David Davies: CommentaryThings that occur to me, not necessarily meaningful!(Untitled)- January 20, 2002 Why I think Radio 8 is totally unlike anything else You only have to follow the above link. Radio Userland 8 is a desktop web server and scripting environment. It's also much more than that but that's enough for now. Userland can release a new feature such as a scraper-free email form and provide a link on a public web site such as http:www.scripting.com that links to every user's private desktop web server. That simple action alone is so powerful and so totally unlike anything else that's...http://david.davies.name/weblog/categories/commentary/2002/01/20.html#a106 (Untitled)- January 16, 2002 Getting some interesting responses to the early days of mobile blogging.

What has the last 36 hours shown us Well, for me, it's taken the blog beyond the conventional commentary and narrative and turned it into something more experiential. Sure, with mobile blogging and SMS you're limited in character count so brevity is more important that verbosity (unless you're lucky to have a 3rd gen phone like Al), but it's more immediate, in fact it is immediate.
