Good article on Corporate uses for Blogs as E-Newsletters

Howard posted comments to the post I reference previously (plasticbag, below) ,  and I figured there was also a post at Smart Mobs,  and of course,  there was.  Rheingold wrote what is a “classic” for many interested in things like “Social Software”, and got many people interested in it and working on it in the first place (The Virtual Community).  (I speak Continue Reading

plasticbag.org | weblog | My working definition of social software… I had seen this and followed some of the links,  without being aware that this “field”,  although not in and of itself new,  was being described with this new, in the process of being defined,  teminology.  (With Comments by a couple other people in my Blogroll,  Howard Rheingold (Smart Mobs Continue Reading

On the previous blog I reported as “newly discovered from my referrer logs”,  I found a reference to Technorati.  I’ve been there numerous times,  I think usually because I see things from there in my refererrer logs.  Well, I just plugged in my URL there and found a few more people who link to me,  like this GoodDogBadDog referenced here.

Here’s a weblog I just ran across: Rodent Regatta in my Referrer list,  and so ,  as I usually do when I see a new or different listing there,  I navigate to it to see what they’ve said and why they’ve linked to me.  They’re talking about a new News Aggregator to use after making a move to Movable Type Continue Reading

from The Obvious Blog This sequence was somewhat flattering to me (at least I think it may be flattering): Where has God gone? Interesting article from The Philospher’s Magazine Online: Perhaps the reason why “God” is rarely an explicit topic of philosophical debate at present is not that God is obsolete, but that the idea is under reconstruction, and its Continue Reading

I just did my first “Trackback” (a ping of two sites to which I refer in the previous blog about the discussions led by Weinberger and AKMA yesterday at Vanderbilt). I got errors when I did it, but then when I went and looked at their sites, the trackbacks were there. Cool.

Dave Weinberger and AKMA at Vanderbilt Yesterday (click on it to see a bigger one, in my Radio blog, in another window) It was a really fun thing to hear the dialogue, and hear from David and AKMA. After “canoeing” my way downtown amidst all the totrrential downpour, I listened and , in the afternoon session, contributed a bit to Continue Reading

Weinberger and AKMA at Vanderbilt tomorrow (I’m there , man) speaking on Internet and Weblogs in education. Cool! The seminar descriptions: The Internet has already made a significant impact on the practice of teaching in higher education, and teachers and students continue to develop and discover new ways to use it. A panel anchored by two David Weinberger (co-author of Continue Reading

Part of the “downer” of today (written Sunday May 4, 2003) and of late is the computer stuff of mine that’s breaking pre-maturely. First, about a month ago, my Canon N1220U scanner (the real skinny kind, the $200 model — at least it was when I got it for Christmas in December 2000). It just stopped, and never woke up. Continue Reading

I noticed that Doc and Dave Winer have mentioned my Cluetrain writings this morning. And , being Sunday morning, and I’m sitting home from Church again, blogging instead of doing the normal Sunday thing (the latter of which most often gets me thinking, interacting, and being myself), I guess it all fits. The Church has , with few exceptions, lost Continue Reading

I am having a reallyhard time with Radio Userland, and am determined to get my stuff the hell out of there and get onto another system. I really like Radio’s rendering of static html pages (keeps Server database calls down), but so many things keep breaking that I may well lose the whole shootin’ match someday. Right now, Radio won’t Continue Reading

Cluetrain Rantings about the lessons of Theses Number 7: Hyperlinks subvert Heirarchy

Another Cluetrain theses under the theological microscope in Hyperlinks Subvert Heirarchy

I have just added the two most recent “Stories” from my Radio blog to this MT blog. I realized this will take me FOREVER at this pace. I also have the problem of the Dates…I want to preserve the original entry date. There must be SOMETHING I can do to import these things. I have a MT “category” called “Stories” Continue Reading
