One of the great points which was made tonight at the Harvard session was the value blogging has brought by giving people a reason to write again. Someone pointed out that at the turn of the century that was how people communicated, replaced by the phone in the middle of the century, and now a variety of things. This really hit home with me -- one of the things I most enjoy from blogging is to be able to write and publish. I must say that Dave W has alot of responsibility for this, both from the tools and standards he's helped with, but also as a living example of through Scripting.com . 10:49:35 PM     trackback []

Many thanks to Dave Winer for his session at Harvard tonight. I was amused - it was like a living blog, complete with talkback. The one thing that translates awful to the real world is links ('h' 'h' 't' 'p' 'colon' 'slash'.....). We need to invent a way to exchange links among wired humans in an interactive meeting. Maybe some future version of how you exchange business cards beaming between Palm Pilots or something. 10:44:25 PM     trackback []
