Will Johnston produces Thinkmedia. I have been involved with technology and product development since 1983 when I bought and started programming my first PC. I was a member of the Apple HyperCard development team, founder of the BuyDirectory (among the first consumer search engines), Sr. Product Manager for PDF at Adobe Systems, Sr. Product Manager for Commerce at Inktomi Corporation and one of the earliest users of the WELL and Usenet.

Thinkmedia provides consulting services for the intersection of technology and business.

"I've always thought that we need to find more and better ways to capture metadata when we communicate. But I've got to admit that the filtering and folders I use in Outlook require more effort than most people will ever be willing to invest. There may yet turn out to be ways to make writing the semantic Web easy and natural. " comment [] 9:49:52 AM    . I'm very interested in the prospect of dynamic and multi-media weblogs. Marc Cantor has been experimenting with multi-media conversations and a couple weblogs are being deployed in Flash, which enables much more dynamic blogging. I would like to believe that we'll see much more promising blogs in these forms in the future. comment [] 9:27:27 AM    .
