Tuesday, January 14, 2003    Harold Gilchrist summarizes where we are - so far Blogging 2G: Does it need a Media Management Gateway? Harold Gilchrist: Blogging 2G: Does it need a Media Management Gateway? [Audioblog/Mobileblogging News] Great summary - starting with Brent, then onto Dave - at which point Jeremy responded, which inspired me to float proposal that got Mitch to chime in too.  Now it's time to get feedback from the community at large. 9:38:02 PM     - Let me hear from you []  the matrix   The Matrix is coming... in May '03 (Reloaded) and then again in Nov. 03 (Revolutions) 2:49:27 PM     - Let me hear from you []  Knowledge Management   Knowledge Publishing Scripting News: What if a university like Harvard, not just a few students, got busy mapping the world of knowledge on the Internet. Each student would take responsibility for some period of time for some aspect of world knowledge. When they graduate they pass it on, or even better, take the responsibility with them, into life. Does any of this make sense? Mapping knowledge is definitely going to be the next big thing. While we are investigating new ways to create contents that are already mapped or that could easily be mapped using smart software and flexible standards, mapping the knowledge already available is going to be a huge challenge. Universities could help, in theory they have a huge concentration of intelligent people who doesn't necessarily have to be paid to do knowledge work. Specialized universities could take the responsibility to manage knowledge mapping of vertical sectors of current knowledge. This will require some new tools/standards to be developed and it's definitely going to be an interesting challenge. [Paolo Valdemarin: Paolo's Weblog] I agree with Paolo. I think Dave has a unique opportunity to take the next big step. Dave + Harvard + Open Standards = Knowledge Publishing 11:06:33 AM     - Let me hear from you []  New kinds of Content | Sony   Open Broadband Media standards supported by Sony Sony and Open Standards for Broadband Media. The Coming Broadband Tsunami Sony Corp.'s chief operating officer Kunitake Ando keynoted the opening of last week's Consumer Electronics Show (one day after Bill Gates), giving some thoughts on the future of broadband, which he warned is a tsunami that could wash the industry away unless they work together on industry-wide open standards. Ando spoke briefly about an advanced Linux platform under development by Sony that will "smash barriers" between industries, technologies and applications. "This wave is coming fast" Ando noted. "As difficult as it may be, we need to collaborate now for our mutual success in order to realize our broadband dreams." [via Broadbandreports]   This interesting note from Broadband Reports suggests that Sony will be releasing a home platform for integrated media and broadband, and that they intend to "smash barriers" by keeping it open.  Is this just rhetoric or is it real? [Jeremy Allaire's Radio] Sony certainly thinks it's real.  They've been talking like this for years. They often come out with EXACTLY the right hardware, but have never displayed any evidence that they have a clue when it comes to software.  Which is too bad.  They've announced several home networking standards, products and future visions and lots of multimedia players, hybrid devices - and even have a cute little robot dog.  They certainly got the vision thing down pat.  But where's the synergy?  How come teh PS2 chipset aren't in a VAIO?  I was on a committee for the Sony Magic project - which became the Sony Metreon (back in 92-93.).  Man oh man, let me tell you...... I've spent years waiting for Sony's promises - completely assuming they were gonna get it together.  I finally gave up. And that was back in 1992!  I sure HOPE they come out with what they say and that they'll support open media standards!  That would be GREAT! Sony sold 6.5M PS2s in December '02 alone. So here's to Sony, Noboyuki Idei and the spirit of Akio Morita! 10:31:59 AM     - Let me hear from you []  AOL | New School Tools   New AOL Broadband service Maybe it'll melt like Greenland. Good news: Maybe AOL won't die instantly. Sez Ted: Despite AOL's missteps, I think the momentum of having however many bazillion subscribers can carry AOL fumbling into the future. [The Doc Searls Weblog] Agreed.  This will be a key time when Ted Leonsis et al get to prove whether they can bring Mohamed to the mountain or will they have to move that mole hill.  with 35M paid subscribers they wrote the book on how to squeeze money from end-users.  