Fun Search app to play with some unique features !

Leaving aside socioeconomic issues that prevent many parts of the world from having access to computers, mobile phones, or broadband, the panacea of an always-connected populace to access with all content, regardless of location, computer or Web browser, is still very far away. Thanks to overzealous individual governments or convoluted legalities that often involve copyright, the Web you see is likely far different from that enjoyed by the country bordering yours. Even in my short visit to the UK this week, I was annoyed to find that some of my data was blocked thanks to my newfound geography.

The phrase "geotardation" is one I often see from my cranky Canadian friend Steven

Occasionally I get an E Mail from  some- one  questioning what I add to my website! If they read my About page it might give them some insight but then they couldn’t rag on me. “ Why do you add so many Google features or how come you feature The Bing Blog and the Lijit Search Box! ”  I  could tell them that Andy Quayle at Tech burgh my web hosting service is a Google Expert and has thru his blog taught me about Google! Lijit is not only a great addition to any website but has the best tech support on the WWW.  The Bing Blog is a great read and also a fun search application!  I use all my blog features period no favorites! My reblogs are done with Zemanta and I add good stuff with Apture

I make every effort to syndicate feeds that are relevant and have education value, I choose to ignore the Gotcha Geeks!

Monday morning stuffff

Monday, September 14, 2009 by Dave Winer.

Chuck Barris used to announce The Gong Show as just some stuffff. 

Of course our stuffff is very serious.  

A new Rebooting The News with guest Dan Gillmor. One of our best. Dan drills into just what rssCloud is and realtime. He's one of the best interviewers out there. It was my turn this week to name inspirations, and I chose Young People, as exemplified by Blake Ross, Joe Hewitt, Matt Mullenweg and Joseph Scott. You can skip to the last five minutes of the podcast, it's worth listening to. Usually we choose older folk as inspiration, but we have to remember that youth, in the right hands, is itself inspiring.  

I posted a proposed addition to the rssCloud walkthrough. 

Typepad announced support for Pubsubhubub. I predict on Twitter that we will bridge it with rssCloud so support of one will get you compatibility with th'other. Earlier I admitted to being a dork and not seeing them as being in competition. After all, they're not commercial products. What I care about is decentralizing the realtime web, so we're not dependent on one company. Both methods accomplish that. The real problem is centralization. 

Andy Oram at O'Reilly wrote a stirring ode to decentralization. At one time O'Reilly was a big proponent of P2P. Maybe they will be once again?

I don't think the analogy of gif and jpeg is accurate. A better comparison would be with HTTP. Imagine if we had two competing standards for HTTP. Would that be a good thing for users?

I totally agree, Dave, as I think you know -- RSSCloud and PubSubHubBub are very complimentary technologies with pretty much the same end goal. Our browsers are better for supporting both .jpg and .gif images, and I think our realtime ecosystem will be better for supporting both of these systems as well. I expect by springtime, there'll be a library for PHP or Python or whatever that abstracts the differences away, anyway.

Excellent review Blackberry

"This is not the end of the newspaper business. It’s not the last chapter; it is merely Chapter 11.” Fred Lebolt, President and Publisher of (and prepare for attribution to an incredibly long title) Sun Times Newspaper Group Suburban News Division and New Media Integration, kicked the Transformation of News Media session off with this rather epic sound bite. Fred was joined on the panel by Mark Marvel (MSNBC), Kinsey Wilson (NPR), Kay Madati (CNN) and moderator David Griesing (The Chicago Tribune). Rather than cranking out a giant post attempting to summarize an incredible panel, I thought I’d share a few more sound bites that caught my attention and captured the key takeaways. Local is incredibly valuable in the new model: “Our ability to share deeply relevant local content and engagement is key…. One of the keys of local content is the database- not merely disseminating the local news but using the apps model and making that content very easy to target and easy for the audience to find.” –Lebolt “Our view is that, in the future, no single or handful of news organizations will dominate the local scene…. It is an advantage that we don’t have a big established legacy in local communities.... We are attacking local as a startup would. Partnerships are important and you have to let those partners stand on their own.” –Marvel on the acquisition of EveryBlock Selling against breaking news is tough but there is a huge opportunity for media companies to serve as creative consultants: “Monetization of breaking news is tough because the advertiser has less control and involvement.” –Marvel “The second Black in America 2 took two years to make. We worked hand in hand with the sales team to create a content exerience that was meaningful to the audience and the advertiser.” -Madati “When I was at USA Today, we had a unit dedicated to it [creative consulting]. We had a person who worked between the sales and editorial group and would work on RFPs to provide creative solutions. We had designers in house.” -Wilson “This isn’t the displacement of the agency. It’s a consultative relationship.” -Lebolt As Kay Madati stated, social media integration can’t just be “about publishing headlines” in new places:
