Exploring the 2010 Web - http://scobleizer.com/2009...

My blog's new design is up: http://scobleizer.com -- more to come soon as I have more fun with my blog again now that it's hosted on a Rackspace server. Thank you to Vid Luther at Rackspace for helping me get it up and running.
- Robert Scoble
lovely Robert but not very unique. I just mean, isn't it based on a fairly popular wordpress theme?
- Zee.
Zee: yes, it is. It's the Thesis theme, which is very nice. Great SEO, great foundation. I will be adding more personality to it over time.
- Robert Scoble
I like it Robert. Simple yet elegant. :) I recomend trying out the wptouch plugin for a mobile-friendly layout.
- Daynah
Surprised you went with Thesis. I was beginning to think it was too old school now that everyone is using it.
- Dickie Maxx
I don't want it to be unique right now. I wanted to tear it back down to the basics. Plus, most people read me in an RSS reader anyway so the design doesn't matter that much (or you'll see my posts here on friendfeed or Twitter or Facebook and then you just want to be able to read the damn thing when you get there.
- Robert Scoble
It's very plain but professional, it makes you focus on the content more than anything else.
- Ahmed
Dickie: it works, which is why everyone is using it.
- Robert Scoble
i love the thesis theme, dont get me wrong but i just think someone of your stature should have something custom built or heavily modified to suit you. But that's just me
- Zee.
You sometimes produces some great matter worth reading it :) I like Robert too ;)
- Mohammad Abdurraafay
Zee: what, the friendfeed component isn't enough custom? Heheh.
- Robert Scoble
when i have some time, i'm going to put together a design for ya i reckon. Because although you're not a startup, you do deserve your own scobleized design...something that no one else has
- Zee.
Zee: I'm open to it. Now that I understand what's going on in all the pieces I'm more open to playing around.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: I like the general concept but I'd like to see a dark frame around the page, instead of the whitish one you tossed in. Second thing I'd use, is the "read-more" break that sends readers into the post instead of reading the entire article in the front page. IMO it's annoying to have such a long Home page.
- Nir Ben Yona
its very simple..yet very readable. I like it :)
- Saad Kamal
but don't get me wrong, i love the thesis theme - but i just think, as it is and considering who you are, you need something more unique
- Zee.
Hey, I love the whitespaces....that's what makes me read blogs....
- Manu Srikumar
Nir: see, that's where I disagree. Most of my readers come from Google Reader, twitter, friendfeed, or later, from search engines like Google. If you are coming there to read a single article you don't want to have to click through. I +HATE+ that about TechCrunch. I assumed they did it to get more page views. I don't care about page views.
- Robert Scoble
10 Ways to Customize Thesis and Enhance Your Blog http://tinyurl.com/dkgko8 ;)
- Ahmed
It works for what it does: "Inform, Educate and Markets Your Passion" dont worry about design, you can freak it out later on with a flashy design or light colors. Thesis is very flexible, easy and you can create some serious new layout in time. I read you via Google Reader, so most time, I never to blog site anyways, keep experimenting, Tiger Woods broke his great swing to create a new one too, congrats
- Jonathan Fleming
Zee: Interesting I would have thought the other way, because who he is that Robert doesnt nee something flashy. Me on the other hand I need something to wow people.
- Dickie Maxx
Clean design. Needs a mobile or iPhone viewing option. Also wondered if too many posts showing on frontpage (this might be a consequence if accessing through an iPhone).
- http://andrew-long.name
I use Thesis for most of my blogs - from highly customised http://www.websitedoctor.com/ to uncustomised http://sportcrazy.net/ - it's a great theme. I love using hooks
- Alastair McDermott
Nice and simple. But it must be way past your bed time. Get some sleep
- Tim Child
Hi Robert, i think it works for what you want it for, all your posts and all your updates and social spaces ... i think it works. The only thing i would say is that the social spaces section should fit inside the themes top lines. :)
- clairestokoe
By the way, if you didn't catch the Real Time Search panel discussion I linked to there, you should watch that. Very interesting stuff is cooking in that field.
- Robert Scoble
"by ADMIN", Robert? And the other articles say 'by on'! Aren't you supposed to be a tech guru? ;)
- Shéa Bennett
I like the clean look, but the page is LOOOOOONG and takes a while to load. Maybe a prolific (micro-)blogger like you should go with more of a "newspaper" (or is it "magazine"?) layout (a là Feedly) that highlights articles and topics better.
- Grey Drane
Shea: oh, crap. I forgot to log in as myself. Sigh.
- Robert Scoble
Grey: most of my posts aren't so long as this one.
- Robert Scoble
No, but the page shows a whole long list of full-text posts.
- Grey Drane
