Spanish version of the post: 2003: The year of the blog prefix Predicciones 2003: el boom de los prefijos para blogs Jose Luis Orihuela -> Spanish version of the post 2003: The year of the blog prefix: http://orihuela.blogspot.com/2003_01_01_orihuela_archive.html#90141942 (with some references and examples of your trends)   Thanks Jose   4:01:47 PM  comment []       Marc's Voice -> New kinds of Shows....... Sometimes I'm fascinated. Sometimes I'm fascinated by this idea of "posting" things to a "web site." Mostly, when I've been drinking. But it's still weird. Don't you think? [evhead] I always think of it as it will soon be.  We're creating personalized TV shows.  Talk shows, game shows, Count-down (Adam Curry) Top 10 shows, shopping channels, roundtable discussion shows, kids educational stuff, etc.  But we don't have true broadband yet, certainly we don't have symetrical access, so we'll have to wait. But one thing that's gonna be cool - our shows can be inter-connected together, forming new kinds of 'on-line communities'. Hopefully by then, we'll have the right tools in place to facilitate all these dreams. [Marc's Voice]   3:15:07 PM  comment []       The disruptive Web Jon's Radio -> The disruptive Web. If you're creating a Web service that you hope will have a disruptive impact, the lessons are clear. Support HTTP GET-style URLs. Design them carefully, matching de facto standards where they exist. Keep the URLs short, so people can easily understand, modify, and trade them. Establish a blog reputation. Use the blog network to promote the service and enable users of the service to self-organize. It all adds up to a recipe for recombinant growth. [Full story at InfoWorld.com] ...

As well as covering my attempts to use mobile blogging as a creative-writing tool, it will also look at new developments in the area of mobile, audio and video blogging. "I'm getting interested in the possibilities opening up for audio / video / mobile blogging etc. This weblog will be covering some of these areas as well as being simply a mobile input itself." Welcome 9:45:45 AM  comment []       Request for image uploading API inessential.com -> Image uploading. An extension to the various weblog APIs that I’d love to see would be easy image uploading. Not just images, but movies, Flash files, etc. I get lots of requests for that as a feature to add to NetNewsWire. Unfortunately there isn’t a common API similar to the MetaWeblog API for uploading media files to weblogs. But hey, listen—webloggers (at least some of them) really want this. [inessential.com] My comment:  Harold Gilchrist: Hi Brent, > An extension to the various weblog APIs that I’d love to see would > be easy image uploading. > Not just images, but movies, Flash files, etc. Presently this maybe a classic chicken and the egg problem. I think the reason you haven't seen this yet is because the blogging community hasn't finished figuring out "yet" an economical way to deal with the extra storage and bandwidth issues and is still addressing the important technical issues associated with these file types. But as you know many are working on it. ie. Adam Curry -> "bittorrent or bust-mpeg no goodwith Bit" -> http://live.curry.com/2003/01/04.html#a2857 Imagine what would happen today if the home made video you made in your garage was posted on your public weblog got your meme got slash dotted. I'm looking forward to this year being the year the multimedia-media interested blogging community does a lot of experimentation in this area and moves this area forward. 8:59:37 AM  comment []       BitTorrent   Deadly Bloody Serious -> BitTorrent I'm trying out BitTorrent, and so far I'm thoroughly impressed. I'm downloading two pretty large file groups (you can download a set of files with a single action), and my download rates and upload rates are good. The first Adams Family episode is coming down at 7-20KB/s, and I'm uploading at 2KB/s to someone out there.  If we can get this going for RSS subscriptions, it's going to rock hard. Even if we only get it working for enclosures, it's going to be a life-saver for audiobloggers on a budget.

Back in 1998, the phone companies decided to pool their resources on a wannabe smartphone OS from PDA-pioneer Psion Computer. The formation of Symbian caused Bill Gates much agitation [as these now-legendary memos show] ,but it's to his credit that he identified the company as Microsoft's No.1 enemy. In this case, at least, Microsoft's paranoia was fully justified. [The Register] 8:34:44 AM  comment []       Blogging: Voice and format make a new what? RatcliffeBlog: Business, Technology & Investing -> Blogging: Voice and format make a new what? -> Joi Ito, Cory Doctorow, Marc Canter, Halley Suitt and Elizabeth Lane Lawley are discussing Blog Style. It's striking to me how this thread sounds like the debate around the table at growing magazine, one that just found its voice and is seeing subscriptions spike based on its first great issues. Cory's style points are good editorial design rules for any magazine. Joi, Liz and Halley sound like the writers who have captured attention doing something they love and now wonder if they can do it every day for the sake of the editorial style under discussion. Marc's the editorial director who thought up the package ("Bloggered: The things the matter"). We're really at the beginning of something big, but it's not a new medium as much as one of format for paper publication that captured both the creative world and the audiences' attention. It's like being the first to realize that a tabloid size publication is easier to read and ideal for quick, entertaining stories that can be consumed on the trolley. Because "blog" is simply a format and voices are emerging through it. We'll add to the format, like adding color to a paper, and go from here. Where we go from here is anybody's guess, but we all know that some of us have to decide to go together to make a collective impact big enough to leave a mark. This year, bloggers will begin to organize into some kinds of networks that provide an economic return, because the audiences are coming.
