Must be the warmth of the holiday season got all over our favorite raver.I notice The Sage One is quoting some good marketing advice from Chris Willis of Hypergene Media Blog: ''On the web you don’t control your message, but you’re welcome participate in the conversation you’ve started.'' Took the words right outta my cakehole.But while we're at it, let's tip our hats to a few of the spot-on theses from every teenager's favorite Manifesto (sung to the tune of "We are the Champions" by Queen -- you can sing along when we get to: "We are the markets, my friends..."), which gave us permission to be sassy in the first place:#62 - Markets do not want to talk to flacks and hucksters. They want to participate in the conversations going on behind the corporate firewall.#63 - De-cloaking, getting personal: We are those markets. We want to talk to you.#84 - We know some people from your company. They're pretty cool online. Do you have any more like that you're hiding? Can they come out and play?#85 - When we have questions we turn to each other for answers. If you didn't have such a tight rein on "your people" maybe they'd be among the people we'd turn to.

Cybersome Blog Megite Technology News: What's Happening Right Now 东拉西扯：Netscape拷贝Digg 正在测试中的Netscape新首页，完全放弃了过去的门户模式，转而采用用户提交内容，用户投票的Digg模式。我访问这个测试页面的时候，高居首位的是&ldquo;AOL Copies Digg&rdquo;，这篇文章获得了249个投票，107个评论，被添加的tags是&ldquo;evil, aol, digg&rdquo;。 Netscape曾经是Web时代最早的宠儿，可惜Marc Andreessen的观念并没跟上Web时代，他当年还是把卖软件当成了Netscape的主业。在《搜》这本书中，John Battelle甚至认为，Netscape把本应属于它的成功，拱手让给了Yahoo!。Netscape曾经凭借浏览器的优势，为Yahoo!带去了大量的用户和流量，等到Netscape回过味来，自己着手建立门户的时候，Yahoo!的地位已经不可撼动。Netscape错失了最佳时机，再加上浏览器市场的失利，最后不得不卖给了AOL，从此一蹶不振。 Digg最近一年的迅速崛起，令很多人始料未及，Digg模式迅速被大量复制。现在没人可以断言，Netscape这次的抉择是否正确，不过很明显，互联网内容提供正在分化成三种主要模式。门户编辑模式目前仍然吸引着大量的访问者，基于算法的非人工的机器新闻模式仍然不温不火，借力集体智慧的Digg模式正在高速增长。这三种模式的代表性网站，应该分别是新浪、Google Newså’ŒDigg。 怎样决定一篇文章的重要性，三种模式有着截然不同的处理方法。编辑模式由内容编辑根据自身的经验做判断，一个有经验的编辑的选择要远远好于一个缺乏经验的编辑；机器新闻模式依靠综合各种因素的算法，如文章被转载的数量以及文章在网站中出现的位置等；Digg模式则完全依靠用户的投票。Techmemeå’ŒMegite，大致也可归入第二种模式，只不过在第一消息源的选择上，它们更注重&ldquo;权威&rdquo;来源，以及与&ldquo;权威&rdquo;来源相链接的其他来源。 Netscape的决定，可以看作是从第一种模式向第三种模式转变。尽管Netscape已经是没落贵族，但这一举动肯定会为Digg模式再添一把柴。Digg模式会不会导致&ldquo;多数人暴政&rdquo;？可能会，就像我们无法避免单个编辑的偏见一样，我们也同样无法避免&ldquo;集体无意识&rdquo;。 国内也有不少的网站采用了Digg模式，不过在我所了解的范围内，最有味道的当属板儿砖。在拍与被拍之间，逐渐形成了自己的圈子文化。 Throw Away Your SIM Card - VOIP On Steroids From Fring This is a pretty amazing product demo of a VOIP product for your mobile phone called Fring (I’m going to assume is being done by people at Fring).

Intelligent Teams/OPML Workstation is an OPML site that is optimized for embedding short video and other widget-based media. The future of the web is clearly in short video. Video is the new web design medium. The future of OPML = the carrier for video. OPML is the open, public format for video websites and for videocasting. For example, here is a simple but effective combination of OPML and video in a small video website. Consider the following: I. Why is video the future? 1. Video is catchy, viral, and conveys emotion more effectively than all but the most well-crafted text. Small videos are viewable on cell phones, iPods and other media players, and PDAs--as well, of course, as on PCs. 2. Video is accessible. Users can view videos more easily than they can read. Nuff said. 3. Video is easy to make. I make mine on an old Cannon Elph still camera, using its &#8220;movie&#8221; feature. New still cameras make mpg4 videos, of up to two hours in length, on one 2gig flash card. Panasonic and Sharp both do HDTV-like aspect ratios, look-and-feel. 4. Video hosting and serving/bandwidth is free at YouTube and a bunch of other sites. 5. The &#8220;video layer&#8221; of the web is developing fast. Most of the buzz is now about videos. Not audio, and certainly not about text. II. Why do we need an XML-based carrier for video? Discrete videos strewn across the web are more like raw material than like actual destinations or programmed experiences. The same was true of mp3 audio files prior to the invention of podcasting. Podcasting provided context--lists, directories, subscriptions. Podcasting provide the ability of individuals to make their own customer context--playlists, personal directories, and subscription lists. Podcasting provided ways for users to share these lists. III. What happened to open audio, open music, and open podcasts? Audio does not have an established open XML-based carrier standard. Community innnovation has been thwarted in the audio and thus the podcasting world by Apple. Apple adopted a non-standard, closed format for the XML meta-data layer that organizes its library of songs and podcasts and feeds its menu systems. Apple could have used OPML or some other open standard, but did not. Apple&#8217;s underlying music files are in a proprietary format, they are covered by a DRM, and the files themselves can only be accessed by way of a downloaded special software client. The files cannot be accessed by a browser on the open web. It is thus very difficult to create independent web sites that incorporate Apple-controlled content. If Apple made music and podcasts available openly on the web, things would be different. The good news, as we will explore in more detail later, is that user-generated video is already evolving in a different, more open manner. As a community we should jump on this opportunity. Part of this is due to open design choices made by the video hosting sites. YouTube, Google Video and other popular video sites make their files available for direct, unmediated web access, with no DRM. By contrast, a closed trend is solidifying as downloaded music, podcasting and mobile phones converge. Phone companies seem intent on adopting closed systems for cataloguing, conveying/distributing, and selecting songs. IV. Why did the blogroll, RSS subscription list, reading list ecosystem evolve in a more open manner? Community innovation in the parallel world of text-oriented RSS &#8220;reading lists&#8221; has been much better supported, because vendors have more or less standardized on OPML as a way to share sources and lists among 1. Blog aggregators like Bloglines, Newsgator, and Attensa; 2. Feed proxy services like Feedburner; 3. OPML authoring and hosting services including web-based Intelligent Teams, and client-based authoring by Dave Winer&#8217;s OPML Editor and Pito Sala&#8217;s Blogbridge; 4. Search services like OPML Search; 5. Source-popularity and sharing services like Bloglines&#8217; Most Popular Feeds and Bloglines Share, and Share Your OPML; 6. List-based dynamic-content analysis services like Megite and TopTenSources; 7. Social bookmark services like Stylefeeder that create OPML lists (TopTenSources provides the most powerful bookmarking and sampling technology I have seen, including one-click aquisition of YouTube videos, in a free tool you can get by signing up to create a TopTenSources topic or page.); 8. Community production, editorial, directoy and membership sites such as Intelligent Teams, TopTenSources and Lisa William&#8217;s Placeblogger, as well as more focused yet massive directories created at such sites, such as the by-now-famous James Corbett Open Irish Directory and the cryptic but fascinating &#8220;pro&#8221; sites of Biotic; 9. Feedlist display sites such as the AJAX-rich Grazr, Intelligent Teams&#8216; &#8220;browse&#8221; services and widget maker. 10. Outline-based blogs, either using OPML backends or adopting OPML-like outline conventions. See an example of an &#8220;almost outline blog&#8221; here, where a reading list, by the addition of commentary and other forms of references, is fast evolving into a powerful, directory-enhanced, visually-appealing site. A thoughtful discussion of this issue, at this point in time, is available here by John T. of Library Clips. 11. Outline-based web sites and public directories. 12. OPML power-users and pioneers, such as Harvard&#8217;s John Palfrey and Library Clips&#8217; John Tropea (also mentioned in the next section, because John is the author of this well-regarded commentary.). 13. OPML industry commentary services such as Library Clips, and enterprise 2.0 commenters like Charlie Wood who get OPML. The good news is that in the case of user-created text, OPML--an open, stable, XML-based standard--is succeeding at enabling an ecosystem of creative people, products and companies to work more or less together, to interoperate, to exchange, and to co-evolve. The bad news is that the world of text and reading lists is pretty small. To say it perhaps too bluntly, only a small percentage of web users prefer to read. Probably no more than a few tens of thousands of participants are engaged in reading RSS sources to the extent that they value a reading list. Compare this to the millions of participants in the iPod/iTunes universe who value and regularly use audio playlists. V. How does video provide a new field of action? Video provides a new opportunity to combine openness with richness, reach, beauty and immediate emotional impact Videocasting already is huge, supported by channels and subscription services on YouTube. Open, XML and OPML-guided videocasting can also be huge. Its advantages are that the creator of a videocast can be in control of the context in which his or her videos are seen. YouTube is well-engineered, but almost any web designer can make a better surround for a particular set of videos and a particular audience. Videocasting, using OPML, can provide a way for designers to create rich surrounds and contexts. They can do so quickly, as prototypes or as permanent installations. At this historical moment, the world of video is quite open to the development of a community-based third-party, independent directories. The content on YouTube and other video sites is diverse. The videos available range from investment analysis and business presentations to the classic, cat-on-a-toilet offerings. Budding acting troops have serialized shows. Rap and rock videos abound. YouTube is about as open as the web. Contrast this to iTunes, where formal catagories and commercial offerings dominate. VI. A simple call-to-arms Take advantage of the simple-yet-power OPML tools available today. Create contexts for videos. Video viewing lists. Start by making lists and blogrolls of favorite videos on YouTube or similar site. This method is fast, simple, and provides some degree of context. Multi-media-based OPML web sites. But once you are going, you can do so much more! Use OPML frames to combine forms of media--images, audio and video--on sites you can create in an evening. For fun check out http://www.davemoore.info. I made a video site for my brother Dave while recovering in Iowa from back surgery (&#8221;no heavy lifting, all indoor work&#8221;). The original site is at http://intelligentteams.com/browse/aboutdavemoore. Then at Dave&#8217;s suggestion we bought the domain name for &#8220;davemoore.info&#8221; for $1.99. Best deal of the year. So visit Dave! (Family summary: Dave and I and our third brother Charles grew up in Iowa. Dave went south, and then further south, and eventually planted his deep roots in Iowa City, from which he continues to range widely. Charles ranged widely as a quarter-horse trainer and outdoorsman, settling in Wyoming, by way of most of the states of the American southwest. Our mom passed away in &#8216;94. Our dad is lively and creative and living in Iowa.) VII. How can we seize the moment? 1. Put anything you like up on one of the video hosting sites such as YouTube. Put up political video, home and family, professional, music and entertainment, comedy, technology, space travel--you name it. The new video platforms exist for you! 2. Create distinct, personal web micro sites that reference those videos and other offerings. Here is a brief &#8220;how-to&#8221; to help you create rich web pages in OPML: a. Open an OPML outline in one of the many OPML writer/host suites, such as Intelligent Teams. b. This outline, when displayed in the &#8220;browse&#8221; function on your OPML host site such as Intelligent Teams, or when displayed in an independent AJAX OPML viewer like Grazr, becomes an outline-oriented web site. Each node in the OPML file is now a page on your new site. c. Each of these OPML nodes can now be treated as a distinct page that can function as a mini-site. Each page can be developed using plaintext, HTML, and scripts--if your OPML writer allows them (see item f, below). d. How do you do this? You simply write your desired web page code into the &#8220;text&#8221; field in any of the OPML nodes. This works because when OPML files are read by OPML software, the &#8220;text&#8221; field is not parsed as XML, but rather is preserved whole and passed through to the user&#8217;s Firefox, Explorer or other webbrowser to be interpreted and displayed at the time it is loaded. Thus material written into the &#8220;text&#8221; field does not need to conform to XML rules. Anything that the final, end-user browser can interpret can be included effectively. This means that each node&#8217;s &#8220;text&#8221; field can be used as a defacto iframe-like capability, into which one can encode rich web page material. e. To include YouTube or Google video in your pages, simply copy the &#8220;embed code&#8221; provided by the hosting site into the &#8220;text&#8221; field of a node. The result is that a video player--typically Flash-Shockwave, for example--and an associated video are coded into the outline page and displayed when that page is subsequently viewed by an audience member/visitor to the page. f. Use script-friendly OPML tools. In order for this use of OPML to be effective, your OPML file must viewed in an OPML displayer that allows scripts to be executed by the end-user browser. Some OPML displayers and many blogging software services remove scripts. For example, the WordPress version on which this post is being constructed blocks scripts, which is why there is no video in this post. Intelligent Teams is an example of an environment that allows scripts in its writer as well as in its viewer. Thus it can handle not only video, but most widgets, as well. 3. Add display customization and personalization including text and skins that display those videos in a context of your design. Now you are free! Your materials are no longer enslaved to the look and feel of YouTube, flicker, or any other site. Now your materials enhance your minisite and your brand and image, not simply that of the file hosting platform. 4. Because you have used OPML you now have a portable web site design, viewable in Grazr, OPML Workstation, or any one of a host of other viewers. When you use OPML you gain portability and transformability. Indeed, you will be able to view your design simultaneously, without altering its core code, in widgets, gadgets, mini-sites, aggregators and so on. No need to choose just one. See John Palfrey on OPML for Teachers, in a widget-maker, for example. VIII. What is the key transformation we are making in web site architecture? We are making web sites that take as a given, and as raw material, a rich understory of graphics, text, music and audio, and especially video. Web sites reference this material, organize it, shape its presentation, and guide the experience of each audience member. From a technical standpoint, the new web is characterised by write once in a display and directory language like OPML, reference many (videos, audios, data sources), and display broadly and prolifically, everywhere. Write once, reference many, display everywhere! Know Who is Your King in Blogging? Discovering the True Wealth In Blogging - Part 4b. Part 4b is coming… Have you read the previous post?

