Dylan Tweney gets it, big time. Lots of clues in the latest Tweney Report. The subject is personalization. Also cool: Dylan has a weblog, too. Hack the world and the pages will happen: On the Clue Trail at Comdex 99: Day Two. Care about instant messaging? Want to put your fingerprints on the development of an instant messaging system that works for you because it's by you? Check out Jabber. The longer story is here, and it's deep. We got both these items from one of Jabber's involvees, Perry Evans, who is perhaps best known for bringing Mapquest to the world. Doc's first day at Comdex: On the Clue Trail at Comdex 99: Day One. Drinking, kindness and rock & Roll. Check out Chris Locke's latest EGR — Entropy Gradient Reversals. Branding (ouch!) standards (zzz...) and why everyone hates marketing (grrr), among other incendiary observations — all in David Weinberger's latest JOHO (Journal of the Hyperlinked Organization).
Red Herring has hacked Transmeta, the super-silent company that famously employs Linus Torvalds, the alpha author of Linux. Supposedly we'll learn something at Comdex on Monday when Linus Himself will let us in on... whatever. Doc Searls will be there, so look for news from The Front. For his contrarian thoughts about the Silence Issue, read Cheap Talk: Why Open Source and Silence Don't Mix, from the June 1999 issue of Linux Journal.
Deeper conversations — an old friend of Doc's just turned him on to The Leadership Circle, which has on its faculty David Whyte, the poet and writer who is a favorite both of Doc and Rick Levine. David's home page is here. Clues are personal — and Personalization is the new discipline concentrating exclusively on that principle. The Personalization Summit starts on November 15 in San Francisco. As you may know, Chris Locke is the editor of Personalization.com.
