Looking towards 2006

[TECHNOSIGHT] The biggest lesson I’ve learned from my countless non-geek interactions this year is that we are far from reaching mainstream penetration of Web 2.0 technologies (blogs, RSS, tagging, social bookmarks, wikis, podcasts, etc.). Web 2.0 services are too disconnected, unintuitive, and often are impractical.

Flogging a dead horse - technologies that don’t belong on the web

[Bloggy Hell] There are some technologies that seem to be gaining steam because that is what everyone expected the web to do two years ago. The reason that these technologies will fail is because they are trying to force a paradigm where it doesn’t fit.

The Probabilist Age

tallskinnykiwi.com[tallskinnykiwi.com] Chris Anderson of The Long Tail Blog has a good post on The Probalist Age and the Wikipedia vs Britannica debate. Chris has also found a way to cheat Google - by using unpopular keywords on his ultra-lame Google Ad, he gets thousands of page impressions but because there are no click-throughs, he doesn't have to pay.

What browser are you using Vancouver?

[Metroblogging Vancouver] My standard browser is Apple's Safari and I'd not leave that at all except it doesn't give me the WYSIWYG options for blogging on TypePad, when I do my own personal blog. Firefox does, so I use that for blogging, but Flock should let me blog right from the browser without actually needing to go to the website interface for either TypePad or Moveable Type for this site.

Yahoo! afslutter web2.0 indkøb - med Moveable Type

[Mediehack] Yahoo! har kørt hurtigt med sit Executive American Express Billionaires Card i de seneste måneder: selskabet ruster op over for Google og Microsoft på markedet for kollaborative tjenester - ved at købe fx. del.icious, Flickr og nu indgå partnerskab (forløber for køb) med Six Apart, der står bag blogværktøjet Moveable Type, som mange af mine bekendte sværger til.

March, month of Web Conferences

http://scobleizer.wordpress.com [Scobleizer - Microsoft Geek Blogger] I kept meeting businesspeople who had bet their businesses on Microsoft’s Web technologies. From Reuters to L’Oreal to Heineken to dozens of other CTO’s and CEOs that I met who told me they are using Microsoft technologies and wanted a way to learn only about those (since most of the other events are heavily LAMP-focused).

ASP.Net 2.0 WebParts and Personalisation - trap for newbies

http://www.ims.co.nz/blog [Tim Haines] The trick for newbies is that ASP.Net 2.0 (when installed with Web Developer Express) assumes that you have SQL Server 2005 Express installed on your computer. If you don't then you drop a web part on your page, run your page, then see an error message saying the database couldn't be connected too.

Transcript: John Siegenthaler Discusses Wikipedia on MSNBC

Media Orchard, by the Idea Grove[Media Orchard, by the Idea Grove] As Wikipedia has grown to become one of the most popular reference sites on the Internet -- and as such, perhaps Web 2.0's greatest success story -- a backlash has emerged. This week, USA Today published the story of retired journalist John Siegenthaler Sr., whose Wikipedia biography had falsely called him a suspect in the assassinations of both John Kennedy and Robert Kennedy.