Popular Science Magazines For some people, fashion and gossip magazines are a guilty indulgence. For me, it&#8217;s science magazines.* The two I read regularly are Scientific American and New Scientist. And occasionally, I&#8217;ll pick up a copy of National Geographic or Discover. My favorite place to read science magazines is in the coffee shop on my twice weekly morning errand runs. Each magazine doesn&#8217;t take me more than an hour or so to read because the news section at the front is filled with stuff I&#8217;ve already read about on my daily sweep through science blogs, Google News, MedPage Today, Megite, and PLoS RSS feeds. What I think magazines do better than these sources are in-depth features and interviews together with stunning photojournalism, such as National Geographic&#8217;s recent feature on the heart. What got me started thinking about science magazines? I had the good fortune today to meet Damian Carrington and Matt Sparkes of New Scientist. Damian is the New Scientist Online Editor and Matt is a Web Executive. Two great people with loads of ideas about science communication. During our conversation, I think we all agreed that readers should be given the opportunity to be more involved. Instead of the traditional unidirectional way of delivering science to a select group of very interested people, opening up the dialogue might foster a greater interest in science from a wider variety of people. For instance, some might be interested in learning more, but have never had the chance to ask for clarification. In a forum or blog, they could ask questions as well as formulate and express their own opinions. A science publication would be well-positioned as a hub or online pub (yes, I am in England). It&#8217;s a perfect win-win situation. By fostering participation, science magazines would get more readers and more readers would get in touch with their inner science geeks. And who wouldn&#8217;t want to be a science geek? What are your favorite popular science magazines? What do you think about the way science is communicated? *So I&#8217;m a nerd. Sue me.

Nuova versione per il memetracker Tailrank possibilità al momento è l'utilizzo di Megite, anche se i suoi risultati mi sembrano ancora insoddisfacenti. Qualcuno si propone per realizzare un memetracker Tailrank e Megite lanciano i video memetracker Con un tempismo sorprendente sia Megite che Tailrank, due memetracker molto interessanti hanno lanciato una propria sezione dedicata ai video, attualmente l'argomento più popolare sulla rete. Megite Video, accessibile dal primo link nella sidebar, mostra un elenco dei video più popolari: in una finestra popup, quindi senza refresh, potrete consultare l'elenco dei blogger che hanno segnalato il video nel proprio blog e ciò che hanno scritto in merito.I video, ricercati in "centinaia di migliaia" di blog sono tratti da una ventina di servizi di sharing video tra cui YouTube, Google Video, MySpace, Daily Motion, Metacafe, Ifilm, Vimeo, Break, Revver, Grouper, Bolt, Yoqoo, 6Rooms. Tailrank ha invece inserito la sezione video nel suo menù a tab: secondo quanto scritto sul loro blog, Tailrank Video è una versione pubblica mentre il videotracker di Megite è ancora una versione alpha.Con Tailrank è possibile tenere traccia del thread riferito al video, così come funziona per le notizie nel memetracker. A prima vista i risultati dei due servizi sono molto diversi: attualmente Tailrank mostra in homepage un numero maggiore di video, ma per visionare quali utenti hanno parlato del video è necessario selezionare il video e caricare un'altra pagina.Grande limite di entrambi è però il piccolo numero di blog indicizzati, rispetto ad una blogosfera mondiale in cui i video virali seguono spesso percorsi sotterranei. Grazie a Tailrank ho trovato questo video di auguri natalizi da Six Apart, intitolato "Blogs by phone". Megite and Tailrank make it easier to find popular videos Filed under: Internet, Video, News, Web services Ever spend hours looking through YouTube videos only to find out that there's a famous clip of Mentos and Coke being played on CNN that you missed? Well, I don't know if that's the problem these new sites are set to fix, but there's a new crop of services designed to help you find popular videos.Megite and Tailrank are sites that track popular news stories based on how they are linked to in other blogs. This week both sites added video tracking, which determines how popular online videos are based on how often they are linked to or embedded in other sites.NewTeeVee writes that Megite has a prerelease version of their video tracking service, while Tailrank 2.1 with a "Video Memetracker" was released on Tuesday.Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments Follow the leader, leader, leader… online conversaties registreert a la Techmeme of Megite) die het niet gooit op verhalen maar op de personen achter de verhalen. Getting By With a Little Help From Your Friends…. another that I didn’t see mentioned was Megite. You’ll see in the right sidebar they have a “My Megite” which appears to work like TechMeme Video Ranking Update - Megite seems to be back now. I note that they have a single Google video (the top one). All the others appear to be YouTube. Over on BlogPulse, there are 21 out of the top 40 which are not YouTube, so I'd guess that both TailRank and Megite are missing a major swath of content. TechCrunch talks about the launch of video ranking today on both TailRank and Megite. TailRank offers a list of videos with the players embedded in the page for easy viewing. I can't comment on Megite just now as the home page doesn't appear to be up. It is interesting to note a description on TechCrunch's page regarding these memetrackers:TailRank is analyzing videos that blogs link to and embed on their sites, and then determine what videos are popular based on the aggregate weighted statistics. Bigger blogs get more weight, but smaller blogs get a vote, too.This seems to contradict the spirit of TailRank - at least as far as the name goes - which ought to be telling us how the tail ranks content. If it is weighting 'bigger' blogs more than others, then it just following in the footsteps of TechMeme which crawls a relatively short list of blogs (TailRank crawls 100k). Perhaps Kevin could comment? One of the problems with the current set of memetrackers is their inability to cluster items, be they videos or other, around topics. TailRank right now has 5 videos about James Brown - why not cluster these? In addition, all the videos appear to be from YouTube - at BlogPulse, we cover many video hosting systems (too many for me to remember). I'm also going to point out that BlogPulse (which TechCrunch doesn't cover) silently launched video ranking a while back. I think that 2007 is going to be an interesting year for this space. Memetrackers intend to support a simple need - to get a quick view/fix of what is being talked about online. Due to their inherent simplicity, it is hard for them to compete on features as feature bloat will work against the limited time that people have to view them. This might suggest that personalization is the way to go (which TailRank is probably leading in). I also think that there needs to be some differentiation between ranking what the head of the blogosphere (topical blogs) is talking about and what the diary/journal blogosphere (all those LiveJournal and other mass hosting systems and social network sites) is talking about. ClickMeme Wouldn't it be interesting if TechMeme (et al), TailRank, Megite, etc. added click-through information to their displays? Has Feedburner Snubbed Megite? In the battle for news aggregator supremacy, Megite made a respectable name for itself alongside the current champion (in my mind), Techmeme, as an aggregator to contend with. I use it from time to time myself, as there are news tidbits that aren&#8217;t readily found in many other places. Kudos to Matt Chen and his crew for rolling out the service. In spite of its growing popularity, however, it looks like Feedburner is no fan of Megite. I just got off the horn with Matthew, and it seems like Feedburner is blocking Megite&#8217;s feed crawlers. This is a problem, as feedburner serves thousands of blogger&#8217;s feeds, and its has a double-whammy effect. First of all, Megite won&#8217;t be able to credit Bloggers with appropriate links to their site when a story comes up &#8212; because it can&#8217;t &#8220;find&#8221; their feed if its being served by Feedburner. Secondly, because Megite can&#8217;t find them, it can&#8217;t list their story either underneath the appropriate story item. As it stands now, many of the news items are quite bare with no &#8220;discussion&#8221; item below them. I wonder if it has anything to do with how often Megite&#8217;s crawlers &#8220;ping&#8221; the feedburner system, as I know when I&#8217;m getting picked up by Megite, this blog certainly does get contacted every few minutes on their behalf. More to come as it develops. © Tony for Deep Jive Interests, 2007. | Permalink | 6 comments Search blogs linking this post with Technorati Want more on these topics ?

Media I Consume - Another Weblog Meme I Got Into Tags: Meme, Metablogging, Jeremiah Owyang, John Tropea, Library Clips, Omea Pro, Bloglines, Blogroll, RSS, Atom, Newsfeeds, Techmeme, TailRank, Megite, Findory, Blogniscient, diggdot.us, Topix, Google News, Pandora, List.fm, Prison Break, House, Heroes, 24, IBM, IBM Lotus Sametime, Sametime, Skype, Google Talk, Damaka, PC-Actual, FON, Canarias7, Euan Semple, David Gurteen, Tony Karrer, Jerry Bowles, Dave Snowden, Web, Music, TV, Communication, Instant Messaging, VoIP, Movies, Magazines, Books, Newspapers In the last couple of months there have been a couple of times where I have been participating in the different memes that have been going on out there in the blogosphere and I must say that I have enjoyed them quite a bit not only from the perspective of getting to share some more stuff about myself that otherwise would not have been shared over here or elsewhere, but also from the perspective of getting to know some more about the folks who I keep reading on a regular basis. So with all that said, it looks like there is a new meme out there at the moment, started by Jeremiah Owyang, and which John Tropea has picked up and played along a couple of days ago. And, of course, to get the ball rolling John tagged me as well. Thus here I am sharing another weblog post on a new meme which, after having read quite a few entries on it, I am finding it quite interesting and educational as it is allowing me to find out some more about the reading habits from some of the folks I follow. And now it is my turn. This meme in particular has got to do with covering some further details on one&#8217;s own media consumption diet so without much further ado here is my take on this meme: Web: This is also my primary means of getting all of the information / news that I need. In the past I have mentioned how I am currently subscribed to over 700 newsfeeds (Right now 730 to be exact!), of which I am sharing about 480 in my Bloglines blogroll and the rest I keep in my offline RSS / Atom feed client: Omea Pro (Which is now Open Source, by the way, if you would want to check it out). You may be wondering what is the rest, right? Well, to start with, about 100 news sites from all sorts of different places, including TechMeme, TailRank, Megite, Findory, Blogniscient, diggdot.us, Topix, Google News, etc. and then a few other general related news. I guess just the usual stuff. One thing for sure is that whenever I need to get information on a particular subject the Web is one of the first resources I check. Music: I guess that, like everyone else out there, I got my entire music collection in my iPod. Several thousand songs in a single device that I take with me whenever I need to be disconnected for an extended period of time (While travelling, doing sports, walking about or just chilling out). And while I am at work with a live Internet connection I am one of the folks who still loves Pandora, as opposed to Last.fm. So between my iPod and Pandora I am getting most of the music I listen to. TV: I do not watch much TV actually on a regular basis, perhaps only for the news and that would be it. I actually prefer to make use of TV more as an entertainment that a media source I would want to consume. And to that effect, I can honestly say that I am hooked to Prison Break, House (Of course!) and Heroes amongst others. Oh, yes, I am hooked to 24, who wouldn&#8217;t, right? &#8230; Anxiously waiting for the 6th season to get started over here. Yes, I *know*, pure entertainment. Communication: This is going to be an easy one, I think. I am actually not very fond of e-mail as most of you already know so I only use e-mail in my notebook. I do not use any other device to check my mail and from what I can see it is not going to be any time soon that I may be doing that. I do use Instant Messaging, and quite heavily actually, specially for work making use of IBM&#8217;s Lotus Sametime. However, for most of my real-time interactions I am still making heaving use of Skype, Google Talk and Damaka. Yes, that is right, getting the best of both worlds: IM and VoIP. Movies: I normally get to go to the movies every now and then. Lately, I haven&#8217;t been going too much though, since the weather has been extremely good and you would agree with me that there are better things to do than going to the movies when it is lovely out there! I don&#8217;t rent DVDs since I feel there are already enough TV channels out there to go through during the course of the day than just renting DVDs.. Magazines: Well, since I am getting most of my media from the Web I currently do not subscribe to any magazines, except for PC-Actual, and that was because I got it as a gift for purchasing my FON, so I guess that one does not count. Books: I enjoy reading books, for sure, but over the last few years I have developed a tendency to only read books as part of my own entertainment, so it has been quite a while since I have been reading business related books. Instead I prefer to read Sci-Fi, historic, epic and esoteric books. Yes, I know, quite a mix, and that is perhaps why I am keeping myself busy reading a couple of them at the same time. Newspapers: Hummm, hardly ever. Perhaps if I am travelling and do not have access to my laptop. However, there is only one newspaper that I get to read quite often and that is a local one: Canarias7. Why? Simply because they do get what social media is all about. And that was it, folks. Hope you have enjoyed it just as much as I have done by putting it together. And now off to tag a few others to keep the meme going. So I would love to see if Euan Semple, David Gurteen, Tony Karrer, Jerry Bowles and Dave Snowden would be taking up on this challenge and share a bit of their own media consumption diet. Ready to go for it, folks? Megite classe les vidéos populaires de manière intéressante Megite, Megite, un service d’agrégation de blogs (jetez un oeil ici pour la table de comparaison avec ses concurrents) vient de lancer une nouvelle catégorie vidéo dédiée aux vidéos populaires et conçue de manière intéressante. Contrairement à Digg qui classe les vidéos selon le nombre de votes des utilisateurs, le classement de Megite est basé sur le nombre de blogs qui intègrent un lien pointant vers cette vidéo ou intégrant cette vidéo au sein de leur site (de la même manière que Megite suit l’actualité). Un blog disposant d’une note d’autorité élevée et pointant vers une vidéo donnée améliorera significativement le classement cette vidéo de même qu’un grand nombre de blogs disposant de moins d’autorité. La «fraîcheur » de la vidéo est aussi importante et prise en compte (ce qui signifie que megite classe les vidéos qui sont récemment ajoutées). Megite supervise 20 sites vidéos bien que YouTube et pour cause domine cette catégorie. C’est une bonne manière de classer les vidéos et permet d’éviter les classements peu fiables dus à des votes frauduleux comme chez Digg. Plus d’infos chez Rex Dixon qui pointe également vers un entretien avec le fondateur de Megite Matthew Chen mise à jour: Tailrank un concurrent de Megite vient de lancer exactement la même chose à quelques heures près avec un produit assez comparable mais une interface un peu moins réussie Note d’Ouriel: la solution de Megite est bonne mais incomplète pour deux raisons. D’abord elle ne tient pas en compte le nombre de fois qu’une vidéo est vue. Contrairement au texte où il est difficile de savoir si une page vue correspond à un texte lu, une vidéo vue elle est mesurable et mesurée (tous les services de vidéos l’indiquent). Une vidéo populaire est aussi une vidéo qui est vue de nombreuses fois, peut importe le nombre de blogs qui redirigent vers elle. La seconde raison qui rendent ce classement incomplet et l’effet de duplication où l’on retrouve souvent les vidéos les plus populaires sur plusieurs services. Un bon service de classement devrait être capable de dé dupliquer et identifier les vidéos uniques ce qui n’est possible que grâce à une technologie de reconnaissance d’image par exemple. Tags: video, youtube, techcrunch, web2.0, web_2.0, classement Digg’s million users raise many questions According to the official Digg blog, Digg&#8217;s community has grown to 1 million users. It&#8217;s really solid growth if you consider that at the beginning of the year the had less than 200.000 users, and it shows that their decision to switch from being purely a technology site to an all-rounder was the right one. For them, at least. As much as Digg&#8217;s value, popularity, traffic and chances to sell for millions has increased, Digg has also been on a steady decline when one of its core strengths is concerned - news. With more users came more submissions, with more submissions came sensationalist titles, and with those all the important news is stuck in traffic. The core community - the one that so ardently diggs everything Apple and Google-related - is not such a strong presence any more. The top users no longer exist, and with their decline in participation (many former top users aren&#8217;t submitting stories any more) Digg&#8217;s &#8220;character&#8221; has changed. Furthermore, the new kids on the block who are taking their place understand that actual news - unless it&#8217;s really breaking news - has low chances of getting to the front page, so they turn to submitting single Flickr images, &#8220;believe it or not&#8221; facts of dubious origin, and old stories that were around before Digg