Will they just keep upping the ante, providing their customers with more stuff - just to keep them paying $23 a month or will they try and charge MORE $$$ for even BETTER stuff? Ultimately the customers will decide. I bet their email addresses and IM accounts are worth what they're paying today and that there's more 'money in them there hills!  So AOL has a chance to write the book - again - with a BRAND NEW Broadband service - which they can charge incremental dollars for - which - in this year of the Matrix - will take us ALL to a new level of cyberspace. 7:53:44 AM     - Let me hear from you []  blogging | New School Tools   Really excellent resource on Personal Knowledge Publishing Sebastien Paquet: Personal knowledge publishing. [Scripting News] THis is a brilliant breakdown of the elements, resources and trens of what Sebastian calls: "Personal Knowledge Publishing". I really like the way he categorizes the uses of weblogs, as: - Selection of Material - Personal Knowledge Management - Conversation - Social Networking - Information routing Sounds like a nice way to orient a blogging tool environment. He does miss a few things, but I think I'll wait to later - after I've had time to let this gestate. Clearly media - in the guise of audio-blogging and video-blogging - as a verb, and media management - as a noun - is missing. Also any mention of integrated messaging or (what's known as) PIM (like Chandler.) But in general this is really inspiring work. 6:01:43 AM     - Let me hear from you []    Internet Topic Exchange! The Topic Exchange. New and improved. Thought I'd mention something new I've been hacking on for the last few evenings. It's not all done yet, but people are e-mailing me about it so here's a bit of an introduction:     The Internet Topic Exchange It's the first (as far as I know) real-life implementation of Ridiculously Easy Group Forming. Basically, it lets you create sites like KMPings just by filling out a form. Once you've created one, you can send TrackBack pings to it, and see them like so. There's also RSS for the aggregator junkies. With any luck Matt Mower will be supporting it with his LiveTopics tool, so it'll be trivial to use from Radio as well. Any suggestions / feature requests? Comment [Second p0st] Indeed I will be.  I hacked in the basic support for the configuration of this feature last night (since I was working on preferences code anyway).  Adding the ping code as another publishing activity should be trivial. What Phil has done is to implement a very simple, elegant, solution along the path of the BlogPlex idea I've been working towards.  With the Topic Exchange, it will be simple for users to cluster around topics simply by using them. What might be interesting is to combine this with the idea of synonyms (from XFML) so that even when people don't use exactly the same topic name, if they are talking about the same thing, they can still cluster with everyone else! [Curiouser and curiouser!] Announcing the Internet Topic Exchange! This is totaly cool.  We had a server like this on our list of things to do but we decided to start with a 'Free Media Management' system.  This is amazing that Phil created this - this week. It;s sort of like a birthday present to me! We also want to do 'multimedia conversation' servers, 'shared databases of Reviews' and some sort of  '2 way links' registry. So this Intrenet Topic Exchange is something we're DEFINITELY gonna support! Congrats to Phillip Pearson, who is also the guy behind the Blogging Ecosystem (where I'm 169th most linked to blog, and #345 on the list of people who link out.) 4:57:34 AM     - Let me hear from you []    Name change - it's now Free Media Management I suddenly realized that Avid has used the phrase Open Media Management - so we couldn't use the same term. Avid has an Open Media Management 'standard' that they proposed back in 1998.  I'm still researching it - but it's a conflict with this name - so I've renamed the effort we're commencing on the Free Media Management standard - is honor of Richard Stallman. Here's an interesting white paper on open media management - from the big-systems - SAN (Storage Area networks perspective.  Not clear if they're specifically referring to Avid's standard - or not. Apparently Avid's efforts have been productized in their MediaManager product - which is part of the Avid Media Server product.  BTW They also have a product called MediaBrowse.  I just hope they don't go after MediaBar or MediaBand :-) 4:31:40 AM     - Let me hear from you []