Mature, newspaperish, classic, back to basics. I do like your previous theme more; the one with you and the camera at the top.
- Tomi Itkonen
Grey: I just changed it to only display three posts. Thanks.
- Robert Scoble
Personally, I don't like lime green (any citrus colours) with that much white. Layout-wise, I like wider rather than narrow. Otherwise, fine. And the link in this post's title can't be found - http://scobleizer.com/2009...
- Mark H
Tomi: I'm going to introduce another banner photo. I will have Guy Kawaski shoot one of me on the Nimitz.
- Robert Scoble
Yeah, it loads fast enough for me but excerpts are usually preferable to full articles on the front page. They should be long enough to get your interested in seeing how it finishes, but loads of front-page text can be off-putting.
- Shéa Bennett
I'd love to see a live webcam of your browser in the right side - showing how you flip through content as you search for interesting ideas, play on FF, etc
- LPH™ and his dog P™
I'm still seeing 10 full-length articles on the front page (not three).
- Shéa Bennett
Robert: you got me right, I was referring to TC style, but I do hear ya on this one. That said, you should consider customizing the Thesis, I really liked the previous header [Edit: just noticed you're going to replace the banner photo after all].
- Nir Ben Yona
Shea: it should be three now, sorry. Mark, what link can't be found? It works here. Nir: I will bring back a header soon.
- Robert Scoble
No header please Robert. I like the simplicity.
- LPH™ and his dog P™
Looks simple and readable. But i read your blog posts in a rss reader
- Shuuro
Robert: It's the link in your original post - "Exploring the 2010 web" - I just get "Page not found" and "Sorry, no posts matched your criteria..."
- Mark H
Mark, weird. Here that links to this page which works for me: http://scobleizer.com/2009...
- Robert Scoble
Clean, streamlined, classic. With utmost respect to Shea, I prefer full articles on blogs with one primary author. I'm there to read a person's perspectives, not browse like a news service. The "by" is reading Admin, which I'd change to Robert...a little more personal. :) Other than that I like the simplicity. Oh, and also like the '2010 Web' theme. Indicates forward thinking without seeming too bandwagon-y
- AllisonWagda
Allison: I just changed that, should be working its way through the system now.
- Robert Scoble
Allison, you don't think a lot of text can be off-putting, particularly if the first (lead) article is of no interest, and you have to wade down a lot of text/paragraphs to find the next one? I think the excerpt should deliver the hook, and you click through to read more, personally. Each to their own, I guess. :)
- Shéa Bennett
Noticed you're posting as "Admin" -- should change that. Otherwise, looking great!
- Christopher Golda
Great, then no complaints from here (at least from my 3 a.m. blurry eyes)
- AllisonWagda
Its minimalistic and cool.
- Zoran Vuletic
Robert, weird indeed. Tried with three browsers (and IE7 didn't like that error page at all - theme not working right there) and they all report the same. Maybe a transparent proxy somewhere along my route to your site.
- Mark H
Nice and clean Robert I like it
- Jim Lyons
I wish the friendfeed Widget wrapped comments better and also showed my likes and comments on other people's posts.
- Robert Scoble
Oh, and I got rid of the green photo. Hope that makes someone happy. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Shea, you're totally right, It can be off-putting - especially if you're looking to browse headlines and have to scroll endlessly. Maybe my opinion depends on how often he expects to blog. If more than 2 per day, I could be swayed to your side. If 1-2 per day, I'd rather have it served straight than have to click through to read the rest :)
- AllisonWagda
nice clean design but right hand column would look even better if everything was the same width
- Anita Hunt
Allison: I would expect to be one to five times a day, with bias toward one post a day.
- Robert Scoble
The Facebook Connect feature by Sociable is a neat idea. I might have to look into that.
- Shéa Bennett
I'll try to fix the widths in the morning.
- Robert Scoble
I found it nice but a bit generic for u. Can I still push for an hand of a light gray on the background? Your profile pic, top right could be more "american". About this latter some Twitter background could inspire :-)
- Daniele Beta
Robert: It's possible to get those FF comments in the widget to wrap (as they do with the "likes") -- look at the CSS for .friendfeed.widget .feed .entry .comment
- Christopher Golda
Christopher: hmm, I gotta play with the CSS more. I tried playing around with it and couldn't get it to wrap right, but must not have nailed it.
- Robert Scoble
Then my vote, FWIW, is for keeping the continuous posts
- AllisonWagda
Robert: You have to "overwrite" FriendFeed's CSS for that selector -- specifically the white-space: nowrap. Hope that helps
- Christopher Golda
Displaying three to five posts is a good compromise.
- Nir Ben Yona
there's more about you than the stuff in the sidebar, your tv stuff, bldg 43 stuff, wikipedia link, etc. am not sure where is the best place to put all that
