Tim Berners-Lee’s intended the web to be writeable by all. Yet, for decades it’s been stuck in a “read mostly” mode. Everyone web surfs, some add content but very few really get to fundamentally re-express and re-structure web content. We know this. We wiki. Problem is, many don’t.
Today marks the launch of the Universal Edit […]
Below is a copy of an email I sent to Wordpress Pro mailing list addressing the dynamic between information stored in a wiki and knowledge spurred on by conversations in a forum. In it I make recommendations as to why and how to link the two assuming that the community won’t shift to a pure […]
I know Charles is really busy, so I’ve set up a wiki for Feedwordpress at http://feedwordpress.pbwiki.com/ ; it would be better if Charles put a wiki for Feedwordpress at radgeek.com, but until he does, at least people who need to use his software can collaborate with one another.
A bit of news - I’ve been asked to be on committee to hold the position of Chair for Demos and Posters at WikiSym 2008 in Portugal this September.
This is great as I’ll not only see breaking ideas as they happen around the world, but also be responsible to evaluate them and help them […]
At PodCamp Toronto yesterday I sat next to someone who tried to comment on my blog. It failed! I’ve fixed it up (it broke after an “upgrade” last year). Please email me if you notice it fail.

Shove over Rogers, Bell and Telus.
I’ve been long griping about the Canadian Telcos and their stupid, exorbitant data rates:
[Canadian oligopolistic Telcos] will only voluntarily drop their prices if they thought that they’d make more money by doing so. Their duty is to please their shareholders, not the public, though they could stand to make much […]
Wordpress 2.0 introduced a mechanism for programmers and plugin authors to schedule programmatic tasks to be run at designated times in the future. Glenn Slaven in his article Timing Is Everything does a great job of describing how this works. (Sadly, Wordpress’s convention is that people write Wordpress documentation to their blogs rather than contributing […]
What is the Future of Work using Enterprise 2.0 technologies?
It’s the wrong vision to take today’s apps from the desktop and put them out to the web. Instead, innovation will be from finding new simple apps that do new, different things.
You have to look at the value proposition: reduce costs, improve productivity. Look back at […]
Looking back on my blog writing tool, I have something like 50 unsent posts, and that’s after I’ve deleted those I’ll never want to share.
Therefore, I’ll pushing for shorter posts, especially when reporting events such as Conferences.