and were never submitted. This has hurt Digg, although perhaps not in the traffic/number of users kind of way. The IT professionals and journalists are turning away from Digg and Reddit (which was never about news anyway) and looking for better sources of information over at Tailrank, Megite and Techmeme. Slashdot - the site that has inspired Digg - has remained a credible news source simply because it&#8217;s edited. Although many are looking at Alexa&#8217;s stats and claiming that Digg has overrun Slashdot, Slashdot has actually remained a huge authority in the IT world while Digg is the WalMart of social content - lots of choices, hard to find quality stuff. With the recent algorithm changes, which were introduced so quietly that most users didn&#8217;t even notice them, many blogs and smaller sites are silently banned, which did stop an inflation of senseless Digg-bashing stories, but has also alienated a big part of the community: the bloggers that saw Digg as a possibility to get instant-recognition. Some of these were just writing bad linkbait, but some tried very hard to write quality, creative articles because they knew that quality - at least when certain topics are concerned - will be recognized by diggers. This last change has actually helped Digg to some extent. It is a big, invisible, editorial hand that sweeps everything that doesn&#8217;t have enough authority, and gives the A-list sites a clear path for breaking news. Digg&#8217;s front page is still littered with non-news stories, but now at least what little news goes through doesn&#8217;t get duplicated that much and has some credibility behind it. However, to believe that Digg is still a democratic, non-editorial site where the users choose what goes on the front page is ludicrous. It&#8217;s a democracy where on a voting day, one party has a large, beautifully decorated, fruit-baskets-on-every-corner voting booth, while the other has nothing but a dilapidated desk and a cracked stool. Trying to submit stories from certain websites is pointless as they will get buried within seconds, and the number of these sites is not small and it is not limited to sites previously banned. Whatever the criteria are, it&#8217;s not based on what users are burying and it&#8217;s definitely not based on the quality, scope, focus and attitude of the articles. So, although most of the million users (or perhaps the number is a little lower due to duplicate accounts) will still happily scurry about Digg and won&#8217;t notice much of these changes, Digg is a very different site than what it was a year ago. The sheer number of users is causing them problems, and they&#8217;re once again faced with the cold, hard truth - there&#8217;s no news without editors and focus. Will invisible editing through complex algorithms manage to increase the overall quality of the articles on Digg in the long run remains to be seen, but currently Digg is in a fight to keep growing, while regaining its credibility, without alienating its users. It&#8217;s a tough set of balls to keep in the air. Big memetracker roundup - 8 news aggregators reviewed Getting your dose of daily news can be done in many different ways. Besides the old-fashioned way - visiting a couple of bookmarked sites - users have the choice of getting news through the wisdom of crowds, RSS aggregators, RSS mashups, linkblogs: the choices are unlimited. A news source that has lately risen in popularity is an automated news aggregator, or a memetracker - a website that gathers news from many sources (usually RSS feeds) and sorts it according to time of publishing, relevance, importance, number of inbound links or other factors. The important part here is there is very little or no interference by living editors; news items are chosen and sorted by an algorithm, automatically. There&#8217;s an important difference between memetrackers and regular news aggregators. Popurls, for example, is a popular news aggregator, but it is not automated in the sense that it sorts the content for you - it merely aggregates news from a couple of sources. A memetracker may allow for some customization on your part, but the main idea behind such a service is that it tries to find the most relevant and fresh news and present it to you so that you don&#8217;t have to bother looking for it. The sites featured in this roundup are Blogniscient, Buzzfeed, Chuquet, Daily Rotation, Feedable, Megite, Tailrank, Techmeme. For a few observations on the value and future of memetrackers in general, scroll down for the conclusion. Blogniscient is a nicely designed site bringing you the top articles from several categories - US politics, Sci/Tech, Sports, Entertainment and Business. As far as options go, users can choose between seeing only the stories&#8217; titles or titles with leads. Also, in subcategories the option &#8220;cluster view&#8221; groups similar stories together. While the overall look of the site is nice, some of the space is wasted on the unnecessarily large header and two columns which could easily fit into one. This may not seem like much, but on a site like this every little bit of space for the actual news counts. Blogniscient runs into a different sets of problems with the actual content. It seems to be indexing way too few blogs; for example, in the Sci/Tech category 80% of the stories come from Engadget and HD Beat. Furthermore, the stories are old. At the time of this writing, the first story in this subcategory is dated the 7th of March - 7 days old. The news stories are present under the &#8220;Freshest stuff tab&#8221;, but having articles that are more than one or two days old on the front page is still a bad idea for a news site. The overall impression is that Blogniscient isn&#8217;t bad, but the developers simply aren&#8217;t putting enough effort into it. BuzzFeed is a bit different than the rest of this bunch. Like others, it aggregates news from many websites and sorts it according to some algorithm. However, unlike others, it adds its own editorial commentary, as the actual items often aren&#8217;t revolving around a specific story or an article. Instead, they are identified by a common buzz - a trend that is recently popular, written and talked about. The topics covered are movies, music, fashion, ideas, and technology. BuzzFeed appears simple, but it has a couple of handy features. If you missed a story, it&#8217;s easy to find it in the handy calendar archive. Similarly to the &#8220;river of news&#8221; feature which appears on many memetrackers, on BuzzFeed there&#8217;s a list of &#8220;Recent Sites Making Buzz&#8221; in the column on the right. Naturally, the visual approach is a little different too, as BuzzFeed doesn&#8217;t try to save space as much as others, trying to achieve a magazine look instead. The result is a site that&#8217;s great as a daily dose of fun, but not as good if you&#8217;re a journalist looking for new stories. This is not a bad thing: many memetrackers will put off many users with its all-too-professional look and feel, while BuzzFeed might become a favourite source for offbeat news for many. Chuquet has an instantly identifiable problem: design. Its combination of yellow and grey background with black text is simply not a very good option for a website that needs to be very, very easy to read. The option to change the font size helps, but it doesn&#8217;t make the site any prettier. However, since little space is actually wasted in the design, this minimalist approach similar to the look of Reddit would probably work well after some color tweaking. Chuquet delivers clusters of news, with one news item being on top and others presented as links. It covers technology, politics, business, science and entertainment. Users can choose between seeing 10, 20, 50 or 100 new items, and there&#8217;s an option to see popular or only latest items as well. As far as less orthodox features go, there are two: one lets you see the most referenced Wikipedia articles, while the other lets you browse the news through related Flickr images. While it&#8217;s not bad at actually delivering the news (albeit at times a bit slow), Chuquet fails to really stand out as far as options and features go, and the lackluster design doesn&#8217;t help. A bit more effort and a redesign and it could be rubbing shoulders with the best services in this roundup. Daily Rotation barely enters this contest, as it is for the most part a standard, customizable news aggregator. It gives you a choice of several hundred IT related news sources, and if that&#8217;s not enough, you can add more sources yourself. The RSS boxes are draggable, and the look and feel of the site is customizable to some extent, which makes Daily Rotation an IT-focused competitor to Netvibes, Pageflakes and other personalized portals. However, Daily Rotation also offers the option to show a number (up to 50) of &#8220;top headlines&#8221;, which are chosen from a number of different feeds based (as Robert Helmer, the site&#8217;s founder, kindly explained to me) on what users are clicking on the most. So, while Daily Rotation is not a full-featured memetracker - if such a thing exists - but it gives the users a way to quickly scan the important news, which makes it more than just a run-of-the-mill news aggregator. Daily Rotation at this point doesn&#8217;t try to compete with other memetrackers, so don&#8217;t expect any advanced memetracking features from it. Feedable Like Daily Rotation, Feedable is an RSS reader with an added functionality of a memetracker. After signing up for the service, users can add their own news sources to the default feeds, organize them into folders, and do a bit of customization, for example change the background image. As a memetracker, Feedable follows several topics: US Politics (why only US, I wonder), technology, blogosphere, gadgets, gaming, gossip, autos, science and fashion. However, its features are pretty basic: the stories aren&#8217;t clustered as in most other memetrackers; Feedable simply finds interesting items and sorts them by freshness and relevance. While this works well enough, clustering similar stories is a very important feature for a memetracker and Feedable is sorely lacking here. All in all, Feedable is a nice try to offer the best of both worlds, and it&#8217;s great if you take it for what it is; but if you expect some of the more advanced features that other memetrackers have, you might get disappointed. Megite, together with TailRank and Techmeme can be considered the &#8220;big three&#8221; of memetracking. These products have separated themselves from the bunch by not leaving anything to chance. All of them bring in the news very fast, put a lot of effort in constant tweaking of their algorithms, and have been adding new features almost simultaneously, which in turns makes these three services quite similar. Megite brings news from a variety of categories: technology, entertainment, science, politics, business, sports, and health. It also has a section for new videos, a trait it shares with Tailrank. You can also browse all the items that Megite has indexed chronologically in the &#8220;river of news&#8221;, or you can customize it by feeding it your custom-made OPML file. The actual news are shown in clusters, with the most relevant being on top. As far as actual delivering of the news goes, Megite is right there on top. It picks up news quickly and intelligently puts the original sources on top and comments and opinions below. Occasional glitches are present; sometimes two unrelated stories will be shown as somehow connected, but examples of this are rare. I once warned Megite&#8217;s founder, Matthew Chen, about such an incident, which he promptly fixed, and I haven&#8217;t seen it happen again. Tailrank The story about Megite actually ends with Tailrank, because these two services are really similar, and there is very little on offer that can distinguish one from the other. Tailrank has less categories - technology, entertainment, politics and video, but it has more tools: it&#8217;s possible to submit a site to Tailrank, you can view news from a specific date (example: http://tailrank.com/2006-06-13), and Tailrank is also available in a version for mobile devices at the address m.tailrank.com. When it comes to news aggregation, Tailrank clusters the articles revolving around one main story, but it doesn&#8217;t show as many stories as Techmeme or Megite right on the front page. To some, this will be a disadvantage, while others will appreciate less clutter and more clarity that this approach offers. It also gives Tailrank a very &#8220;neat&#8221; design, contrasted to sometimes chaotic look of the competitors. Tailrank also shows the top news items for today and yesterday in a handy box on the right side of the page. Overall, Tailrank is the cream of the crop. Its smooth design, solid number of additional features and tools and timely deliverance of news will make it a favorite choice for many. Techmeme is a site focused exclusively on computers and technology. Just like Megite and Tailrank, it finds and ranks news mainly based on links - when a news article is heavily linked by other sites, Techmeme will pick it up. The more attention an article gets, the higher it ranks on Techmeme. Furthermore, Techmeme intelligently finds the originators of the news and gives them more attention, while sites which have written about the same topic later are added below the original links as &#8220;related&#8221; or &#8220;discussion&#8221;. On the upper right side of the site there&#8217;s a &#8220;new item finder&#8221;, which shows the latest articles added to Techmeme. If you click on &#8220;extend timeline&#8221; the list of new items will expand, and on the bottom of the list you are presented by a new choice: &#8220;Techmeme river&#8221;, which leads you to a simple chronological &#8220;river of news&#8221;, similar to the &#8220;river&#8221; feature on Megite. The design of the site can be described as spartan, with large blue fonts which contrast well against the white background. There is no eye candy to be seen here, but there is also very little visual information that can distract you from actually reading the content, which is great. As far as customization goes, Techmeme offers four different font sizes, two main views (a compact one and another one which shows discussion excerpts), the option to open links in another window and the possibility of searching the main blog search engines on the topic at hand. Techmeme shares many positive and negative traits with Tailrank and Megite. On one hand, it does a wonderful job of extracting relevant news and sorting out the originators on top. It never overwhelms with too much news, and its high contrast design helps you notice the information quicker. On the downside, it will never pick up an article unless it&#8217;s been linked to a lot. It covers only IT news, however its sister sites, Memeorandum, WeSmirch and Ballbug (which are virtually identical as far as look and features go) are focused on politics, showbiz and baseball, respectively. Conclusion It is hard to compare memetrackers, and decide which one is best, because a big part of their value lies in the choice of news they provide, and it&#8217;s a very subjective category. Someone will prefer hardware news, while someone else might prefer Internet and gadgets. However, when we put aside Daily Rotation and Buzzfeed, which are a bit different than others, it&#8217;s quite obvious that Techmeme, Tailrank and Megite are leading the pack. They have more features, index more sites, and bring the news faster than the rest. To catch up with the &#8220;big three&#8221;, the smaller players will have to do something extraordinary, or at least improve their service to scan for news more aggressively so they don&#8217;t fall behind. This was further confirmed with a small informal test. While I was writing this article, a very important news item broke: Viacom&#8217;s lawsuit against Google. I was following the technology sections of all 8 memetrackers. Techmeme picked up the news first, soon to be followed by Megite and Tailrank. Daily Rotation and Feedable followed soon, while Chuquet was yet a bit more slower, and Blogniscient hasn&#8217;t picked up this news item even several hours after it broke out. Since the best sites in this group are so similar, readers will choose them based on personal preferences - design and small details. I cannot say which one is the best. Something can be said for Techmeme&#8217;s focus on a narrower field - IT - which will probably make it a preferred source of news for those interested in that topic, but will also alienate everyone else. Tailrank and Megite, however, are neck to neck, and it will stay that way unless one of them comes up with something big. What&#8217;s the real value of memetrackers? Even the best of the sites described in this article are not without problems. Their biggest issue lies in their very core. Sometimes, great articles simply aren&#8217;t linked to all that much, especially when the article in question is not news but an analysis or a review. On the other hand, sites that get lots of links on every story they do, like TechCrunch, get featured even when the stories aren&#8217;t that interesting. Furthermore, by clustering similar items together, they are in a sense forcing owners of smaller sites to link to articles on bigger sites. Paradoxically, even if a smaller site broke the news first, memetrackers will wait till the same news item appears on a bigger site (which obviously gets linked to often) and index that first, and the writers on the smaller sites will have to link to those articles if they want to get indexed. In this light, all memetrackers might do well to consider adding alternative ways and algorithms for finding interesting news items. The number of inbound links is an important metric, but it is not almighty. Until they come up with something new, they will all suffer from the same shortcomings. As it is now, memetrackers are fantastic - when combined with other news sources. Quick news: Fliptrack, ToonDoo, Serph, Spinn3r A number of new services sprouted today in a short period of time, two of them aimed at creative end users, one at researchers and the last one at web businesses. Fliptrack is a service that enables you to create music videos. They provide the (licensed) music, you provide the photos, and then synchronize them with their handy and simple tool to create a video, which you can upload back to Fliptrack or embed at your own site. You can see the demo over here. ToonDoo is