- Tweet Feeds
Tweet: yeah, I'll keep tweaking it and making it simpler/nicer. Thanks to you and everyone for all the feedback!
- Robert Scoble
how do you get the disqus comments to show up on FF?
- Tweet Feeds
The fact that "It's all you" (minus "your tv stuff, bldg 43 stuff, wikipedia link, etc." as noted above) without bells and whistles is a breath of fresh air in a world where we're marketed to death by brands comnsuming every inch of space. But isn't web simplicity so 1994? (I jest.)
- Kim
Kim: hey, they had SOME good ideas back in 1994. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Tweet: Disqus is one of the services that friendfeed supports. You've got to add the service to your profile. Click "add/edit" on top of your page.
- Robert Scoble
A rock solid header banner and a custom color detail (such as a border) is all you need to add to Thesis. Keep it white. Way to go!
- E-Advocate Network
Wait have you not gotten to sleep yet Robert?
- Mark Essel
Mark: right, I'm off to bed now. See ya!
- Robert Scoble
hehehe, gnight
- Mark Essel
Time for me to track down those widgets, too bad you can't have mini interactive friendfeed windows on your blog
- Mark Essel
Robert: quick fix for "Admin" posts in Wordpress: Add New User: Robert, full admin rights, logout, login as Robert, Delete User: Admin, assign all posts to user Robert, done. Buy @AMcDermott beer.
- Alastair McDermott
Alastair: I just renamed the Admin account to Robert Scoble. Seems to have worked. Did I miss one?
- Robert Scoble
Robert: that's another way to do it - your userid is still admin, my way would have removed that (security by almost zero obscurity) ;)
- Alastair McDermott
Robert: you also avoid having to buy me beer :(
- Alastair McDermott
I like the simplicity; white space is good. Now you need to help the rest of us by, say, turn features such as your FriendFeed setup into WordPress plugins. And I fully agree on the choice of Thesis for a theme; great flexibility.
- Jim Courtney
Note to self, switching blog will cost me a night of sleep someday
- Mark Essel
Mark: switching to a self-hosted blog running on a good framework is a good investment of time; future proofing yourself
- Alastair McDermott
I've been thinking about using the Thesis theme and growing up my blog from there. I like it! About Rackspace, I probably wouldn't need it for something as small as me eh?! I've been considering it, but like I've mentioned, I'm not that big! =) Nice setup.
- Elijah Nicolas
You say that building the 2010 web is still too hard for average folks, but what about turn-key "bundles" like ning?
- Dr. Headcrash
Wordpress is written in PHP, not Python ;-)
- Jesse Stay
Love Thesis. Great theme, great SEO. VERY customizable. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
- Bob Linger
Sup Scoble, the theme you've choosed looks a lot like the one i use in my blog, simple, clean and functional. I liked it. By the way, i see you're using the friendfeed widget. A few months ago i've coded for myself a wp plugin that connects to ff api and build a widget from your feed much like that one, with the advantage that's SEO friendly, easier to customize the style and with more...
more...
- Diego Sana
I thought Disqus would integrate with FriendFeed but perhaps not? There are 90+ comments in here on FriendFeed and only 30 comments in Disqus on the blog? Shouldn't Disqus synchronize both the blog and the FriendFeed thread?
- Charbax
Charbax: good point. I need to figure out how to do that. I think Disqus only integrates them if you've added Disqus to your friendfeed account.
- Robert Scoble
Quiet, clean, subtle design, not sure it's you, but let us get used to it :)
- Michael Metz
mimetz: it's not very personalized, but it does work great on an iPhone! :-)
- Robert Scoble
Looks really good on the iPhone,
- Hunter
The new design is clean and "textual". Nice!
- Rick Cogley
The only think I don't like in your new blog look is the Google Friend Connect bar in the bottom.
- Miguel Caetano
I have a 1024 x 768 screen. The blog appears to be set up for a widescreen display. If I zoom out to where it fits on the screen horizontally, the text is too small to read. Sites that require that I either scroll horizontally to read, or adjust both the page zoom and the text zoom separately I often pass on by.
- Chuck Baggett
nice! i love thesis
- andy brudtkuhl
yeah, thesis is a good one... congrats, looks good
- Peter Efland
Ground-breaking article, Robert. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.
- Franz Binder
Twitter followers: I have turned off the friendfeed-Twitter automatic "like" feature to play around with new "share" feature instead. (via http://friendfeed.com/scoblei...)
Pat Graham Block, Kol Tregaskes, Hisham Sadek هشام and Nick Halstead liked this
will that not take '2 clicks' instead of 1? so your less likely to do it
- Nick Halstead
too much easy..
- Daniele Beta
Robert, I use this all the time now (and not the automated tweeting) and glad I have the option to select what I CC to Twitter or not. It also allows me to edit the title (if I wish) so it fits into Twitter's character limit, though you have to take into account the ff.im link and the [pic] text.

