Trust Microsoft with Claimspace (my response pending)- May 24, 2007 Ted Haeger, aka ReverendTed of Bungee Labs (purveyors of the most kill-killski development toolkit for Web 2.0 developers, in the world), just published a thought provoking blog post asking his readers: Can we... Trust Microsoft with Claimspace Ted has personally challenged me to respond and I plan to do so, in the next couple of days. In the meantime, I encourage you to check out Ted's post and weigh in with your thoughts and opinions, either here or there.http://blogs.msdn.com/korbyp/archive/2007/05/23/trust-microsoft-with-claimspace-my-respons... Claimspace: Against a Well-designed Reputation System- May 17, 2007 Clay Shirky recently published a post on Corante, entitled "Against Well-designed Reputation Systems (An Argument for Community Patent)" that I've been meaning to respond to, for awhile. His thesis, which I agree with wholeheartedly if I understand it correctly, can be summed up as 'Don't do it. Don't even think about doing it.' Clay, rather than respond to your post with a post, I will instead respond with a working implementation of an alternative approach to social...http://blogs.msdn.com/korbyp/archive/2007/05/17/claimspace-is-about-recognition-not-reputa...

Bob is possesed by a special kind of genius, with a sort of Jeffersonian breadth and intensity that makes it a pleasure and honor to collaborate with him, on a day-to-day basis. In my opinion, Bob is one of two people on Earth who can talk about the BIG idea that is Claimspace, with absolute confidence, competence, and credibility. If you have even a...http://blogs.msdn.com/korbyp/archive/2007/05/17/claimspace-a-long-tail-recognition-system.... Should "Membership Stores" Be Permitted in Redmond's Manufacturing Park Zone- May 3, 2007 In coordination with Taylor Development, which among other things owns an undeveloped 60 acre parcel of land that is zoned Manufacturing Park (MP) along Union Hill road in Southeast Redmond (see Redmond zoning map here and Live.com Map here), City Staff has presented the Redmond Planning Commission, of which I am a presiding member, with a proposal to expand the list of permitted uses in Redmond's Manufacturing Park (MP) zone to include "WholesaleRetail Membership" stores.

REST2SQL in a Jiffy, with Tagspace for Spice- May 2, 2007 A few months ago, Alex Barnett excitedly told me about a project he was working on with Pablo Castro, of the Microsoft SQL Server team. Like most things brilliant and game-changing, their invention is shockingly simple. As Alex explained it, project codename "Astoria" would enable anyone to expose (and queryupdate) a SQL Server database, in the cloud, via a REST API...yup, simple URLs...over HTTP. "Wait a second. Wait a second. Wait a second," I said, shaking my head and playing for time to...http://blogs.msdn.com/korbyp/archive/2007/05/02/rest2sql-in-a-jiffy-with-tagspace-for-spic... |
