It's a guy thing 
Search wider
| | Technorati has gone live with a raft of improvements that David Sifry explains here. I'm on the company's advisory board, and it's nice to see so many good ideas and suggestions by so many people show up in the (continuously un)finished product. |
Just a rethought
| | I had an idea yesterday during one of the panels at PC Forum. Wouldn't it be cool if, somewhere in a Q&A, a horn would go off signaling participant role reversal? Panelists would leave the stage and stand behind the mikes in the audience, and the people standing behind the mikes would go up on stage and become the new panel. |
| | I'm not thinking about this as a PC Forum thing, but as a new protocol for conferences of all kinds. A way to have fun breaking the mold. |
| | Maybe the WTF? would be a good place to test out the idea. |
Operation Gumwash
| | Long enough have you dreamed contemptible dreams. Now I wash the gum from your eyes. You must habit yourself to the dazzle of the light and of every moment of your life. |
| | In a perfect world — one in which I get to go to every event that interests me — I'd be heading from here at PC Forum to the Internet Commons Congress in Washington. |
| | Well, even if I can't, maybe you can. The price is right ($0) and the cause could hardly be more worthy: saving the Net's global commons from those working to replace it with a supply-controlled industrial plumbing system for "content." The about page explains: |
| | The question of who owns the Internet seems in the same category as who owns the oceans or who owns outer space. Governments or private interests might own individual elements of the Internet, but the power of the Internet comes from collecting these contributions as a unified commons. By definition, the global Internet commons belongs equally to everyone. Each new application of the Internet inevitably gets attacked as trespass against the jurisdiction of some status quo interest, but movement away from equal ownership diminishes the Internet. The Internet Commons Congress provides a venue for users of the commons to educate each other, discuss ways of expanding the reach of the Internet as a commons, and organize resistance to the tendency of public and private interests to assert dominion over the Internet commons. |
| | Something I'd like to see people talk about, if it's possible at all, is success stories at washing the gum from eyes of those who don't get what the Net was built for in the first place. |

I'll try the idea of a reverse panel at my next webcasts and at our RSS Neighborhood event. Scott Young, CEO of Userland will be the speaker. I'll suggest we give it a try.

The idea got some buzz at PC Forum. Maybe we can start a new protocol. :-)