I met Robert at last year's IFA in Berlin for a short walk around the show floor. He's great guy and I wish him and his new venture all the best. And I agree that he should get back together with Rocky. I don't think they are done with their work yet...

Robert has a long history of personal resiliency, so I am thinking that this is just a minor setback. I too want to wish him well.
- Brian Sullivan
M, forwarding ..
- Daniele Beta
Brian, I don't think of this as a setback for him at all. I think of this as a new and better opportunity for him. Like a lot of magazines Fast Company I'm sure was hit hard in this recent downturn. Robert needs certain things to thrive best. Rocky was a first rate editor. Robert's time is best spent doing what he does which is out and about interviewing people and having someone like Rocky to edit his stuff was important. Robert will do better someplace that is growing rather than cutting back.

The sentiment here about Robert (and folks like TH too) are right on - the level of transparency, integrity and work ethic we see sets the bar high for leaders in a community (a network of micro communities, as it might be put better). Think about Paul Harvey. An endearing, tireless pioneer who reached his community with the media/technology of his day for 70+ years. Scobleizer's journey, I believe, has just begun.

I get my Kindle tomorrow and my first book is ordered: "The Pardoner's Tale" by Morgan Ferdinand (AKA "Nine"). Next up: the Bible (King James of course) and Shakespeare. Essential classics. And yes, I'm an atheist. Maybe also "UR" - the book written for Kindle by Stephen King, about an e-reader.
- m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
For the language of course. And because it's the version everyone quotes from. Rumor has it that Shakespeare contributed to it; the editors hired poets to rewrite "Psalms."