a new creation of AdventNet, the company behind Zoho, the online office suite. Not nearly as serious a product (in a funny - serious way) as Zoho, ToonDoo makes it easy to create your own comic using a set of premade images (you can also upload your own) and text. Expect people to make even more bad cartoons and then submit them to Digg/Reddit. Serph is a buzz tracker created by the guys behind Pronet Advertising. It&#8217;s a search engine which tells you what other people/sites have been writing about whatever you entered as a query (usually a company or a name). It&#8217;s neat, although I&#8217;m not sure it gives me a significant enough advantage over a plain old Google search. Spinn3r is not going to be interesting to end users, but it might prove to be most important service from this batch. It&#8217;s the spider that powers Tailrank, a memetracker we&#8217;ve written about recently in our Big memetracker roundup. Now, any site / business that needs a spider that can aggregate news from the web, organize it in a meaningful way and get rid of spam in the process doesn&#8217;t have to develop their own software - they can plug in into Spinn3r. It&#8217;s a paid service, but it&#8217;s also offered for free to non-profits and for educational/research purposes. It will be interesting to see if Megite or Techmeme, Tailrank&#8217;s biggest competitors, will do something similar in the future. No links = no web If you link to someone who doesn&#8217;t want to be linked to, they can sue you. That&#8217;s pretty much the result of the court case between Google and Belgian newspapers La Libre Belgique and Le Soir. You can read the report here. This is a stupid decision. There&#8217;s no two ways around it. First of all, newspapers should want Google traffic. Remember this when in 5 years these two Belgian newspapers stop printing because evil online publications are better and faster and make more money than them. Second, both of these publications offer RSS feeds. I can&#8217;t use words strong enough to explain how dumb it is to have RSS feeds and suing someone for using links to your content and snippets from your articles. It&#8217;s like giving away apples but then complaining if the guy you gave the apples to gives them away to someone else. Who are they gonna sue next, the RSS readers like Bloglines for picking up their content? Hello, Belgian newspapers, this is your wake up call. If you don&#8217;t want people to get your content without going to your page, do not use RSS. It&#8217;s making you look ignorant. It&#8217;s making whoever judged against Google in this case look even more daft. Let&#8217;s forget about the newspapers and RSS for a second, and look at the implications of this case were it to be used as a reference for the future. Links are one of the foundations of the web. How can you organize content without links? You say &#8216;you can&#8217;t link to me&#8216;? I say, get off the web then. If you don&#8217;t want getting linked to, go offline. The Internet is all about connections, links, and networking. I sincerely hope that common sense will prevail here and that this case will be overturned, or at least forgotten as a stupid mistake. Imagine what would happen to the web if you could forbid getting linked to. First thing that comes to mind are social content sites which consist practically only of links, like Digg, Reddit, Netscape. Will these sites one day be deemed &#8216;illegal&#8217;, just like Napster back in the day? What about Wikipedia and its references? What about sites like Techmeme, Tailrank, Megite? What about Popurls? The list goes on and on. In the Internet age, some people are pushing the concept of copyright too far. You can&#8217;t forbid people to think about your content, talk about your content, discuss it, link to it, mash it up, organize it, syndicate it. If you don&#8217;t want any of the above to happen to your content, get off the web. Hell, stop showing your content to anyone at all. That&#8217;s the best way to make sure your content is safe. Spotplex - another site wrongly accused of being the new Digg Digg is a huge buzzword these days, so it&#8217;s being used even when it has little to do with what you&#8217;re writing about. Spotplex is a semi-automated news site much similar to Spotback, Techmeme, Tailrank, Megite and other automated news aggregators. Since it&#8217;s been compared to Digg one would expect RSVC (read submit vote comment) functionality, but there&#8217;s no such thing here. Users cannot submit new stories, and they cannot even vote on new stories. As far as users are concerned, it just aggregates new, popular stories from a bunch of news websites. It&#8217;s not similar to Digg - which requires participation and engagement from the users - and the unfair comparisons to it will probably do it more harm than good. Spotplex does offers some innovation in the way it gets news. Site owners need to include a few lines of code on their websites, and Spotplex will then start fetching new stories from them. The more an article gets visited on the actual blog, the more exposure it gets on Spotplex. In turn, blog owners get stats on how many people visited their article. Among other options, Spotplex offers a widget with newly discovered stories, tags of the day, and the standard tag based navigation. The news are categorized similarly to the sites mentioned above: technology, business, sports, science, entertainment, gaming, health, arts, politics, personal. So, where Techmeme, for example, measures the relevance of a story based on how many other bloggers linked to the story, Spotplex measures it based on actual visits. It&#8217;s a nice idea, but in reality, Spotplex, while not bad, feels a bit lacking. The design is bland, and the whole thing boils to a long list of news story titles. It&#8217;s a kind of service I&#8217;d definitely add to my RSS feed, but I&#8217;m not sure if I would actually visit the site on a daily basis. Megite 2.0 and Megite Video I&#8217;ve written about Megite before and they&#8217;ve recently released both a 2.0 version and a video site. The video section is something I have been looking for awhile and is a very promising niche. YouTube and other sites are great but there is really a lack of organization and thus, I watch a lot of videos that I really don&#8217;t want to watch. Megite Video is taking the first step in organizing video along the same lines as it organizes its news content - based on popularity. So if you want to check out the most talked about videos on the web in one sitting, check out Megite Video. Megite 2.0, which was released about a month ago, has several enhancements. From Matthew (via Google Talk chat): &#8212;- Matthew: We launch Megite 2.0 with new features and significant improvements. 1. New blog discovery algorithm: Megite introduces the new blog auto discovery algorithm. So not only the A-list bloggers, other bloggers can be the sources to Megite. This improves the coverage and inclusive of Megite. 2. Better Ranking algorithm: Megite introduces the blog quality importance evaluation metrics and improves the the ranking algorithm by combining the blog importance, content relevance, linkage info, freshness, user feedback, and more. 3. Better Clustering algorithm: Clustering algorithm is used to group the posts about the same topic under the same thread. 4. Better Thumbnail image extraction algorithm. 5. Cache thumbnail images on Megite server. 6. Crawling infrastructure improvement that helps us to update more frequently and process more verticals. 7. Better title and description extraction algorithm. 8. More verticals are covered: Entertainment, Science, Food, Fashion, Chinese IT, etc. 9. Megite River of News by crowdsourcing. 10. Refresh main channels in less than half an hour &#8212;- Excellent work Matthew. You have replaced Techmeme as my one stop news shop for knowing what&#8217;s happening now in business and technology. The video section is a bonus! Another cool feature Matthew mentioned is their River of News which, from their site, &#8216;is a constant flow of what&#8217;s new and interesting by crowdsourcing&#8217;. Just sit back and watch the news roll in. (Disclosure: We designed Megite)   Tags: Megite, Memetracker, Techmeme, Newsriver, River of News, Video, Youtube, Tracker, Web Greetings to Tailrank 2.0 Its competitors include TechMeme and Megite. Burton says he hopes to reach 250,000 blogs indexed in the next month. Can We Keep Up? Scoble is asking how we can keep up with the constant flow of information? My answer is simple: don&#8217;t bother. We need filters and with that I don&#8217;t mean editors at local news stations, but a technical solution that can scour the web for us and return interesting results. Touchstone is doing some interesting stuff (now in beta) with filtering and so are a number of other services. Also, instead of trying to read every post, I hit Techmeme first, and then maybe Megite and Tailrank to see what the rest of the world was talking about while I did other things. In the end though, maybe the easist solution is to just give in to the river of news view Dave Winer champions and just be thankful that the Google Reader only tells you that your have more than 100+ feeds unread instead of a real number. Psychologically, I don&#8217;t think we are able to handle the information overload we submit ourselves to. Unless you are a professional info gatherer, just don&#8217;t bother. Good stuff is going to float to the top one way or another. Technorati Tags: scoble, rss, information overload megite : Memetracker for a single blog First megite was a memetracker for a selection of the blogosphere, then you could limit this to your blogosphere (your OPML feed set), now you can see the conversations around one blog, that&#8217;s right a memetracker for the latest 48 hours for a single source. Now you can see the popular ordered posts from a single blog and view the discussion in a much easier way than a stream of comments, trackbacks, and inlinks, plus the bonus of related posts that aren&#8217;t explicit inlinks&#8230;see more from mashable. Introducing the Mashtracker, the first single source focused memetracker. NOTE: the posts are in ranked in order of popularity over the last 48 hours, not sure if this means it won&#8217;t list less popular posts&#8230;I wonder if you get to see all posts but just ranked differently. When it&#8217;s based over a feed set you only see the popular posts and it ditches the rest, but from just one feed, you could probably get away showing all the posts, just not in date order. So what would you now visit the mashable website or the mashtracker website? There is also a mashtracker feed, pity you don&#8217;t get clustering or full-text in the feed. More Coming soon, the latest buzz on a topic or keyword. Think MyFeedz but enhanced with megite style&#8230;or Google Blog Search, but instead of a list of results have them pimped up memetracker style. I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;ll be showcasing some buzz meme keywords&#8230;can&#8217;t wait to search meme&#8217;s. Meme clip blogging and OPML meme widgets We all love that we can create topic clips blogs right from our Google Reader, a simple and effortless clip stream with it&#8217;s own feed and public page&#8230;my gripe is that you can&#8217;t clip outside stuff or annotate, see Top 10 Sources for a great example (this is not an RSS Reader). Clustering is a feature missing from Google Reader, you will find it at MyFeedz, WizAg, Feeds 2.0, FeedEye, and Feedable. Another term would be memetracking within your RSS Reader, all this means is that similar stories are clustered together (including showing inlinks for each), and it may provide bonus stories from outside your RSS Reader (ie. related stories to a cluster, from feeds you are not subscribed to). Even if Google Reader did introduce clustering, would I be able to clip a clustered meme to my clip streams. At the moment you can share single links in a public clips or link stream, well what about a clips meme stream, this means instead of clipping links one at a time, you get to clip a cluster of links as one entry. What about a widget for any clustered story, this would be a great feature for megite or Techmeme. Feedable now has clip or linkblogs, so my question is what about memeblogs, to repeat myself, where instead of each entry being a link, each entry is a cluster or bunch of links, basically meme clipping. A meme cluster as a unit or permalink obviously begs to be able to do more than pointing to the permalink (as we do in Techmeme), we want to embed a widget of a meme in our blog posts, why point to a Techmeme URL, when you can have the excerpt of the content within your post (and I don&#8217;t mean an image). Once Google Reader does clustering, I&#8217;d love to be able to grab a cluster of links around a meme as a widget and put it in a blog post. When you are writing a blog post you often have to go to the trouble to list lots of links about a current topic or meme, and sometimes you even may include a quote for each link, eg. Emily&#8217;s post on her Twitterverse blog about all the blogs that have mentioned the new release of her Twitterverse product. Now imagine if she could search the term &#8220;twitterverse&#8221; in megite (coming soon), and the results are displayed in that visual memetracker layout that we love (rather than unappealing linear search results). She could then grab that meme as a widget and put it in her blog post, instead of manually doing it all herself. OK, at the moment those blog posts she&#8217;s included in her post will know they are being talked about if they follow their ego feeds, but will they know each time they have been embedded as a megite widget, will the links of all the posts in the meme widget be tracked by search engines, so you can know someone is talking about you. I suppose another thing is that Emily compiled the posts she chose to talk about, nothing beats personal choice, whereas a meme widget will have a bunch of generated clustered posts (and may exclude some good stuff, compared to scouring the net yourself). She also chose to quote an excerpt from each, maybe posts in a meme can expand for summaries. Anyway in this case maybe doing it manually is better, but for other situations when you want to say, check out who&#8217;s talking about the latest product, all you would have to do is effortlessly search megite or perhaps your own RSS Reader, and grab the meme as a widget and embed it in your blog post. Another thought&#8230; Over time a new meme could connect to older meme&#8217;s, that is, a re-surface of a conversation that was had in the past. Would the old meme grow to include the new meme or would they be separate as they happened at different time chunks, therefore are different conversations, even though they are about the same thing. I guess they could link to each other eg. also see&#8230;. If you went back to look at an old meme and it has lots more links compared to when you last looked at it, would the widget version of that meme in your blog post grow as well&#8230;I don&#8217;t think so, I believe meme&#8217;s are time sensitive. But it would be great for the meme widget in my blog post to suddenly have a link saying also see this new related meme. How this could work is that if all the links in a meme were wrapped up in an OPML URL. Imagine for each meme in megite you could grab an OPML Grazr widget, and the outline in this Grazr widget mimicked the layout of the meme in megite. You could put this OPML Grazr meme in a blog post and because it is based on OPML, any new links added to the megite meme, would reflect in the Grazr meme in your blog post&#8230; OPML makes everyone happy Feeds 2.0 : personal memetracking reader those that can personalise to your OPML, such as megite and TailRank…these are great as they also recommend articles (which Feeds 2. 0 will soon do, if not already). TailRank : granular meme tracking it is also a personal memetracker like megite…enter your OPML and find the hot news from these feeds, it will all cluster similar/related items from the rest Roundup: Jaxter, bubbl.us, Imagini Friends, buddystumbler, Serph Jaxter - a widget for your blog, webpage, startpage, etc&#8230;where someone can phone you (VOIP) or leave a message&#8230;see more. bubbl.us - mindmapping Imagini Friends - a social network that matches people based on the results of a personal questionnaire buddystumbler - an IM social network&#8230;enter your IM user names, find IM users by tag (kind of like an expert locator) or search IM users, add them as a friend or chat, you can also send messages&#8230;Tworl is a little bit similar. Serph - a new memetracker coming soon, others are TechMeme, TailRank, megite&#8230;also see MyFeedz, WizAg, and Feeds 2.0 Daylife news portal Daylife is a news aggregator, trying to achieve the same thing as Google News, Topix, Inform, Spotback, TailRank, megite, techmeme, etc&#8230; I suppose you could even include Topic Content Networks like, Boxxet and Zimbio&#8230;and Cit J services like Newsvine&#8230;and blog networks like Gather. Basically it is a news portal, where you can choose a topic, people, places, organisations, timelines, photo gallery, quotes, top stories, highlights, bookmark stories to read later&#8230;see the tour. I like that they have gone beyond just topic based news (I&#8217;d like to see sub-topics), but it is not very community driven or social (tags, ratings, commenting, posting)&#8230;also I&#8217;d like to limit news to just the blogosphere. It looks like it is not meant to be a socially driven service, it&#8217;s more akin to a traditional news portal like Google News, with some personal customisation features. TechCrunch mentioned there are no feeds (even for your bookmarked stuff), and commenting, and the front page stories are gathered by people&#8230;I guess not every new service has to be read/write web. The MyWorld feature allows you to save bookmarks, search queries, people, sources, quick link sections (eg. topic, people, places), so at least there is old school customisation (by this I mean you are not quite interacting or contributing, you can just assemble your view). All in all it achieves what Inform couldn&#8217;t do, and I&#8217;d like to use it over Topix and Google News. It&#8217;s good to see you can customise it like Google News Customised, and Spotback (this also personalises). Feedeye : DIY Google News or Techmeme Feedeye is doing what I see as the next step in RSS Readers, this is clustering stories, plus ranking items by popularity. I&#8217;ve explained in my Google Reader post how clustering stories and ordered by popularity akin to Google News or Techmeme saves time and just feels right. The usual scenario is you finished reading your RSS Reader and reflected back and noticed that 20 of your feeds posted about the latest daily breaking news eg. Google aquired YouTube. These 20 stories were scattered in your RSS Reader, so you read these similar stories at different times. Naturally your RSS Reader would be smart enough to group or cluster these stories for you so you can read them one after the other. The first on this scene at a personal level was Feeds 2.0, followed by WizAg, and MyFeedz. Both megite and TailRank will also do this, but these aren&#8217;t personal RSS Readers where you can mark a story read/unread, plus these two services don&#8217;t show every story in your feed set, they just show the popular stories with the clustered items, plus they nudge in some recommended stories. I like the idea of Feeds2.0 and Feedeye as they will cluster stories, but you also get to see all items in your RSS reader if you want to keep reading, and you can keep stories unread. NOTE: Feedeye has different views, some views don&#8217;t allows to keep stories unread. The main difference between Feedeye and Feeds 2.0 is that the stories in Feeds 2.0 can be ranked by date or past reading behaviour, whereas in Feedeye the stories are ranked by popularity. Personal meets popularity What I&#8217;m after is a combination of popularity ranking of stories and personalisation ranking of stories (plus clustering similar items). Feedeye displays stories in order of popularity and the stories with clustered items rank on top. Feeds 2.0 ranks stories by personalisation (based on past reading behaviour), and shows clustered items to stories where available. What I&#8217;m saying here is that I still want clustered items, but I want stories ranked according to me, not just how popular everyone thinks they are. In fact, I want both, show me two streams: Stream 1 - stories ranked based on my attention Stream 2 - stories ranked by blogosphere popularity NOTE: Any clicks in stream 2 would not track reading behaviour. Maybe you could make one stream more prominent and the other stream in a small scrollable box. And what about stream 3 - a mix of both streams. What this enables: 1. I have muliple views of a story all bunched together (clustered), I can be informed from different sources about the same story in less than 5 minutes (according to the feed sources I have chosen). 