Mash-up the web
Wednesday, July 27, 2005
While the term mash-up has its roots in hip hop culture, the web mash-up seems a natural evolution of our need to customize and our love of hacks. (See an earlier post on creating “clever solutions to an interesting problem.") In Sampling the Web’s Best Mash-Ups, Business Week provides “a guided tour of the some of the most innovative sites that combine data and features of other sites to make something new.”

Choosing blogging software
Friday, July 22, 2005
A recent article by Susannah Gardner in the USC Annenberg Online Journalism Review titled “Time to Check: Are you using the right blogging tool?" is a great starting point if you’re new to blogs (features, terminology, uses) or looking for a blog software comparison chart.

Six Apart
Tuesday, July 12, 2005
I’ve moved several times in the last nine years - five moves, three states, and two coasts to be exact. Despite these environmental and physical shifts in my life, it’s ironic that it’s the bloggers from the virtual world (kottke, hchamp, joi ito, dooce, caterina, mightygirl, and many others) that have provided a sense of permanence and consistency while my life and surroundings have often changed radically.
After almost ten years of making and remaking my personal site/blog, my company, Ideacodes is now helping design the next generation of blog services and products for Six Apart, world’s leading blog company. Six Apart was co-founded by Mena and Ben Trott, the creators of Movable Type (the software that launched millions of blogs) and then TypePad. Now that I’ve been in SF for a year, my two worlds (virtual and real) are coming together and I couldn’t be more inspired or thrilled.
Sometimes when I talk to people I meet, clients, or the non-addicted, they’ll ask, “what’s the big deal with blogs?” For me, it’s about the power to engage in what I think most people are after - self-expression, empathy, dialogue, multiple perspectives - the same core ideas on which democracy is based. At its most basic, it’s the opportunity to experience other people’s lives in asynchronous “real” time - a daily timeline paralleling your own life. It’s also about the greater act of being both a consumer and a producer of culture. Once you start using your voice, you’ll find you have a lot to say.
