Jeff's Radio WeblogTuned in and turned on!(Untitled)- March 15, 2005 Denise Howell: We recorded my first IT Conversations show last Wednesday, many thanks again to Cory Doctorow, Robert Scoble, and Marty Schwimmer for sharing their thoughts and insights about Google's AutoLink. I'm hoping the show will be up this week, but Doug Kaye is among the lucky folks attending ETech so we'll have to see if his multitasking abilities are up to the task. (In the meantime, don't miss the recently posted audio of Cory at Web 2.0.) We did come up with a name for the series:...http://radio.weblogs.com/0001018/2005/03/14.html#a2851 (Untitled)- March 15, 2005 Eric Case & Steve Jenson: We just pushed an updated version of Blogger’s Atom API live, and wanted to post about it here to spread the word. Aside from using standard widely-supported technologies like HTTP and XML, we've added a few new things: Basic HTTP authentication over SSL for added security Strong internationalization support Documentation! In addition, we've re-launched the Blogger Developers Network (feed), as well as the moderated, companion...http://radio.weblogs.com/0001018/2005/03/14.html#a2850 (Untitled)- March 14, 2005 Don Park: OPML is a simple, widely used, yet often misunderstood, XML format created by Dave Winer. IMHO, misunderstandings stem from overexposure to traditional ways of using XML. I must admit, I also laughed at OPML when I first looked at it years ago. But when I cocked my head (a technique anyone can learn from their dogs), it began to make a lot of sense. This is what I saw...Don Park’s Daily Habithttp://radio.weblogs.com/0001018/2005/03/14.html#a2849 (Untitled)- March 14, 2005 Matthew Rothenberg: I swear that sometime soon I'm actually going to re-focus my blogging energies on Apple’s wonderful products instead of Apple’s unpleasant legal efforts. I’m still thumb-wrestling rhetorically over the latter&8212;just this morning, I’ve been neglecting my kids to take my own perspective on the road over at Slashdot, where an interesting discussion has cropped up in light of Think Secret’s report that Apple will officially unveil.http://radio.weblogs.com/0001018/2005/03/14.html#a2848 (Untitled)- March 14, 2005 Steve Gillmor: Sean Gallagher may not have coined the term, but his early use of the phrase Blogging for Food to describe my old CRN blog continues to resonate. While most bloggers don't derive direct income from their sites (save for some Google bucks,) they certainly take advantage of viral marketing, brand management, and the virtual equivalent of a pan-handler’s pasteboard sign on 25th and Lincoln...Steve Gillmor’s Blogospherehttp://radio.weblogs.com/0001018/2005/03/14.html#a2847 (Untitled)- March 14, 2005 Rogers Cadenhead: Mark Pilgrim’s half-year search for a hobby that doesn't involve electricity appears to have been as fruitless as O.J. Simpson's hunt for the “real killers.” Pilgrim, who’s being Michael Corleoned back into blogging on IBM’s new PHP weblog, has recently released a script for GreaseMonkey, the Firefox plug-in for editing web content a la autolink. The script removes everything but links on sites published by Robert Scoble. Pilgrim also has released.http://radio.weblogs.com/0001018/2005/03/14.html#a2846 (Untitled)- March 14, 2005 David Sifry: It's been 5 months since my first presentation on the State of the Blogosphere at the Web 2.0 conference, which I later posted in parts. A lot has happened, and its time for an update on what's going on...Sifry's Alertshttp://radio.weblogs.com/0001018/2005/03/14.html#a2845 (Untitled)- March 13, 2005 Aaron Swartz: Today, news organizations across the country have decided to honor a “Sunshine Sunday” by running stories “in support of public access to government information”. The student activist group FreeCulture.org is running a concurrent “Blogshine Sunday” to preserve the rights of all citizens to government information...Aaron Swartz: The Webloghttp://radio.weblogs.com/0001018/2005/03/13.html#a2844 (Untitled)- March 13, 2005 Wes Felter: I have to sort of admire the way Bram Cohen's fame just keeps increasing despite the fact that he totally dodges about half the questions in interviews. This morning he informed us that the media distribution business is just going to go away, then the telcos are going away right after that. Bram is sure that new business models for media will emerge, but he doesn't know or care what they are, since he doesn't watch TV.Hack the Planethttp://radio.weblogs.com/0001018/2005/03/13.html#a2843 (Untitled)- March 13, 2005 Glenn Fleishman: I'm at the South by Southwest interactive conference (SXSWi) and just went to my first session with Bram Cohen, creator of BitTorrent. Unfortunately, Bram has very little joy in his life, as a colleague remarked to me after the session was over. He speaks in an affectless voice, offers terse and often somewhat offensive replies to many questions, and doesn't seem to have much interest in anything but certain aspects of network programming...GlennLoghttp://radio.weblogs.com/0001018/2005/03/13.html#a2842 |