2. In one stream stories are ranked by my personal click behaviour - the idea is, as I read my river of news and start to come to stories that don&#8217;t interest me I could feed safe to not read the rest of the news items, and just mark all as read, this is an ideal world - option is to read the remaining items by tags as in MyFeedz. 3. In another stream I can read stories ranked by popularity - a story is popular if lots of people are writing about it - a particular story is popular (the mother of the clustered items beneath it) if all the other stories link to it, or it is just well written, or if it broke the news first, or if it is considered generally popular from past stories this source has published, or a mix of all this. Also to mention with all these services is that they throw recommended items into the mix, so for every story in Feedeye, you can show related items from the blogosphere. This is a great idea as you don&#8217;t want your feed set to work against you, it&#8217;s refereshing to see what others (feeds not in your feed set) are saying about a story. What is popular to you? Feedeye is a personal Google News or Techmeme, you get to see every item, but the popular one&#8217;s are on top. In fact all stories are ranked by popularity, it&#8217;s just the stories with clustered items are on top. Why are they popular? Because there are several posts in your mix talking about the same thing, so naturally it is popular. BUT&#8230;this is still not enough for me, as I might not care if they are popular. I need my river of news ordered (stories need to be ranked) by learning from my reading behaviour, but I still want clustered items. It&#8217;s just these posts with clustered items don&#8217;t necessarily have to be at the top of the pile. This way I&#8217;m reading what is personally important to me first, and when available please cluster similar stories together. Feedeye Add a bunch of feeds or an OPML file or OPML URL and give it a name, this is called a set and gets its own public URL. A set basically would be the same as a folder in your RSS Reader, a bunch of feeds according to a topic, or whatever. You can also filter text in the set content: filter out in/out/highlight terms in the body, text, author, URL&#8230; NOTE: Not sure if it has deduping (if some of your feeds are news search feeds from different news engines you would get identical items appearing&#8230;I don&#8217;t know anyone who would want to see the same item more than once). Sort stories by date or grouped by number of similar stories - even though you sort stories by date rather than popularity, I don&#8217;t see why you still can&#8217;t have clustered items, not sure if this is the case. Various reading view - 2 pane, newspaper, flowed summaries, slideshow (quite unique) Separate view for stories you have read (clicked) Temporary separate view for recent items (only on 2 pane view) Keep a story unread (only on 2 pane view) Clip stories (this is saving or bookmarking), See related items from the blogosphere. Add a button on your blog for people to subscribe to your blog in their Feedeye account. Each of your sets has a public URL, so basically you are making your own Techmeme or Google News, that is, memetracking according to your feed sources. NOTE: maximum of 40 feeds per set, and a maximum of 25 sets. Memetracking or related items or clustered items, whatever you call it, is so great for journalists and consumers as for any feed set, you can see the different views/published stories about the same story. You can read a story and before you wonder what anyone else is saying about the story you have already clicked on it, and on another, and other. In 5 minutes you have been able to read 5 news items about the exact same story. Plus if you only have 15 minutes to read stories, you can read the popular stories according to the world. So in a short time you can get your daily digest and not stress to much about missing anything, this could become the opposite of RSS overload. See my Feedeye for my Top 20 feeds (this is set on the 2 pane view): http://feedeye.com/johnt/top20 Here is re-posted some of the Feedeye FAQ, it just explains this concept so well: &#8220;Feedeye is an online feed reading service (sometimes called an “aggregator” or “RSS reader”), much like Bloglines or NewsGator. But Feedeye can do more than just show you your feeds: it’ll also tell you which items on the page are the most important, introduce you to cool new feeds you mightn&#8217;t have otherwise found, and let you easily browse what other folks are reading. After you put your feeds into a “set”, Feedeye looks at all of the items in them, groups those that talk about the same thing, and highlights them at the top of the page. This makes it easy to browse the important news in your feeds quickly, a little bit like TechMeme or Google News. Feedeye also has a bunch of other features, such as the ability to change what your sets look like (to a slideshow, or a newspaper-style page, or a big long page of new items, or a traditional feed reading view with two panels). Unless you mark them as private, anyone can visit your sets or link to them from other Web sites. And Feedeye can help you discover new sets similar to the ones you’re reading.&#8221; And more: &#8220;The main objective of Feedeye is to give you some sense of what’s important among the items in your feeds, rather than just showing all of the items equally as normal feed readers do. When you view a set, Feedeye processes the entries, grouping together posts that talk about the same thing. The more times a particular topic features in your feeds, the higher it gets ranked when you go to view your sets. This means that Feedeye provides the traditional function of a newspaper — giving you cues as to what’s important — but lets you choose the sources that will determine importance. It’s a bit like creating your own newspaper and appointing your favourite blog authors as its editors.&#8221; Increase the amount of places that link to your blog post After my post on AutoRoll, I thought about ways to get your blog listed elsewhere on the web. This post does not include the type of tips like; post frequency, SEO, writing literal blog post titles, full-text vs. summary feeds, long posts vs. short posts, etc&#8230;this post is about what you can do to explicitly increase the amount of places that link to your blog post. Ways to promote your blog elswhere - Blog directory (Technorati Blog Directory) - Blog community (MyBlogLog) - Personal Content Streams (Ziki, Lijit, mugshot) - Search networks (Rollyo) - Join lots of networks as your profile will always have a link to your blog - Recommendation community (AutoRoll) - Inter-blog posting (CreamAid) - Inter-blog chatting (GeeSee) - Appearing on a blogs blogroll - Appearing on a public remixed feed stream (Feed Collectors, Feedburner Networks, Technorati Favourites, SuprGlu) - Appearing on Public version of a RSS Reader (Bloglines, Feedshow, Alesti, Feedeye) - A Widget gallery (MuseStorm, Blidget) - A Toolbar button gallery (Google button gallery) - Personal RSS Reader recommendation (Rojo, OutBrain) - Social RSS Reader (feeds.reddit, Spokeo, Ozmozr) - Appearing at a feed or OPML exchange (SYO, FeedVault, Feedshow) - Being indexed by search engines (Technorati, Google) and memetrackers (Megite, Techmeme, TailRank) - Your blog post appearing as a link within another blogs post, basically inlinks (increase this by linking to blogs you like/read, commenting where you can) - When you link to another blog post in your post, enter it as a trackback, this way your post is now promoted on the end of their post - Appearing on a Comment exchange (CoComment)&#8230;write enaging posts for this to happen - Appearing on a social bookmark service (del.icio.us)&#8230;write enaging posts for this to happen (or tag your own posts) - Tags your posts (Technorati Tags) - Blog programs (Blogburst, NewsCast, Blogs On Demand, Topix) Spotplex is a memeclicker Spotplex is about finding what&#8217;s hot on the web according to social clicks, probably influenced by the Rojo idea of popular posts via a social click behaviour. Rojo is based on a feed set, this feed set is the aggregated feeds from the Rojo subscription web, stories from these feeds are clicked, saved, tagged, emailed, voted, etc&#8230;all these clicks (besides voting) assume an implicit vote of interest. The most clicked stories appear as popular posts, this is also organised by category and tag. Spotplex is also a memeclicker, but unlike Rojo it generates submissions outside the subscription web. The way it works is bloggers place code in their blog, and when people visit their website, this connects to Spotplex and becomes an automatic vote for that post. The more site visits (clicks) the more popular the post becomes. Hmmm, what if you didn&#8217;t like the post, but just by visiting it you voted for it. Anyway it also doubles up as a site visit statistics tracker for your blog posts. But what about RSS content, do posts only get memeclicked (submitted to Spotplex) if items are clicked, what about views. If I offered summary feeds, I&#8217;d get more clicks, therefore more votes to climb Spotplex&#8230;is there a way it can harvest RSS views (part of audience enagement)? They also offer widgets for all articles or limited to one blog, even limited to new or popular articles. It&#8217;s not just posts, why not also list the most popular sources (blogs) these posts come from, basic who has the highest site visits, check out the Blog standing link. Alternative buzz sites Memedigging - Digg Personal memeclicker - Findory, Spotback Inlinks - Technorati, Sphere (and other variables) Outlinks - Chuquet Memetracker - Techmeme, TailRank, Megite [via TechCrunch, Webware ] Break into the “A-list” (Whether It Exists or Not) So, unsurprisingly, Jason Calacanis has once again inflamed some bloggers by stating that there&#8217;s no such thing as &#8220;A-list&#8221; bloggers: Give me a break&#8230; there is no A-List in blogging. Just people who&#8217;ve been blogging longer than others and who are smarter or better writers&#8211;or all of those things. I think there are a lot of folks who think because they re-blog a couple of stories a day for a couple of weeks, and they don&#8217;t go anywhere in terms of traffic, that they are being &#8220;held back&#8217; by the A list. That&#8217;s BS&#8230; those folks are basically the losers who think that their success in blogging is based on other people. Kinda reminds me of how hard it is for new sites to rank well against really well established ones. I don&#8217;t think that search engines or the blogosphere are a perfect &#8220;meritocracy.&#8221; The bloggers and websites that deserve the most attention, for quality writing or awesome products and services, don&#8217;t always get it. Granted, much of the A-list has worked very hard to get where they are today. It remains to be seen whether the same amount of work today could achieve the same results. But if you&#8217;re up to it, Calacanis and others offer 20 tips (okay, there&#8217;s some overlap) on how to get into the (nonexistant) A-list. Calacanis: Blog intelligently. Think about your post for a day before you hit publish. Do research&#8211;do primary research in the real work. Write something with insight, and include links to other folks ideas. Go to 2-3 events or conferences a week. [He means a month.] Get a great domain name that is easy to remember and spell (i.e. buzzmachine.com). Go to TechMeme and write an insightful piece daily about one of the top stories. [But I thought we weren&#8217;t supposed to be &#8220;re-blogging a couple stories a day&#8221;&#8230;] Start emailing other bloggers with feedback on their stories. (don&#8217;t beg for links) Be smart. Don&#8217;t be an idiot. [No comment.] webomatica: Blog often. You have to blog at least once a day if not more, in the beginning. I&#8217;m still shooting for three posts a day. Figure out a niche and stick to it. Learn the technical stuff. Get up to speed on all the means of aggregation to your disposal, Feedburner, Technorati, pinging, trackbacks. Read other people&#8217;s blogs regularly. Check out Techmeme, Megite, and Tailrank. Find some blogs you like and do what they do. Blogging in a vacuum sucks (no pun intended). Comment on other blogs. [ie &#8216;talk about&#8217; not &#8216;leave comments on,&#8217; I guess] Follow the golden rule. If you want blogs to link to you, link to blogs. It will seem one-sided at first but we all start somewhere. Read up on how to write. Meaning, how to write a good headline, how to make a post interesting, how to hold people&#8217;s attention. You can&#8217;t just blast poorly structured thoughts out there in rough draft form and expect anybody to take you seriously. Write posts that you want to read. A big YouTube link and one line saying &#8220;This is cool! Check it out!&#8221; pisses me off. So I refrain from doing that as much as possible - write actual content. Figure out why you&#8217;re blogging. For money? Attention? So you can be seen as the expert on aluminum siding? Don&#8217;t waste time on tactics that conflict with your purpose. Set some goals for yourself. Right now I&#8217;m trying to crack 20,000 in Technorati and get 1,000 uniques a day. That&#8217;s what is important to me; and I don&#8217;t worry about other blogs &#8220;keeping&#8221; me from doing it. Soloman Rothman on WebProNews: Pick the specific A-list blog that you want to mention you, and then start serial commenting (not spamming, just leaving daily valuable comments). They’ll start responding and, over time, visit your blog. At first they’ll just respond to some of your comments, but if you keep it up, eventually the OTHER people on their blog will start mentioning you by name; when that happens, prepare for a link. Of course you can also just ask them: how do I get a link on your website? Keep in mind, though, that you have to write something worth commenting on, and worth being noticed for. Get some posts syndicated by sites that get more traffic than your blog does and sites that can help your articles show up in news searches. Webpronews.com is a good one if you are in the SEO industry. Write an on-topic post that makes it to the front page of Digg, or any of the other popular social media sites. It’s easy for them to link to that article (you can even e-mail them and ask them to), even if you’re completely unknown. [Oh, if only it were that easy.] Publish posts that directly comment on topics and posts in the A-list blogs you want to gain links from. If they blog a lot I guarantee they check their referrers/ track backs and will see that you’re writing about them. Don’t be afraid to disagree with them or strongly add your two cents. Be innovative, be bold, just don’t be boring or another me too; there’s too much competition for that. Or you could do what I did: write for someone else&#8217;s A list blog be a girl and have brown hair. (&#8230; Are we the A list, Andy?) Andy says&#8230;According to Kineda, we&#8217;re on the A-list, but I really think it&#8217;s all relative to who you&#8217;re comparing yourself to. Here&#8217;s some extra tips to consider. Get people talking - have you noticed that I tend to voice my opinion, even when the masses take the opposite view? I&#8217;ve said many times, half the people that read MP do so with the mindset of &#8220;let&#8217;s see what idiotic crap Andy has to say today.