I could monitor the blog, chat session, or video stream. It would be a conference version of TV's picture-in-picture.&quot; Exactly. And let's go further. You wouldn't even need to be at the conference to do all that. Linear thinking asks &quot;Why would anyone want to go to the conference then?&quot; I know because I was pushing two leading conferences in the software industry to open up, just to have real-time weblog-style reports on the conference website so people who weren't attending could know about the new stuff announced at a conference. (My efforts failed, btw.) I believe conference providers could &lt;i&gt;raise the prices&lt;/i&gt; for attending in meatspace, if the public could attend virtually for free. Being there counts for everything. If you're not there, you can't make any news yourself (kind of self-evident). The first conference that fully opened up via the Internet would be historic, and wildly successful, imho." created="Thu, 23 May 2002 00:48:30 GMT"/>

It had been a few years since he had been to Silicon Valley, and was not prepared to see the devastation of the economy here. I live here, and it snuck up on me, although some of the changes were sudden and unmistakeable. Part of me is very glad to see all the For Lease signs on office space. For so many years those buildings were filled with people spending public money on projects that couldn't go anywhere. Now at least there's space available, and presumably people, if and when the lights come on again. I encouraged Jon to write about this. There's space available in DaveNet and Scripting News for ideas and perspectives that get technology flowing to customers." created="Wed, 22 May 2002 15:57:01 GMT"/>

			<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.businessweek.com:/print/technology/content/may2002/tc20020522_5198.htm?mainwindow&quot;&gt;A remarkable article&lt;/a&gt; in BusinessWeek about Mac developers and Apple. A constant theme in the early days of this weblog and my column. And, it's even worse than it appears. Sometimes Apple says it has matched a developer and taken over its market, when it's not even true. Everyone loses, the platform, the developer, and the platform vendor. "/>

			<outline text="The article is also remarkable because it cites Rob McNair-Huff's &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.whiterabbits.com/MacNetJournal/&quot;&gt;weblog&lt;/a&gt;. Nice. One more thing, it's also cool because, according to the article, small commercial developers &lt;i&gt;exist.&lt;/i&gt; This has been a big outage for quite a few years.

			<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://davenet.userland.com/1997/05/22/AChangeWouldDoYouGood&quot;&gt;Five years ago today&lt;/a&gt;: &quot;Microsoft does the developer game absolutely as well as they can, but they should be easy to compete with. Realistic developers understand that Microsoft is a growth machine, so if you're lucky enough to build a bonfire within Microsoft's reach, even a small one, they're going to try to build one of their own, just like yours. They have to do it, it's in their genetics, it's in their business plan.&quot;" created="Wed, 22 May 2002 14:02:48 GMT"/>
			<outline text="Five years ago Microsoft had the best developer program in the business. Today, after a series of utterly stupid gaffes in developer relations, they're losing to Apple, and that's ridiculous, because Apple is everything that a developer company is not. Microsoft fell into the trap of believing it was the whore (quoting &lt;a href=&quot;http://static.userland.com/userLandDiscussArchive/msg008614.html&quot;&gt;JLG&lt;/a&gt;) when the only viable developer strategy for a company as large as MS is to be the flashiest pimp on the block. That Apple can make such serious inroads with developers is testimony to the disarray at Microsoft." created="Wed, 22 May 2002 14:03:29 GMT"/>
			<outline text="How did this happen? First the browser wars, then the Java wars, then the confusion over the .NET strategy, and the icing on the cake -- the antitrust conviction. Of course it's not over until it's over. I ran into David Stutz of Microsoft at the O'Reilly conf and talked with him about this stuff. He said some high-level people at Microsoft are saying what I've been saying. I said let's set up a meeting. There's no time like now to get the developer thing working again." created="Wed, 22 May 2002 14:05:33 GMT"/>
