Blogs

SupportSoft: another company from Demo 2003.

Eka Systems: an interesting looking company at Demo 2003.

I want the same feature that Kevin Werbach does.

Jon Udell reviews XDocs. Any software author would like this review of their software!

One of the great points which was made tonight at the Harvard session was the value blogging has brought by giving people a reason to write again. Someone pointed out that at the turn of the century that was how people communicated, replaced by the phone in the middle of the century, and now a variety of things. This really hit home with me – one of the things I most enjoy from blogging is to be able to write and publish.

Many thanks to Dave Winer for his session at Harvard tonight. I was amused - it was like a living blog, complete with talkback. The one thing that translates awful to the real world is links (‘h’ ‘h’ ‘t’ ‘p’ ‘colon’ ‘slash’…..). We need to invent a way to exchange links among wired humans in an interactive meeting. Maybe some future version of how you exchange business cards beaming between Palm Pilots or something.

Business Weeek talks about Apples Rendezvous. They’ve done a great job with some open standards (I was working with some of these when at Sun).

Interesting visualization tools in Jon Udell: BuddySpace. Might make some good sense for dealing with sources of telemetry data as well as people data.

Software on mapping blog relationships in Fast Takes.

HomeStarRunner: very, very random. Will have to try with the kids.