&#8221; Think it doesn&#8217;t work? Think about why Calacanis is getting so much attention - his goes to the extreme and pisses-off whole industries! Look at bloggers outside of your niche and identify great ideas that might work for your blog. I&#8217;m not advocating flat-out copying, but expand your blog reading to include &#8220;A-list&#8221; bloggers outside your industry and look at what they do to promote themselves. Interview the &#8220;A-list&#8221; - when I first started blogging, I interviewed Robert Scoble, Jim Lanzone and Mark Cuban (among others). Not only did it increase my readership, but it got me on their radar. Last tip - bring on talented bloggers! They&#8217;ll write great posts for you, like this one. Pilgrim Partners: Buy Text Links - Buy text links and increase your site&#8217;s traffic! How recommendations can isolate people It&#8217;s curious to me that Findory is fading on us, perhaps slipping into oblivion. It&#8217;s not the only startup with a good idea to see the lights dimming through the window of opportunity. And it&#8217;s certainly not for a lack of insight or technical chops. I love the idea of automatic learning and recommendations. But the application of that concept makes more sense in the context of an experience as opposed to an experience itself. Last.fm understands this and represents it more effectively than just about anything I&#8217;ve seen on the Internet yet. Scott Karp faults Findory for failing to capture the serendipity of learning what you didn&#8217;t realize you needed to know&#8230;and, particularly, who else doesn&#8217;t know it yet. &#8220;Perhaps the good old fashioned niche is as personalized as we need to get. TechMeme and Digg are highly niche sites, and thus are tailored to the specific interests of their users without getting so personalized as to break the bonds of community.&#8221; Succeeding as a startup in online media is also part first-mover. It&#8217;s part aesthetics. It&#8217;s part who you know and who you adopt into your friends and family. It&#8217;s also part editorial voice. I think Findory is an interesting mirror into my interests, but I&#8217;ve found that I&#8217;m not an interesting filter through which to view the world. There are probably few individuals who are. Similarly, what I liked most about Megite was seeing other people&#8217;s personalized news, not so much my own. But there are many communities and concepts that filter the world of information in ways that are interesting and also matter in a particular context. The filter (or media brand) represents the community and gives meaning to the information. This is publishing 101 stuff, and it applies online as much as it does off. Succeeding in online media is also part fashion. Findory never reached a critical mass of coolness. It&#8217;s hard to say what difference the fashion sense of the engineers and founders at startups makes in their ability to succeed, but decision-making at any company is driven at least in part by intuition, moreso at startups. Without keen intuition for market forces or at least your customers, your efforts will be out of synch with the world you live in. Related to all this, I suspect the personalized My New York Times and similar publisher offerings are going to fail or at least prove lackluster for similar reasons. None of them are first-mover offerings. None of them are pretty or engaging. None of them provide a community filter that makes information relevant and interesting. They lose the editorial voice of their parent. They&#8217;re too hard to setup. And they just aren&#8217;t cool. On the other hand, publishers can take the behavior data their readers are generating on the site and apply that in a way that surfaces interesting information or in fact connects them to similar people directly. TechMeme is a pureplay in this space, but it&#8217;s applicable at any media site. Greg Linden probably has great software to make that possible for all publishers&#8217; sites. I&#8217;m also curious to see how publishers pick up on socially engaging widgets like MyBlogLog and the new ways to build community within your domain. I like how Scott framed up the issue in this quote: &#8220;Despite all the hype about the &#8220;user in control,&#8221; purely personalized news may be too much control, a slippery slope that leads to solipsism. The proverbial &#8220;water cooler&#8221; is symbolic of our fundamental need to share the news, to validate our experiences by sharing them with others. How can there be &#8220;conversation&#8221; if we’re all talking about something different?&#8221; Nice. Megite Adds News River Megite, a site that like TechMeme and TailRank tracks what's hot in the blogosphere, has added a flowing River of News that you can drill into by topic. From Search Marketing Blogs Update 011207 It&#8217;s time for this week&#8217;s update on search marketing blogs. Again, there has been a large number of requests and also quite a few new blogs discovered by trolling blogrolls and MyBlogLog. Not all the new blogs we learned about this week will be added today. There are just too many. We&#8217;ll try to moderate the number of new blogs posted to about 30 per week. Please note: While we wait until Friday to post all the new blogs reviewed for the week, the RSS feeds for new blogs are added throughout the week. ie, the OPML file is updated just about daily. On the suggestion of Michael Gray, I contacted megite.com and they&#8217;ve created a very nice &#8220;river of news&#8221; format of all the feeds. Check out the custom megite for toprankblog. Thank you to Matthew for that and I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing how we can customize. This week&#8217;s tips to bloggers! Include a descriptive tag line near your blog&#8217;s logo or title. Give readers something to quickly understand the purpose of your blog Give your blog some identity. Use your name, a catchy blog name, logo, unique design.

Sponsored By: 25 tips for marketing your blog Novità per El Pais, La Stampa e Megite Ieri La Stampa ha inaugurato un nuovo sito, oggi è la volta di El Pais. E' il momento della risoluzione 1024, cosa in cui La Stampa esagera un po', e tra in grandi italiani resta ormai solo il Corriere della Sera fedele alla risoluzione 800 (+ modulo pubblicitario). Da notare come su El Pais, con ampio spazio, i blog sono in primo piano. Novità anche per Megite, il memetracker, che ha aggiunto nuove sezioni (food, moda, scienza) e migliorato alcune parti tecniche che rendono più veloce il sito e aggiungono nuove fonti nell'indice. Link: La Stampa, El Pais, Megite. P.S. Da oggi a fine mese gli aggiornamenti saranno saltuari e poco approfonditi, causa doppio impegno editoriale in scadenza. Disruptive Dialogue Podcast #3 - 03/20/2007 (also posted at DisruptiveDialogue.com) The third episode of the Disruptive Dialogue podcast is now available.  This one was recorded in Bow, NH and is 27:38.  You can download this podcast as an MP3 or subscribe to the RSS feed to make sure you never miss an episode. Topics: 00:34 - Opening & Introduction 04:40 - OnePipe by Marjolein Hoekstra 06:47 - John Kerry, Bloggers, and FOIA 09:10 - Jonathan Bernstein, I-Reporters, and Keeping the Wolves at Bay 12:27 - Interview with Ian Muir about South by Southwest & AOL 16:33 - Memetrackers 24:03 - Listener comment from Sara Adams on podcast quality 25:29 - Wrap-up & preview of next episode Show Notes: OnePipe Keeping the Wolves at Bay by Jonathan Bernstein UserPlane by AOL John Kerry press release on FOIA The Big Memetracker Roundup by Stan Schroeder at the Frantic Industries blog Ian Muir's blog Memetrackers mentioned: Blogniscient, Buzzfeed, Chuquet, Daily Rotation, Feedable, Megite, Tailrank, Techmeme PRobecast by Topaz Partners South by Southwest To Comment: Leave your comments here Call the Disruptive Dialogue comment line: (206) 424-4733 Email me your comments in MP3 format (no more than 2 minutes and 5 MB, please) Rating the Memetrackers: Redux 13 months ago Read/WriteWeb published a review post about the leading "meme trackers" - i.e. sites that cluster and filter the latest tech news. My conclusion at that time was that Techmeme came out on top, closely followed by Tailrank and Topix.net. My summary back then: "All in all, Memeorandum still comes out trumps in terms of clustering layout, speed and relevancy. Topix.net and TailRank are strong services too. Also I suspect Chuquet and Megite will pick up the pace once they've enhanced their interfaces. A very interesting space to watch!" Later in 2006 I also compared TailRank to Techmeme. But it's over a year since the original analysis and so time for an update. I have to admit that personally I've stuck with TechMeme, although I check out the others every now and then too. To do a proper update would take me at least a few hours of research. Luckily Stan Schroeder over at franticindustries has saved me the trouble, by publishing an in-depth overview of the Memetracker market, circa 2007. Stan covers 8 memetrackers: Blogniscient, Buzzfeed, Chuquet, Daily Rotation, Feedable, Megite, Tailrank, Techmeme. Stan's conclusion is that Techmeme, Tailrank and Megite are the leading three memetrackers, because "they have more features, index more sites, and bring the news faster than the rest.". He also noted that Daily Rotation (a customizable news aggregator) and Buzzfeed (adds its own editorial commentary) "are a bit different than others". Stan did a little test at the end of his article, which pretty much shows the current state of the memetrackers: "While I was writing this article, a very important news item broke: Viacom’s lawsuit against Google. I was following the technology sections of all 8 memetrackers. Techmeme picked up the news first, soon to be followed by Megite and Tailrank. Daily Rotation and Feedable followed soon, while Chuquet was yet a bit more slower, and Blogniscient hasn’t picked up this news item even several hours after it broke out." My experience has also been that Techmeme is usually the fastest, although I've taken to referring to the top stories on there as "Techmeme scrums" - because when a top story breaks, there is a massive 'me too' pile on from tech blogs. It's the same on TailRank and Megite - and this trend is getting a little tiresome. Why? Because the business type stories (like the current Cisco-Webex one dominating the news) tend to obscure the real web tech stories too much... but that's just me. This is why I supplement my Techmeme diet with the likes of Topix.net Tech (not profiled by Stan) and my personal RSS filter feeds, which give me more variety and largely keep the 'me too' news blogs out of my results. Also I get a great daily fix of headlines from OriginalSignal, which has a good variety of pages now. What do you think of the memetrackers and which is your favorite? Media Consumption Diet Jeremiah Owyang has started a meme on personal media consumption and asked that others join in...Media 2.0 Workgroup members Chris Saad and Peter Kim,have posted responses and Brian Keith, Martin McKeay, Zac Echola also. So here goes, following Jeremiah's format: (most used at top, least used at bottom)Web: Primarily, I use RSS via Netvibes which has virtually replaced Bloglines. I also run Touchstone which keeps me alerted to the feeds and keywords that I am most interested in paying attention to. Although I get the feeds from  memeorandum and Megite on Netvibes and feeds from Techmeme on my own blog, I check the sites several times a day to see who is talking about what.Also, news from email alerts from Simply  Headlines which sends me to the site if interested.Communication: Email access on my laptop or on my Blackberry Pearl. IM via Skype is mostly always on. Occasionally I will get email at MySpace or Facebook.I am not quite climbing the Twitter adoption curve.I found it interesting that of the Media Consumption posts that I have seen thus far, only Chris Saad (MySpace) and Brian Keith (Facebook) even mention those social networks as a source of communication...the only social network receiving much attention thus far has been Twitter. TV: This part of the diet has direct influence on the one above...I keep the TV running (TV so no music) in the background with the computer in the foreground.meJeremiah says this is a Gen Y thing....as a Boomer, I might have to say that it may characterize that demo,  but I think it also characterizes the media addicted, accross generations.Fox News is on as background virtually all day when I am not on the phone. Old habits die hard. In the evenings, I switch around between MSNBC, Comedy Central,Leno, Conan and the like. If I remember to watch, I like Boston Legal and House.Books: One of my former life's pleasures, less so now regretably. Rarely read fiction since that was a bedtime activity when that had a more regular nightime schedule. I have an ADD reading style, with a number of books in various stages of being read.Newspapers: Wall Street Journal, mostly online is about the only regular read.  Get email updates from the New York Times, Boston Globe and the Christian Science Monitor. Other MSM newspaper news comes from search on a topic or links.Movies: Another evolving consumption habit which for the past two years has become glaringly obvious at Academy Awards time...I see most movies on cable on demand or DVD, not in theaters so I tend to be slightly behind. Like Chris, I feel like I currently have a shorter attention span than sitting still for a two hour movie would allow, though I don't attribute it to TV habits. I attribute it in my case more to continuous partial attention.

Megite Personalized News Aggregator Improves Management Options Megite, an online news aggregator created by Matthew Chen, which I have highlight previously has improved its personalized news aggregator, My Megite by allowing users the ability to manage their own feed reading lists via an OPML file. Megite previously allowed users to create their own personalized news aggregator by sending in an OPML feed reading file in to Megite via email which was a very manual process. Though a great idea the previous process did not scale well as it created management bottleneck as users were not allowed to make their own OPML file updates. The new My Megite has eliminated this bottleneck. You can see mine here: Frank Gruber's Megite Personal News Aggregator. Megite & TailRank Rank Top Web Videos With loads of video to sort through on the web Megite and TailRank both launched new video features today (December 27, 2006) which present a quick view of the most popular videos of the day. Megite, the news aggregator highlighted recently for its personal aggregator improvements, has added a feature to help point out popular videos with Megite Video. According to a post on the Megite blog Megite Video: "...crawls hundreds of thousands of blogs for links to video on more than 20 video sharing services such as YouTube, Google Video, MySpace, Daily Motion, Metacafe, Ifilm, Vimeo, Break, Revver, Grouper, Bolt, Yoqoo, 6Rooms, and more." Megite Video ranks and displays videos based on popularity by taking the following factors into account: The importance of a blog The popularity of a blog The number of blogs that are discussing a video Megite founder, Matthew Chen, explained over email that he hopes to eventually be able to leverage user metrics such as click through data as a passive input into the Megite Video ranking system. Additionally, Megite is investigating active inputs in the form of voting for popular videos but is aware that spam prevention will have to be part of an effective implementation. TailRank, a product highlighted previously on Somewhat Frank, rolled out video tracking components via the TailRank Video channel to present popular video contents of the web. Similar to Megite, TailRank 2.1 uses links as a key component to video popularity. For other perspectives on the Megite and TailRank video products please check out these articles on: TechCrunch and SpashCast. Bottom-line: Megite and TailRank both offer great products for a quick view of the most popular online videos based primarily on linking. I hope both these products continue to evolve and improve their respective video popularity algorithms. TailRank Opens Service As A Platform TailRank, a popular blog news organizer that competes with TechMeme and Megite, has opened up its back end and will provide the service as a platform to application developers who would like to add a blog index and ranking service. The new service is called Spinn3r and goes live at around noon today. Rumor is it already powers Gnoos, which we covered last June. Spinn3r indexed 1 million blogs. They are charging a monthly licensing fee per thousand blogs crawled, indexed, and delivered. Crunch Network: CrunchBoard because it’s time for you to find a new Job2.0 Megite’s Alternative Way to Rank Popular Videos Megite, a blog aggregation news service ( see here for a comparison of Megite to its competitors) has launched a videos vertical that tracks popular videos in an interesting way. Unlike the Digg video channel, which ranks videos based solely on user voting, Megite’s ranking is based on what vidoes blogs are linking to or embedding into their sites (the same way Megite tracks other news). An authoritative blog linking to a video can drive it up in the rankings, as will a large number of less authoritative blogs. The “freshness” of the video is also important (meaning Megite is tracking newly uploaded videos). Megite is tracking 20 video sites, although understandably YouTube is currently dominating the results. This is a good way to rank videos because it suffers from less potential voting fraud than, say, Digg. If an established blog links to a video there’s a very good chance it is a real vote for that video. Taking aggregate statistics from tens of thousands of blogs will tend to yield very good results. More from Rex Dixon, who also links to an interview he recently conducted with Megite founder Matthew Chen. Crunch Network: CrunchGear drool over the sexiest new gadgets and hardware. Megite Tags: video, youtube, techcrunch, web2.0, web_2.0 Tech Crunch: Interesting Timing: TailRank Launches Video Today Too TailRank and competitor Megite are fighting for second place behind blog news leader, TechMeme. It&#8217;s not surprising that both companies are expanding into ranking popular videos, too. But it&#8217;s surprising that both companies launched their products on the same day. We covered Megite earlier, and then received an email from TailRank founder Kevin Burton that they have just launched their product as well. The basic idea is the same - TailRank is analyzing videos that blogs link to and embed on their sites, and then determine what videos are popular based on the aggregate weighted statistics. Bigger blogs get more weight, but smaller blogs get a vote, too. Competition is a great thing, and these companies are competing hard. Megite even recently took a swipe at TailRank based on recent Alexa stats, here. As to video, which product is better? Well, they look about the same, although I give a slight nudge to Megite based on on the interface, which shows more videos on a page.

