Follow the money. When innovators with a proven track record start investing their own money in open source, it's time to pay attention [InfoWorld: Web Services]
Blogtrolling by Steve Gillmor, where he makes interesting connections, for example between Peter Drayton's recent dream job landing at Microsoft and Mitch Kapor's new Open Source project.
One fun quote, quoting the excellent Frank Zappa:
I say "too often" because those drivers, in and of themselves, can fade with time and wear. Even the other common motivator -- peer recognition -- can dissipate without a coherent foundation of resources. To quote the philosopher Frank Zappa and his Mothers of Invention, "We're only in it for the money."
This directly reminded me Russel Beattie's post from today Link Love Redux.
I'll tell you something, seriously... link love is directly responsible for the interview that I'm going through right now which could potentially triple my current Spanish salary. Upping my Google rank flows to everything on my site, including my projects, photos, and most importantly my resume. That's how they found me. This is ALL good which is why I always appreciate the flow (even with the creative spelling of my first name).
Which all reminds me it's time to stop blogtrolling, linking and procrastinating and go back to work :-)
