15" vspace="5" alt="It's corned beef, not pastrami."></a>I've been emailing with Joi Ito, now that he has invested in UserLand-competitor SixApart. He quoted me on his weblog <a href="http://joi.ito.com/archives/2003/05/01/andrew_orlowski_questions_my_objectivity_after_our_investment_in_six_apart.html">saying</a> "He's in the pool," along with UserLand's employees and investors. I find we have common interests. Joi is a good person to have as a competitor. I find that I want to defend him as an honorable person when his integrity is challenged. I hope we work together to elevate the competition in this space. I'm like him, in the pool, but on the side, not in the middle. I have a very substantial interest in the success not just of UserLand, but of the <i>activity</i> of weblogs. I'd like to be in a position to cheer when any of the companies in this space wins. http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/05/01/ltaHrefquothttpdeanlandweb.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/05/01/ltaHrefquothttpdeanlandweb.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/05/01/ltaHrefquothttpdeanlandweb.html#disqus_thread Thu, 01 May 2003 11:00:34 GMT Every day a small number of people keep me from participating on the syndication mail lists through flames. Yesterday one of them said a product I created couldn't do something that it can do. They send private email to friends and people who work with me, and their spouses and significant others. In a sense these people are competitors too, but not the kind you like. I'd like to see people stand up to them when they act publicly so I can work with others using the collaborative tools that are available. http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/05/01/everyDayASmallNumberOfPeop.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/05/01/everyDayASmallNumberOfPeop.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/05/01/everyDayASmallNumberOfPeop.html#disqus_thread Thu, 01 May 2003 11:05:43 GMT <a href="http://scriptingnews.userland.com/backissues/2001/05/01#goodMorningStrategicTaxpayers">Two years ago</a>: "Good morning strategic taxpayers!" http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/05/01/ltaHrefquothttpscriptingne.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/05/01/ltaHrefquothttpscriptingne.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/05/01/ltaHrefquothttpscriptingne.html#disqus_thread Thu, 01 May 2003 10:08:03 GMT <a href="http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2003/04/30/AppleWA">Tim Bray</a>: "XML is like sex, even when it's bad it's still pretty good." <i>It's true it's true.</i> http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/05/01/ltaHrefquothttpwwwtbrayorg.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/05/01/ltaHrefquothttpwwwtbrayorg.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/05/01/ltaHrefquothttpwwwtbrayorg.html#disqus_thread Thu, 01 May 2003 09:58:27 GMT Doc with a <a href="http://doc.weblogs.com/2003/05/01#burnOn">pic of Halley</a>, lookin good. http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/05/01/docWithALtaHrefquothttpdoc.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/05/01/docWithALtaHrefquothttpdoc.html http://www.scripting.com/stories/2003/05/01/docWithALtaHrefquothttpdoc.html#disqus_thread Thu, 01 May 2003 10:21:07 GMT
