Technorati.... ... is so slow, has so many bugs (I mean check out this well titled weblog) and is so unreliable (especially if you're demonstrating to a large group)... I've been getting over the last few months very very frustrated with it but can't really find a simple alternative. What I'm after basically does the same as 'rati without the pain. 11:32:05 AM    comments   trackback

Forum Feeds I'm really enjoying Stephen's DEOS-L & ITFORUM feeds, with the limitation in characters, links to the web-based archive and the benefit of feedreading them rather than through email I'm back on board both lists (although not through email). It's a very interesting and complex switch though in many ways and as a result I reckon there issues and questions are worth considering... Now these have feeds they are eminently bloggable but there's no license (e.g. mine) attached to either. I've reposted content from a list before and had the person who wrote it genuinely contact the list owner to try and get me kicked off and my University to try and get me fired (a bit harsh you might think ;o) There's a problem here as posters to the list might not be delighted if I or others quote repost without asking permission (as is my habit) and naturally I'm very rarely (as I have in the past) going to go to such lengths as to ask for permission. So what to do? How many of the posters are aware of the net archives I wonder? Through these feeds posting to either list has become blogging in many ways and what does this mean for the posters and list management? Something tells me I should be posting this to both lists, however, the very reasons I jumped ship on listservs haven't changed, just made a lot less problematic (and a fair bit of potential added) so I'm not going to. But doesn't this deny the list a whole heap of conversation and deny me an interested audience (perhaps)? Incorporating a trackback-esque tool into the listserv so that participants can keep track of conversations related to their content could be a solution??? This integration of technologies, smartening of conversations and realisation of new possibilities is, I reckon, progress in the most real sense of the word. I'm just a little concerned that it might take some people by surprise and am having fun thinking about the possibilities :o) 11:17:46 AM    comments   trackback

internet or Internet, web or Web Via Kairos comes new of a Wired declaration that it's just the 'internet' now... first thing I did was scoot round the corner and ask an editor (cheers Cahal :o) To cut a long story short if you wanted to be a pedant and argue for the individual Internet or Web or Net (less appropriate for the last two as their essentially abbreviations) then you probably could but in a practical sense it would seem reasonable especially if, as good decentralists, we think that there really isn't such a thing as the 'Internet', just lots of internets which can be broadly defined as the net for the sake of argument. I was a little disappointed with David Crystal's 2001 publication "Language and the Internet" in that it relied so heavily on Wired News' style guide, I wonder how influential it actually is? Oh and I we don't really agree with their argument that these things get capitalized because people find them important. So there! 10:51:08 AM    comments   trackback
