Conversations as Data: We need new UI
Image by monsieurlam via Flickr This is another one of my thinking/blogging out loud posts so your feedback is appreciated and encouraged. I would also like to note that I am not a programmer and I’m sure my description of databases and UI is laughable to anyone that knows what they’re doing but these analogies [...]
What’s your Web Mosaic look like?
As you know I like to “think out loud” here on here on my blog (should I call it “blogging out loud”? hmmm). And lately I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the relationship between people and content and how we think about both our Web presence as well as our content distribution. Warning: [...]
My 3 favorite quotes
I’ve been unusually quiet here on this blog. I’ve been really busy (which is nothing new) and mentally distracted (again nothing new). I’ve been doing a lot of self reflection lately and keep coming back to three of my favorite quotes. I thought I would share them with you. Hopefully you find as much inspiration [...]
Zemanta discovers a content worm-hole via FriendFeed
Yesterday while blogging about how different prosumers consume media I noticed that Zemanta was polling in related article suggestions from FriendFeed. Interestingly enough all the articles were from Steve Rubel, who I was blogging about. So I posted it to FriendFeed. There was some lively speculation about the new feature when Andraz Tori, founder and [...]
Media Consumption: Scoble vs Rubel
I consume, filter and sort a lot of information everyday (this is an understatement) and I don’t even consume as much as some people that I know. If you look at Robert Scoble or Steve Rubel, I pale in comparison. I’ve written before about the need to build the skill of juggling the flow of [...]
Sequoia and Ycombinator team up, but is that a good thing?

The whole investment/accelerator/incubator model is something I would love to see more of (esp here in my home town of Boise) but I have to wonder if YCombinator’s newest deal is a good thing or not. (via TechCrunch) Y Combinator Gets [...]
Microblogging is about to go Supernova
Two new developments this week are the precursors to potentially huge developments. Laconi.ca and Jaiku are two other microblogging platforms. The big difference is that they are both open source. Laconi.ca has always been open source. Jaiku was an early competitor to Twitter which got bought by Google and then promptly shut down. They have [...]
The 2009 Recession Will Produce the Largest Wave of Entrepreneurship
This isn’t a recession, it’s a Revolution! I am proud to say that my generation; Generation X has been the largest entrepreneurial generation ever. That’s all about to change. In preparing for my IgniteBoise presentation my friend Steve Nipper sent this great NYT article over to me: Tired of Looking for Work, Some Create Their [...]

Has Twitter driven Gmail to the #10 spot in Web visitors?
ReadWriteWeb reports that Hitwise reports that Gmail visits have outpaced YouTube Visits I’m pretty sure it’s because so many early adopters are on Twitter and early adopters tend to use Gmail. And I don’t know about you but I’ve been getting 20-30 new Twitter followers a day. Each time I get a new follower, I [...]