I like the Asus 1000HE best for processor, video, price, keyboard combination. Sony Vaio? Pretty, but expensive and not as good performance.
- Robert Scoble
Is / should the MacBook Air be part of this discussion? Also, the Kindle 2.0 is approaching web functionality of a laptop (somewhat, at least).

I have a MSI WIND U100, It came with windows XP, installed Windows 7 on it and its peforms very nice! I love it.

I have the Acer Aspire One, it's decent - but the 1000HE is where it's at.

Haven't had a chance to play with the Asus 1000HE but so far I'm quite pleased with my MP Mini 1000 - great screen/kb, good bat life.

My subnotebook: Toshiba Satellite U400. I only wish the trackpad had a third mouse button. I would so much rather have a subnotebook than a netbook.
- Mitch
When it comes to netbooks I go for whatever is the cheapest and lightest. If I need something more I just bring my full scale lappy. The Asus EEE 701 kicks enough butt for my needs.
- MarkCarras
been using the aspire one. got a good deal on it. people in the press gallery marvel over it for some reason. considering it's pretty much a word processor and browser for me, it is what it is. can't really complain.
- Andrew Feinberg
i have the asus eeepc, dont use it that much these days though. We keep it in the living room and wifey uses to lookup stuff and recipes.

I've been using the HP Mini 1033. It's now my favorite "carry and go" computer. I really like the keyboard and overall performance is good. Least favorite things I like about it? The webcam is poor and I wish the trackpad buttons were designed to be more distinguishable from the trackpad itself. I haven't tried any of the other Netbooks for extended periods.
- Loren Heiny
Anybody got a bead on a 1000HE w/ Linux on on it or does Ubuntu EEPC work on it?

I have the HP Mini 1000 I like it, but never use it! Mainly because when traveling I take a lot of pictures, so I need the local storage to store and to manipulate the images. It's not feasible to upload every pic I take.
- Bryan Thatcher
I recently bought an Acer ASPIRE one to try to get a better sense of what all these netbooks are about. This is the first time I bought a windows machine since 2004. After 6 reboots and some clean up of the desktop, I must admit that for $350, you get a pretty decent machine. My 5 year old daughter likes it. The only real pain beside the initial clean up experience is the trackpad: I found it hard to move the mouse around and almost impossible to find the scroll zone.

Used the Asus Eee PC, MSI Wind U100 and now playing with the Sony VAIO P (which is *NOT* a netbook, accdg to Sony). Eee PC reformatted and installed with Ubuntu and then sold it. MSI Wind U100 reformatted and installed with Mac OS X - now being used by the kids. Sony VAIO P running Vista. So far, the VAIO P blows all competitors in as far as aesthetics is concerned - higher screen resolution, better camera, smaller, lighter. Still evaluating it, though.
- Rom Feria
The lesson for me is that there is market opportunity for a 10 inch device and that on these types of machines, all you really need is a browser...What would be really interesting would be to have a touch screen and be able to use these like a tablet (ie keyboard being optional until you slide it out). There is going to be a lot of interesting innovation in this area in the next few years I think.

I bought an LG X110 (black) for my wife. Underrated, maybe not the cheapest, but wonderful. I'm thinking of another one for me (or give her the pink version and keep the black). 10" screen and a very practical keyboard: 8.9" is still too small, screen and keyboard; 10" is perhaps already too big and «heavy», but it pays.

I am absolutely in love with my Asus Eee PC 1000H/XP, and I take it everywhere now. I even lug it around the apartment, so I can remote into my desktop while watching TV or whatever. It's the perfect mobile "thin client", and even holds its own as a development machine for school needs (replacing an HP Pavilion which now seems like it weighs 1 ton =))
- Daniel Bruce
Typing this on the hp 2133 and i love it. better resolution than the rest of the netbooks: 1280x768, best keyboard. get the new one (2140) to enjoy an Atom processor. I've used the wind, asus machines, acer, etc... this is the one that can be full-time laptop.