It appears that they've inserted my blog into one they're following in the "Technology>InternetTech" category and this one is moving up in the voting. While it delights me my blog is getting hit and I'm sure to see a corresponding spike in ongoing readership, I'm puzzled about something and maybe someone out there has already done the analysis. What puzzles me is blog ranking and the algorithms that drive TechMeme, Tailrank, Topix, Megite and now MySpace News...and why mine is often called out on Megite and Tailrank as a key post but only as a follow-on post (as one of many in the conversation under some higher ranking blogger) in TechMeme. My interest isn't in how to artificially alter or accelerate my rank and thus my readership...it's growing just fine on its own. My goal isn't ranking but rather being a material and important voice in the blogosphere surrounding all the issues we're all driving forward on. Perhaps the two aren't mutually exclusive but are mutually reinforcing and I probably should be chasing rank and readership? But how do these sites each determine how to rank, whom to rank, and what's important? Where is the full disclosure so we readers can ensure that someone paying for rank isn't artificially high up? In any event, it seems like many sites emerging -- like Megite, Tailrank and now MySpace News -- are driving deeper into the blogosphere to uncover content worthy of adding to their categories. I had a sense that if I just kept driving forward on my mission and purpose -- Guidance, Insight and Ideas in a Time of Accelerating Change -- that people who might be interested would eventually find me. I've had the huge, gignormous spikes in readership after doing Apple fanboy-like posts or some other ones with more mass appeal. Experiencing this has given me a feel for how I could game the system -- if I was so inclined -- to get readers, but I had a model that you might find a bizarre reference for a blogging, midlife white guy with a propeller on his beanie: Oprah Winfrey. When Jerry Springer, Jenny Jones and other near-porn-like (or National Enquirer-like) shows were garnering eyeballs like crazy, she had a choice: join 'em or take the high road and focus on the really important stuff. She did, kept going, people seeking authenticity and meaning found her, the others downtrended dramatically and the good stuff remained. Being found by people authentically seeking is reward enough and moves my own agenda forward as well as makes my contributions seem worthwhile. Though I'll remain curious about rankings and how these blogosphere trackers bring posts forward for mass market consumption, I'm determined to continue on my path adding value to the conversation wherever I can and thus learning more in these conversations than I could ever hope to contribute. So if you have any knowledge about rankings or pointers to it, let me know. Also be heartened that there is A LOT of good stuff out there and it's growing. iPhone: *Any* Publicity is Good Publicity? Apple has hit a nerve with the iPhone. Not only several billion dollars in additional market cap happened within hours of the announcement as the stock leapt in value, but the meme trackers (Techmeme, Megite, Tailrank) exploded with blog conversations about this device as did the mainstream press. I haven't seen this level of conversation on these trackers ever before which is both interesting and potentially troubling to Apple...but maybe worth the publicity? The conversation has shifted....dramatically....and the device has only been in the hands of laughingly few people! The concern is over the closed nature of the device itself (only Apple will approve which apps are loaded on the iPhone), the demands to take down a faux iPhone user interface skin for Windows Mobile and Palm, the iPhone trademark issue (Cisco allegedly has one) and whether it's actually worth $500. All of this just makes me chuckle. Even if Apple used all of its cash on hand (more than $9B as of 9/30/06) they couldn't buy this kind of publicity! Long masters of event marketing, Steve Jobs has often been held up as a model for how to launch products (BusinessWeek, April 2006). In my view, ONE sentence in that BusinessWeek article above is what EVERYONE is missing: "Steve Jobs does not sell bits of metal; he sells an experience." THAT is the whole point to everything discussed above: the closed nature to the iPhone; the demands to take down the interface; the trademark issue. It's all about the experience. If you think about the iPod innovation it wasn't just the device itself (which most people focus on when trying to duplicate the iPod success in their own industry) but rather the ENTIRE EXPERIENCE from managing your music on your computer, to buying it online, to subscribing to podcasts (though I think they've made it sucky to do so and I'm NOT happy about it) to managing the much-hated Digital Rights Management (DRM) in a fairly decent way so as to make the disrupted music industry reluctantly play ball. People don't appreciate how many companies are lined up to crush Apple and ensure the iPhone fails. The mobile telephony companies don't want Jobs to succeed as it will obviate much of their crappy attempts at video and music downloads; the device manufacturers with weak software on their smartphones now have to play MAJOR LEAGUE catch up; Microsoft and Adobe are obviously troubled since both don't want to see a mobile device succeed as a gateway since they can't play; and the ecosystem of developers and sophisticated users (most tech bloggers) who want to maximize the device itself and extend it for fun and profit can't play either. But the only way to mainstream sophisticated technology at the level of sophistication like the iPhone is to make the overall experience seamless, easy and fun. It's what user interface guidelines did in the early Mac...making all applications adhere to certain conventions so users would have a predictable method of working applications (for those of you pre-graphical user interface like me, you can't imagine what a world where every app "quit" in its own way; printed with obscure commands in every app; and so forth was to a typical user...damn frustrating it was!). It's what iLife has achieved in spades as normal humans can now edit video, audio, photos and make DVD's. The troubling thing for Apple is that there are MONTHS for buzz and opinion to turn negative and pissing off bloggers could turn nasty. That would be bad but again, Apple is hyperfocused on the experience people will have with the iPhone and positive and negative publicity both builds buzz. The interesting thing to observe will be the balancing act Apple takes with keeping momentum building. The Possibilities of iReader by Syntactica (and its underlying engine) Was delighted to spend time today at the Minnesota headquarters of Syntactica talking about today's release of iReader. Henry Neils CEO, Ward Johnson VP Sales and Fred Sweeny CEO of Assessment.com (a sister company) met with me to talk about the launch. Instead of doing a review (since there's already a great one done by ReadWriteWeb), I'd instead like to do what I love to do best: toss out ideas and tell you why this company and their offering needs to be looked at very, very closely if you're a Web 2.0 developer or care about knowledge, innovation and ideas -- and why the timing couldn't be better for them to have leapt into the Web 2.0 game. First off, World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners Lee has been the top evangelist for his concept of the Semantic Web. Having data-wrapped-around-the-data you need to obtain -- so machines can help us decide what's relevant and contextual to what we're seeking and deliver it to us and be somewhat self-aware -- hasn't worked since no one seems to be participating. The Semantic Web is a lofty and worthwhile goal, but just like a bunch of smart people trying to determine what the taxonomies need to be within which information should reside, the Web, blogosphere and sites like Flickr and TagWorld have instead embraced the much messier tagging concept and allowed people to create folksonomies instead...and it's exploded in use. Guess what? People don't organize. We throw stuff in closets and kick stuff under the bed when company comes. We search for filing systems and buy millions of organizers that often go unused. In today's tsunami of content that is accelerating because it can (storage costs falling, bandwidth increasing, computing horsepower growing more robust by the year) and coupled with (OH MY GOD!) even MORE coming with all the user generated content...there is no human way to gather, track or even hope to match data to data and stay abreast of some concept or create, innovate or invent new things. Today I track hundreds of blogs and dozens of traditional news sites. I emptied my news aggregator this morning before breakfast by skimming articles and collecting the ones I choose to delve into later on...but there are now 596 articles there for me to read skim. But what if there are jewels in the areas I care about posted by a brand new blogger that I don't track? What if that blogger is a Professor at University of Oxford and is the world authority on a subject I care deeply about? iReader is a web browser plug-in that can quickly abstract a hyperlink on a page and tell you what the concepts are on the linked-to page so you don't have to go there...or choose to leap out to it. Sounds simple and it's cool for certain, but what I learned about today was more about what's going on under-the-covers which, most interestingly, is available to developers via their API... ...and this is where it gets interesting.Since I can't possibly look at all the blogger's out there, I've become quite fond of the memetrackers like Techmeme, Tailrank, Megite and Topix. They really help me stay abreast of the top conversations in the blogosphere -- and find bloggers that I might end up adding to my aggregator if they add a unique perspective -- but for the same reason I'm not a big fan of Digg or Newsvine, I'm more interested in what thought leaders post vs. what everyone happens to think. But memetrackers' algorithms look at blog juice: how many bloggers link to a blogger, are doing trackbacks to a given post, and I'm not sure (but would guess) that there are additional weights given to major publications, certain authorities, government figures or senior executive bloggers so a particular post bubbles up to the top on a memetracker page. So let's get back to that Professor at Oxford...the world authority. If she just started blogging and had zero blog juice -- or had yet to be added to the list by the memetrackers -- how would I know that the world's authority was weighing in on a concept I cared deeply about? The answer is I wouldn't unless I happened upon her blog by searching in, say, Technorati or even searching on some string in Google. The problem is that these are brute force methods and I've never been able to discover new ideas, new perspectives or informative thought leadership with just search. So how could Syntactica help? In their "How it Works" section under "Developers" it says in part:Unlike conventional search-and-retrieval programs, Syntactica does not simply match strings of letters to other strings of letters in an index. It analyzes concepts in the context of the sentence structures in which the words reside. To take a simple example, a concept will have a different weight if it contains a noun than if it contains a modifier. Syntactica takes into account far more complex aspects of English grammar than the part of speech in which the words are used to determine if a concept is relevant or not.Concepts. All ideas start with concepts and there's just too much information out there -- and more being delivered by the second -- and humans can't keep up. If what I talked about in this post is true, then a tool like Syntactica could help us make sense of it all:Disruption, creation and innovation spring forth from seeing unmet needs, patterns, mixing together elements from multiple sources, creating new and innovative products and services from unique combinations or methods and yes, accidents. According to Pink, high value innovation will be delivered by those who can see and think differently (needless to say that I found Pink's book pretty validating on how my brain is wired and that I'm not just some guy going off on tangents all the time...and with far too many Categories on his blog).How can we see things differently and help kickstart creativity and innovation through enhanced conceptual understanding? If you have an unlimited amount of time to search (and even know how to find what is out there) there's a possibility you could locate all of the relevant thought leaders around a specific concept, parse all their writings and try to match concepts. This is a classic forest-or-the-trees problem that developers and product creators love to tackle. Especially when it comes to inventing the future, it's really, really hard to stand back and first look at concepts and those of us out here learning, innovating, and trying to move forward by mixing and matching concepts to solve problems need help. MASHUPS Have you seen the mashup of Google Maps, the Chicago Crime database at ChicagoCrime.org? They put the two together with a Web front-end...and the result is a very high value mashup that's of real value to the citizens of Chicago. The Internet-as-a-platform is growing stronger by the day. More and more companies are offering API's into their core functionality. Many of us have marveled at the explosion of widgets that tap into the API's of hundreds of Web hosted application/service. We also know about the enabling tools at our fingertips that allow each of us to become a sort of editor/publisher/journalist to gather relevant content for our audience to view. Some examples include Squidoo (create a lens but it's keyword-centric) and Rollyo (roll your own search engine for the sites you want your readers to search within) but they're brute force in their approach. Imagine now building Web application that points the Syntactica engine at a search engine or other body of knowledge and returns the key concepts indexed by site! With other approaches, you'd get all the Oxford Professor's posts potentially...even the one when baby barfed on her sweater that isn't germane to her world authority on the subject in which you care deeply. Imagine building the next great memetracker that actually tracks the meme (or cultural concept) itself instead of just the conversation led by the one with the most blog juice. I'd love to have a concept tracker that would let me input a concept and let me see EVERY post out there -- including by the Professor at Oxford who is brand new to blogging -- summarized, abstracted and displayed allow further refinement of the concept itself or just allow me to see how many people care about the concept or what the memes around surrounding it. After my time with these guys today, I believe that the imagination of developers is what's going to explode use of Syntactica. While iReader is great and they have a nice roadmap of tweaks and features on the way -- as well as many of their own ideas to expand the footprint -- you're going to be hearing alot from these folks...especially as developers grab hold of this engine. A memetracker for blog conversations Mashable and Megite have announced that they're launching Mashtracker, the first "single blog news tracker." From the announcement: Mashtracker is the first algorithmic news tracking service created for a single blog. Mashable and Megite realized that there had to be a better way to explore the conversations around blog posts - particularly for large blogs - than the typical tools such as trackbacks and pingbacks. What’s more, blog readers may be short of time and unwilling to scroll through many pages of posts to discover the top story of the day. Mashtracker solves both problems simultaneously: it allows Mashable readers to focus in on the most discussed stories of the day, while also providing far more visibility for those blogs that make reference to Mashable stories, or related stories around the blogosphere. It discovers the most-discussed articles on the Mashable blog by tracking inbound links and other variables, pushing the hottest headlines to the top of the page. Mashable sees the Mashtracker as a way to build a community hub for social blogs. What a Great Idea - Megite : The Intelligent RSS Reader I have been blogging for a while now, and along the way folks have asked how it is that I am able to post so many links from so many different sources on a daily basis. After explaining the ins and outs of rss feeds and subscribing to them etc... I have found that it is just easier to point them to one of my favorite tools Megite. Megite is best described as an intelligent RSS reader in that it can be customized to your taste in a very easy and lasting way. For those of you that are Bloglines users or any other aggregator service for that matter, search for and utilize the export OPML featurethat most have and email it over to Megite, Megite creates the personalized version for you. Megite fetches the OPML file every time when it runs, so the changes in your OPML file should automatically reflect in your personalized Megite. That's it no muss no fuss. That is just one aspect of the service that I love, my very own dynamic feed. I also love their River of News feature - a constant flow of what's new and interesting. There are also categories to explore, like my favorites Gossip, Entertainment and quiet as its kept ( shhh) "sex", each with the most up to date links to be found. There is an excellent interview with Megite's Matt Chen that can be found here at The Mu life that really gets into the inner working of Megite and how it does what it does ... so well. As a blogging tool I find Megite indispensable for finding good ideas and great links pertinent to the themes and topics I find interesting. Check it out! Tags: Intelligent RSS Reader Newsreader meme social network OPML Class Warfare And The Blogging A List I feel the need to chime in on this, even though it&#8217;s a rather odd subject: Whether a blogging &#8220;A-List&#8221; exists and whether there is some conspiracy to keep lesser bloggers in the doldrums. You might consider the former &#8220;blue collar&#8221; class bloggers. It seems the blogging D through Z list uses this mythical A-list as a justification for gaming or singing up for nefarious, link-destructive schemes like PayPerPost or 2000 Bloggers to get ahead. I commented a bit on Tony Hung&#8217;s Deep Jive Interests (I suggest checking out the comments there) but here are some further thoughts, using my own experience as an example. This Webomatica blog is proof positive that you can start a tech blog from nowhere and get ahead. I&#8217;m nowhere near A-list (and never will be) but am somewhere in the B-C list territory. Occasionally, my posts show up on Techmeme and I&#8217;m around the 20,000 level at Technorati. You can read about all that here. And this is after less than a year of &#8220;serious&#8221; blogging. First, I do think Jason Calacanis has it partly right. A lot of getting ahead in blogging is to put in the hard work. I would add these tips for anybody looking to move forward in the blogosphere: Blog often. You have to blog at least once a day if not more, in the beginning. I&#8217;m still shooting for three posts a day. Figure out a niche and stick to it. Learn the technical stuff. Get up to speed on all the means of aggregation to your disposal, Feedburner, Technorati, pinging, trackbacks. Read other people&#8217;s blogs regularly. Check out Techmeme, Megite, and Tailrank. Find some blogs you like and do what they do. Blogging in a vacuum sucks (no pun intended). Comment on other blogs. Follow the golden rule. If you want blogs to link to you, link to blogs. It will seem one-sided at first but we all start somewhere. Read up on how to write. Meaning, how to write a good headline, how to make a post interesting, how to hold people&#8217;s attention. You can&#8217;t just blast poorly structured thoughts out there in rough draft form and expect anybody to take you seriously. Write posts that you want to read. A big YouTube link and one line saying &#8220;This is cool! Check it out!&#8221; pisses me off. So I refrain from doing that as much as possible - write actual content. Figure out why you&#8217;re blogging. For money? Attention? So you can be seen as the expert on aluminum siding? Don&#8217;t waste time on tactics that conflict with your purpose. Set some goals for yourself. Right now I&#8217;m trying to crack 20,000 in Technorati and get 1,000 uniques a day. That&#8217;s what is important to me; and I don&#8217;t worry about other blogs &#8220;keeping&#8221; me from doing it. But&#8230; that said, do I think a blogging A-List exists? You bet I do. Someone famous like say, Robert Scoble, or Leo Laporte, can blog about clipping their toenails and get links and comments up the wazoo. But are they out to &#8220;get&#8221; all us less connected bloggers? Heck no. Do they have some conspiracy to not link to us? No. But do I care? Not really. I think about the A-list this way: Will I ever, in my first life, hang with Donald Trump, be a self-made millionaire, or hang out with Parker Posey? I&#8217;d lay some safe odds, no. Do I care? Does it ruin my day? No. So why would I expect with blogging would it be any different? As far as blogging goes, I&#8217;m happy where I&#8217;m at right now. Everything else is icing on the cake. As I&#8217;ve often said, I&#8217;m not trying to start a business here and quit my day job. I&#8217;m just having fun and every once in a while, someone comments on a post and that&#8217;s awesome. For example, never in my wildest dreams did I imagine Mark Andreessen would comment on this blog, and one day: wow.

