Canter notes Social Software Alliance formed I have written several posts that really discuss philosphy and the internet.  This alliance seems to be applying philosophy to standards.  Interesting. Weinberger's summary is concise. Peter Kaminski has a good idea: the Social Software Alliance is a place where ideas for standards for "social software" can be proposed, kicked around, whupped into shape and promoted even before they are ready to be submitted somewhere official. Heck, maybe even some people will start adopting worthy ones ad-hockily. There's a wiki set up here. Posted by D. Weinberger at April 17, 2003 10:23 AM | comment [] 9:39:57 AM

I find the possibilities discussed here both interesting and scary.  Reminds me of some totalitarian sci-fi movies I saw painting a picture of a dark, centrally manged future.

This is an excellent piece describing what weblogs are and aren't, as well as the purpose of the Harvard blog project.  Should be required reading for all. DaveNet: Preacher With a Projection Screen. [Scripting News] comment [] 9:31:28 AM