We own an Advent 4213 since 3 months, 3G embedded and generally speaking is not missing anything against what *was* permitted to have by OEM licences limits.. Uhm, this pc concept/price is great but so hot that is embarrassing to talk about a competitor model spec of some weeks ago.. Acer, Asus and Samsung were a bit ugly or missing something.. Take care about monitor size and strength.. are not mere details. Sony Vaio P seems fantastic.. what about price and performances??

I probably should have waited for the Asus 1000 HE to come out before making my purchase, but I'm doing some high-end audio recording on my Asus eee 1000 HD, and, for now, it's doing alright by me. Keyboard and trackpad were a pain to deal with at first, tho'.

I'm waiting for the dust to settle on what this convergence device becomes. I would definitely like to see more move back to solid state drives. Local storage is nice, but for as much as I would probably throw one of these things around, I don't want to worry about messing up a traditional hard drive. In addition, I would plan to sync and stream content from my home desktop/server, through VPN, - meaning less need for local storage.

- Loren Heiny
I put Windows 7 on my R2H. The wifi works better now than it did in XP and Vista--because it didn't work at all in XP (after updating to BIOS A08) and Vista (with any BIOS). If I buy a netbook with no digitizer, it will probably be because the netbook costs under $250 and makes a great hackintosh. I have to put Leopard on something, and I'm afraid I will have BSODs or the dead keyboard issue if I stick it on my MacBook.

Even though i am still a big fan of the Samsung NC10, hell there are so many new devices coming out now. Samsung NC20 with the VIA Nano CPU, or the new Eee PC 1000HE, or even the Eee PC T91. I did some videos while i am here in Taiwan http://www.youtube.com/user...

I have the Asus N10. Got it after using Asus Eee PC HA, MSI WIND, LG X110, HP Mini 1000 and Acer Aspire One. IMO the N10 is the best you can get out there, with its stellar design, 6.5 hours battery, additional Splendid-powered OS which can boot up in 5 seconds, express card, amazing 10.2 inch glare screen and 95% of regular sized keyboard with low profile keys. Besides battery, The N10 is the ultimate netbook.

Currently using a Dell Mini 12 and an EEE 701. The Dell is a nice machine, lovely screen, and I find it very useful. But the EEE is the best thing ever, I found after I bought the Dell that the EEE's smallness was the killer feature for me.
- Matt Jones
Just as netbooks migrated from 7" to 8.9" now they have gone to 10". There's already a movement to 12" and at that point., we're well and truly back in laptop land but at 25% cheaper. Something I wrote about today. http://bit.ly/CNNmp

Oh, oh! The LG netbook had to be returned: the touchpad died this afternoon, after 2.5 weeks of usage -- ironic, considering how much I praised it. Had to swap it for an identical one.

I just ordered an ASUS 1000HE from Amazon. I should have it by tomorrow. First step, pave it and put Windows 7 on it.
- Jeff Sandquist
I'm going to be passing my Dell Mini 9 along. I just can't adapt to the keyboard. Almost pulled the trigger on a Mini 10 today, then it hit me that the Asus 1000HE has Bluetooth, isn't shacked by 1GB onboard RAM, and has ~50% more battery life for almost $200 less. Problem is that's really too close to my 5yr old perfectly serviceable Latitude X300 in form factor to justify, so I'm now giving the X300 the evil eye trying to get it to die on me so I can get a new toy.