I&#8217;m also testing it out in my feed reader, and as a concept I&#8217;m liking it. In practice it needs a little tweaking, the same stories keep popping up all day even though I read them. It looks like this is happening when they add more sources to the conversation. It&#8217;s a bit odd. I&#8217;ve never been a big fan of the &#8220;river of news concept&#8221;. I like my stuff organized in neat little compartments, the mish-mash of unrelated topics is well distracting. However as a vertical aggregator I think it&#8217;s one to watch.

Feed Reader Suggestion I&#8217;m at my wits end trying to find a feed reader that works for me and am looking for some suggestions. In the beginning I used bloglines, but they delay and frequent outages made me drop them. I upgraded to sage for firefox which solved my delay problem but made saving things for later reading problematic. I recently tried Google reader (more about that soon) which solved my saving problem, but we were back to the bloody delay/latency issue again. I then switched to RSS Popper for Outook. It gave me the ability to flag for later and had no latency, however old feeds were hanging around and not dissaperaring, and the thing was painfully slow. So here&#8217;s what I&#8217;m looking for: Zero Delay / Latency, it&#8217;s hard to be a bleeding edge blogger when your on a delay Ability to flag, save, star posts for later reading. Sometimes I just want to fly through the news make sure I&#8217;m not missing something and come back to the non time sensitive stuff later Old stuff has to disappear from the regular view, but let me change the settings and view them if I want to. It has to be fast, I have about 150 feeds in the reader and it should be able to check them all without taking too long and slowing down my computer (I have a 3.2 GHZ Pentium 4 with hyperthreading and 1 GB of Ram) It has to be free, I&#8217;m not paying a bloody cent for the thing All right jumping the gun a little here actually Google reader came damn close to giving me everything, it was the damn latency issue which drove me batty. Normally I don&#8217;t recommend greasemonkey but for Google reader it&#8217;s mucho better. Check out Mihai Parparita&#8217;s Blog. He&#8217;s a Google employee who I think works on the reader but not sure, and pushes out some kick ass google-unofficial greasemonkey scripts (see Matt I can say nice things about Google). Lastly I dropped the folks at Megite.com an OPML file and they built a custom channel for me (see mgray) which gives me my own &#8220;news channel&#8221; based on the feeds in my file and feeds in their library. Now before you go thinking yeah Gray you get all the perks cause you know you&#8217;re like a blogging superhero, put it to rest, because they do it for lots of folks and will do it for you too, just follow the instruction on the right hand side under &#8220;my megite&#8221;. PS If anyone knows a way to hack around the latency issue let me know, I promise I want tell anyone Tags: blogs, feed reader, feedreader, sage, firefox, google reader, megite Graywolf’s SEO Blog the Year in Review 2006 Since it&#8217;s the last week in the year I thought I&#8217;d share some stats from this blog with. Now lets take a look at some numbers here&#8217;s a shot of the number of visitors: That dip in March is do to a data loss, not a traffic drop, so I&#8217;d estimate the traffic falls pretty much right in between February and April. Looking at the Alexa data we see a massively spikey graph. I started the year at around 40,000 and ended at about 7,000. I&#8217;m 99.9% sure that I&#8217;m not really that popular and it&#8217;s the webmaster effect. Next up are my feed burner stats. Currently it fluctuates between 1,100 and 1,700. The peaks come when I post multiple times per day or have 5 or 6 posts strung together in a row. The drops come when I take a few days to actually rest or do some real work Next up is a look at my referrers, with the obvious spammers filtered out. While Google is clearly sending me the majority of the traffic, all of the other sources combined is hardly something to ignore.

Picture Bait Ok I am so getting out ahead of the pack on this one and am taking full credit for coining the term and of picture bait. Sure people have been doing, maybe even in very deliberate and manipulative ways, but gosh darn it I&#8217;m giving it a name, and if science has taught us anything it&#8217;s that naming something gives you ownership. All right Gray what the heck are you talking about what is picture bait? If you follow any of the popular meme tracking sites you&#8217;ll quite often see pictures next to some of stories. Well here&#8217;s the thing many of them use the pictures from the original post, and if your picture is click enticing or in some other way visually interesting or stimulating you can get extra clicks because of it. Some of you with old world experience (thats print fer you youngsters) will say gee great Gray you discovered adding images gets you more attention, like duh welcome to advertising 102. Some of you newer folks are are now bemoaning the fact that the web 2.0 world will now become more visually &#8220;noisy&#8221; not something you needed in an area already overcrowded with people competing for attention. To which I say yep guilty on both accounts. A lot of the things that work really well in print, also work really well on the web. Growing up in New York it&#8217;s hard not to appreciate title bait being exposed to the New York Post on a regular basis. However lots of web folk missed that print/advertising education, so what was old is new to them. As far as competing for attention, if you haven&#8217;t realized you need to do it, and that it works, well then don&#8217;t ask me why the only people who read your blog are your mom and your sister. Sure once you&#8217;ve got a big audience you won&#8217;t need to get up and pull &#8216;crazy stunts&#8217; all the time and you can concentrate on creating great content, but when you&#8217;re fighting the uphill battle you do what you can to get noticed. For those of you who don&#8217;t think it works, did you say &#8220;what the heck is he doing&#8221; when you saw the picture on this page or in your feed reader, and did you pause for even the slightest amount of time because of it. Measurement or judgment David Maister has a thought provoking article on the future of management in which he proposes &#8216;we&#8217; need better means of making judgments rather than relying on the obsession most professionals have with measurement. David&#8217;s argument centres around the notion we intuitively &#8216;know&#8217; when things are working and when they&#8217;re not. I&#8217;d agree with that at a micro level. Elsewhere, Scoble talks about a different way of dealing with compensation - suggesting a much more open and collegiate approach to remuneration management. Kathy Sierra, questions where decisions get taken and what information is needed to make smart decisions in a world where information overload is a reality - even after you&#8217;ve filtered stuff to death or become reliant on aggregators like tech.memorandum, Megite or any of the others that are popping up. I&#8217;m torn on this. While I agree that measurement without context is pretty meaningless, I think we&#8217;re at risk of being tempted to throw out the baby with the bath water. Business intelligence is finally coming into the mainstream - witness CedarOpenAccounts and CODA, both of which recently acquired BI vendors. This coming hot on the heels of Sage launching Intelligent Reporting. Judgment measures can be brought to bear in the more detailed analysis of what&#8217;s happening in the business. Here, measures like customer and employee satisfaction could be introduced as complementary performance measures to more traditional measures like profitability. But I think Kathy Sierra goes a step too far when she says new hires should be based on &#8216;curiosity, ability to learn and passion,&#8217; rather than past experience. While I have no problem with incorporating some of Kathy&#8217;s criteria into a selection system, reliance on them as primary measures would qualify my dog to most middle management positions - if not that of top dog. Bottom line - measures should reflect the less tangible, softer issues implied by current trends in social software. They have huge value in contextualising results. But don&#8217;t expect Wall Street, The London Stock Exchange or the DAX to be that impressed with measures for which there is no empirically satisfying number and for which a compliance framework does not (yet) exist. Because at the end of the day, whether anyone likes it or not performance always gets reduced to a number in the minds of those interested in wealth creation. Technorati Tags: accounting, business intelligence, Microsoft, puppy, tech.memeorandum Tracking Comments from your News Reader I&#8217;d like some ability to track the comments I make on posts on blogs, and get notified when others reply. So I can continue to be a part of the conversation. Currently when I make a comment, I need to remember I did and on what post I commented and then continually return to the site to make sure I get the replies. It would be nice if I could track it from my news aggregator (RSS Bandit). I haven&#8217;t been able to find a solution that solves my problem. I looked a bit into CoComments but in order for that to work everybody has to use it, which is a kinda lame solution. However, I&#8217;ve been thinking about another solution. Some blogs utilize the CommentAPI, which adds XML tags to your feed for each post. The interesting tag is the wfw:commentRss which points to a url containing a feed for all the comments to that post. So how about making a plugin using the IBlogExtension (which RSS Bandit supports) that enables you to subscribe to these comment feeds? You could right click a post, select &#8220;Track comments&#8221; and the aggregator would subscribe to the feed placing it in a &#8220;Tracked Conversations&#8221; folder. This shouldn&#8217;t be hard to do, so I&#8217;ll probably do it some time, and blog the results. Other users of RSS Bandit discussed comment tracking on Dare Obasanjo&#8217;s blog regarding the Jubilee release. A couple of sites (TechMeme, Megite, and TailRank) are also mentioned, I should probably look into them&#8230; Shifting perspectives through other people's eyes Joey Piziali is a San Francisco artist who runs the Ping Pong Gallery in Potrero Hill.  I often swing by his place on the way home from the train station to see what weird stuff he has on display and to peak into a different world for a moment.  Last week I stopped by after wrestling with some of the ideas from Jon Udell's talk at Yahoo! hoping an alternate viewpoint could put my thoughts into perspective.  I asked Joey what he thought about the concept of lenses using examples like Squidoo and Megite.  Without having to explain feeds or OPML or anything about the underlying Web concepts, he chimed in with a reference to "Art and Physics", a book by Leonard Shlain.  The book is apparently about the breakthroughs that happen in art and physics prior to man's ability to verbalize a concept.  Picasso and Einstein, for example, were simultaneously investigating shifts in time and space.  Cubism offered a new language for people to understand alternate physical perspectives and time shifts in one visual composition.  Relativity opened up an alternate view on our understanding of physical location in time through a mathematical perspective.  They both defined in different ways a new dimension to our physical world without using words.Art and physics gave us completely different vantage points for understanding something we thought we had already defined, and suddenly the realm of possibility expanded dramatically.Similarly, many of the recent online experiences that are impacting our view of the collective mind have involved timeshifting concepts.  From feed readers to podcasting to TiVo, we are learning to understand the world along different moments in time, constantly swinging forward and backward without missing a beat. We've also learned how to understand shifts in space.  The hyperlink was the ultimate transport device in the beginning.  Now we're learning that our minds have different kinds of mapping capabilities for understanding the physical world.For example, Jon Udell talks about how he located a brief moment buried in a podcast segment that otherwise would have been a pain to locate again if he hadn't used a physical map to identify the place he saw when he heard the moment.  Similarly, I've been playing a particular playlist over and over on the train so that now I know where we are along the journey based on what point we're at in which track.  Without looking at my watch or the view out the window, I just know it.So, how did Joey make the connection to "Art and Physics" from my explanation of Megite?  He understood how people can be lenses to other worlds for the rest of us.As Umair Haque noted in his presentation on new media models (ppt), the club DJ is an interesting model for understanding what media could be online.  People learn which DJs create the best listening experience.  They learn that certain DJs can drive emotions and energy that they like.  Different DJs introduce new and interesting music they wouldn't find elsewhere.  The best club DJs, though, are not broadcasting a premeditated string of tracks.  The best DJs build a relationship with the clubbers in realtime.  They have alternate paths for getting to musical climaxes through different track selections which are driven by how the clubbers are reacting.  The clubbers vote with their feet.  They go nuts when the music is good.  They congregate at the bar if they are waiting for the string to improve.  The DJ waits for the right moment to kick the party into high gear and also knows when to ease off.Everybody can be a DJ on the Internet.  Everybody can apply their expertise with the things that they know and create a lens of the world for others to enjoy.  And other people can react to the view in ways that can help inform the lens itself.Joey is my primary lens to the art world.  My brother Mitch is my primary lens to new music.  Michael Arrington is my priamry lens to new dotcom startups.  Jon Udell is my primary lens to the Semantic Web.What I want to see are tools that can help me both pivot on those lenses easily and interact with them to help inform the lensmaker.  Fight4What–Life In Blogcn A blog for Finsbury Park N4 New park team plan a ‘poor use of resources’ « A blog for Finsbury ...
