Getting past Web 1.x 
 Web 2.0, Free Markets and Free Culture begins,
 Martin in mediatope offers a cumulative Web 2.0 definition, which he says is Mainly based on the proto-definition work of richard mcmanus' read/write web, still the most important resource for Web 2.0.
 The rest of the post continues over there (first link, above). It was here, but I wanted to work on it without saving every few minutes directly onto the Web, so I moved it over there, where I'd rather post it anyway.
 This one matters, even (or perhaps especially) if you don't agree. Go read it.
 
Make it a blog, Paul. Or Joe. 
 Paul Graham, who wrote the brilliant Hackers and Painters, and who last year gave a killer talk at OSCon, has a site with an RSS feed. He'll speak on August 2 at the next OSCon, where I'll be starting Tuesday night, and I can't wait to hear what he says next.
 Meanwhile, my feed from his site has all of eleven posts, the most recent dated May 13. The first is titled I'd Love Some Feedback, and it's by Joe Grossberg, who maintains Paul's site. (As a subdirectory of Joe's own? It seems that way from the URL of the feed.)
 Oddly, Joe's site is a blog, while Paul's blog is a site. My recommendation to both is to make Paul's site a blog, and to write stuff in it.
 Maybe Paul isn't the blogging type. But I'm betting he's the emailing type (few of us aren't), and blogging shouldn't be any harder than that. Post a few thoughts to cc:world, Paul. Ain't that hard.
 And it will sell more books. Trust me on that one.
 
Proposed: Gender balance as a cure for icky conference speakage 
 Ben Barren - RSS'ing Down Under, in Lisa, Ponzi, Susan, Danah et. al : BlogHer Conference, writes,
 Females control the world. You run it. You do all the work. We know. We enjoy the return on your endeavours. But I love a kick ass smart women with a sense of humour. So bitchin aside its great to see some proactive gender action. Maybe soon, we could have a conference that has 'affirmative action' with a 50/50 gender split : Possibly at Syndicate in December in SF because I know I'm coming to that. I don't want to sit in a room full of male IT 55 year olds. ick... You know when your pinups (industry, not personal please ') are Dave Winer, Doc Searls and Adam Curry, we need some hot poontang.