I'm interviewing @timoreilly this afternoon. The guy who came up with "Web 2.0." Leave what you'd like me to ask here:
dromologue, Mihalcea Razvan, Susan Beebe and 17 other people liked this
He runs O'Reilly publishing which does tons of geek books, tons of conferences from the Web 2.0 Summit to Maker Faire, and lots more. His blog is here: http://radar.oreilly.com/tim/
- Robert Scoble
Ask him what we had before Web 2.0. Was it like, 1.9.3? How much of an upgrade was made? I guess that's three questions....
- Mike Shields
What comes after Web 2.0? Or to rephrase, What is Web 3.0?
- Pierre
Mike, I can answer that without asking him. The first web, from 1994 through about 2000, was about getting yourself or your company onto the Web. Getting a URL. Making a page, or a set of pages. Being presentable. The second web, from 2000, through today, was about adding people and interactivity to those sites. The third web, which started in 2006, is about getting rid of the page all together. Mashups. Live web, like on FriendFeed or TwitterVision.com, and symantec web.
- Robert Scoble
Is the future here yet, or does it remain unevenly distributed? i.e. will some get Web 3.0 while others are still on Web 1.0? If so, what effect will that have? Okay that's three questions, too.
- Donald H Taylor
Spencer: sounds good. Web 2.0, for me, was about adding people and interactivity to web pages. That's HUGE for business. Who wants to do business with a faceless corporation? And who wants to have to refresh their web pages to fill out forms and get information?
- Robert Scoble
Good idea. Could you ask him: - His predictions for 2009; what´s his top 3 of new developments, new growth areas and failures the followiung year - Will he deliver an iPhone App with access to all books, or, maybe even better, give the iPhone App Stanza access to all his books ? If not, why not ? - Does he think there room between Twitter and Friendfeed for a, say, easier, more...
more...
- peter huesken
When will "web 3.0" come? What is significant for this new phase? Could it be the third "monitor"? 1st TV, 2nd computer, 3rd mobile with camera so you could take photos of tags and always be ready to get information through GPS and other features.
- Martin Lindeskog
Robert I have to disagree, I think mashups including Friendfeed are still part of Web 2.0 or maybe 2.x. Increased user involvement, community driven websites, and a mix of services are still characteristics of Web 2.0. Web 3.0 will be a much bigger step forward.
- Bhavishya Kanjhan
Martin: the third wave has already started, but we'll definitely talk about what's happening now. Certainly mobile fits into that. Location awareness. Presence and status awareness. Real-time web. Video. And mashups (there's a new service/tool coming Monday that's pretty wild, by the way).
- Robert Scoble
How will the Web evolve to help us better filter useful information from the information overload currently on the internet? Search? Social Media? Something else?
- Dobes Vandermeer
Web 2.0 has become a revolution - it would be great to know if user generated content will improve in quality and credibility as more people take to it, or will the quality drop?
- Harish
Bhavishya: hmm, well, here's where we get into trouble with using version numbers. One wave morphs into the next wave, it isn't a binary thing (it doesn't just "appear" one day). The mashups I'm seeing coming next year are quite wild and aren't ANYTHING like what we were thinking about when people started talking about Web 2.0.
- Robert Scoble
Harish: good question. I see the quality of user generated content increasing a lot once you can see some social capital behind the participation. Ask yourself, why is the participation here on FriendFeed so good? My answer: because there are very real social consequences for being an asshole here.
- Robert Scoble
What business idea does Tim think would be a good web start up in a recession?
- Kevin
i'd actually like to talk about web2.5--the innovations and corrections/tuning on 2.0 laying the groundwork for 3.0. and are we there?
- mark silva
What are Tim's thoughts on Enterprise 2.0? Will it be as big as Web 2.0? Rationale? (This question is valid for Tim because E2.0 was derived from W2.0)
- Chintan Zaveri
Spencer: I see smartphones drastically reducing the cost of getting information. This certainly will be true of the third world which doesn't have good computing infrastructure, but where tons of people have cell phones.
- Robert Scoble
What could be the impact of the Obama administration on the web? Will the economic conditions change fundamentally? And - maybe a default subject - has he some advice for the newspaper industry? - After all he is a successful print and web publisher.
- Heinz Wittenbrink
from twhirl
Kevin, Chintan: good questions. It's interesting that I got to know Tim during the last downturn.
- Robert Scoble
Well what about privacy? You talk about location awareness, status awareness, data being moved around in mashups, etc.
- Pierre
hey robert, thought it was interesting how guy kawasaki promoted twitter--even more than his book or alltop--in your recent interview. can we learn what o'reilly's hot about (he posted recently about ceo tweeting, for instance, but what else?) and what he prefers, friendfeed or twitter.
- mark silva
Pierre: awesome question too, but we all know privacy is dead. Want to see my medical records or credit card statement? We're getting pretty close to sharing even those things because there's some value that comes back to us if we do (ala mint.com or google's health services).
- Robert Scoble
mark: Tim is a Twitter guy. I rarely see him show up here on FriendFeed. We will definitely talk about microblogging and the real-time web.
- Robert Scoble
In the thinking stages, did he imagine Web 2.0 would evolve in the way that it has? If so, is he happy with the progress? What would he have changed?
- Shevonne
Ask him about XBRL. It was mandated by the SEC this week. What does it mean. Is he interested. He'll have an interesting viewpoint, I'm sure.
- Dominic Jones
from twhirl
The question that I would like to ask would be if Web 1.0 was representative of a technological shift, and Web 2.0 was representative of a social shift, what revolutionary change will instigate the next big shift on the Internet? Place of interaction perhaps?
- TheLovableRogue
I think you should ask, How does Web 3.0 enhances Web 2.0?
- Michael Fidler
from twhirl
Dominic: this is why I ask you all for feedback on interviews. I would never have thought to ask about XBRL. Thanks!
- Robert Scoble
Robert - this (pre-interview brainstorming) is a great idea , which I shamelessly plan to steal and reuse myself.

