PDAs Begin Their March Into The Mainstream. Now, the Synchronized Family "The current wave of families keeping group schedules owes much to the growing number of households with PC's and the rise in palmtop usage among mainstream consumers, who often use those devices' scheduling programs. The number of families with at least one PC and one palmtop computer grew from 900,000 in 2000 to 3.6 million this year , according to MetaFacts, a market research firm in San Diego."

Radio Userland 8: "Categorizing the items in your blog, and expressing those categories not only in the rendered HTML, but also ïFD1 crucially ïFD1 as independent outbound RSS feeds.

For me, that last point is huge. Doing this kind of thing manually is something that a few geeks, like me, will undertake. But doing it automatically, as Radio does, makes the technique accessible to lots of people. That, I think, is the key to knowledge networking.

Radio Userland 8: "Content syndication. Radio, like Manila, is a blogger. But I prefer to talk about content syndication because I think when people from outside the blogging world look in, they tend to get confused. In an earlier column on weblogging as a project management tool, I tried to refine an earlier distinction I had made between blogging as a form of entertainment and blogging as a business communication tool. Don't get me wrong, if you're blogging for entertainment, that's great. But my own interest comes from a longstanding urge to marry groupware to knowledge management. And for that purpose, this incarnation of Radio is the best UserLand product yet. That said, entertainment and groupware/KM are far from mutually exclusive. Blogging is fun, and it can also be competitive: Bloggers, like open-source hackers, are motivated by public recognition.

Sailing on a tumultuous sea, UserLand's founder, Dave Winer, has had to tack frequently ïFD1 towards the GUI, then the web; towards the server, then the client. Along the way, certain principles have remained constant: "

Bruce Springsteen: The New York Times A series of interviews with Bruce Springsteen about his upcoming album. Very good use of Flash. Great compliment to the article that is in the Sunday, July 14, 2002 New York Times...

Bruce Springsteen: His Kind of Heroes, His Kind of Songs: " A few days after Sept. 11, Bruce Springsteen was pulling out of a beach parking lot in the Jersey Shore town of Sea Bright when a fan rode by. The man rolled down his window, shouted, "We need you!" and drove on. It was the kind of moment, Mr. Springsteen said, that made his career worthwhile. "That's part of my job," he said. "It's an honor to find that place in the audience's life." "  1:58:40 PM

Word 11, XML, and the universal canvas. I'm in LA at Fusion, a gathering of Microsoft partners and resellers. In this morning's keynote, Jeff Raikes recapitulated his PC Expo talk on Office productivity futures and the Tablet PC. The new part of the talk, which brought me to the edge of my seat, was a preview of a genuinely XML-capable version of Word. By that I mean, and Microsoft seems to mean, not just the ability to export to XML, or to consume SOAP services -- capabilities that are in parts of Office XP today (Excel, Access). More profoundly, it's about a writing environment that natively produces XML which is valid with respect to an arbitrary XML Schema. ... [Jon's Radio]  8:39:41 AM