- Mark Rauterkus
Ask about costs. Costs of paper, production, shipping, HR, research, time, returns, damaged goods, and other 'sinks.' How are they being avoided / reduced.
- Mark Rauterkus
Robert you can ask him how the symantec web is going to influence the search engine economy? Do we have to redefine the term "web search" for web 3.0? Are the huge companies like Google, Yahoo etc ready for the symantec web or for the next generation of the web overall?
- Kivanc Toker

- Zach Berg
Ok, then who decided what you state above? Did he also come up with 3.0? Your answer is generating more questions, and I'd like to hear his answers to the first ones, actually....
- Mike Shields
does he regret coming up with that term? and the what is next? surely not 3.0 maybe web 2.1 beta :p
- Darren Stuart
Some random questions: - SaaS or Open Source? - According to Tim, which are the top 10 Web 2.0 technologies (Microblogging, Mashups, Blogs, Wikis, RSS, ... ) suitable for adoption in an organization for improving their capability - Open Source companies will earn "significantly" better revenues in 2009 than 2008. True or False? - Thoughts on Social Media versus Knowledge Management
- Chintan Zaveri
I tweeted him a question about preservation and the fact that little of the Web 2.0 world is being preserved. Are we moving through a historical black hole when no one will be able to follow some important thinkers because all that they wrote from 1997-2008 will be lost?
- Todd Carpenter
Another question related to "information overload" (and not to get too geeky for NPR, but): What are his thoughts about the future of semantics on the web and could that be the next gen on the internet?
- Todd Carpenter
Todd: that's a real problem, the first two years of my blog are gone. But even worse is that Twitter is a black hole. Quick, pull out all conversations about the Chinese Earthquake that happened in the first three hours after the earthquake happened. You can't. That's even worse. The data is there, we can't get to it.
- Robert Scoble
Ask him about consolidation. People generally use a wide variety of different web sites for different purposes (google/wikipedia/flickr/FB/amazon/etc) , each with its own user interface and idiosyncrasies. Does the fact that information should flow more freely in the future mean that we may see the birth of mega sites, which aggregate all this data, and allow much higher levels of interoperability and integration. Thanks
- David Semeria
Todd: Have you seen Clay Shirky´s It's Not Information Overload. It's Filter Failure ? http://web2expo.blip.tv/file...
- peter huesken
Robert: If the data is there it's just an issue of focus and worry about scale. If the data is replicated and caches (shouldn't change right :) ) all would be well just takes dev time which they don't have.

Where is a TRUE digital time capsule so to speak?
- stephen pieraldi
Ask him if he found a service for website referral analytics? If yes...which and why he chose that?
- Andrea Vascellari
Ask him about the Safari books service. Any plans to make the site truly iPhone capable (a better mobile version of the site)? Right now the iPhone app is just a glorified PDF viewer.
