The lack of a place called home on the web makes me an on-line refugee - http://vanelsas.wordpress.com/2008...
A blog is not a home. ;) - Mark Dykeman
nice post. I call it one's digital footprint; the collection of all your inputs into the web. in other words, the digital YOU. - http://tinyurl.com/6pp347 - linkman77
Mark, agreed. A blog (site) is definitely something that a blogger can create, but it doesn't fit the "home" metaphor. It needs much more substance than just the blog itself. - Alexander van Elsas
Jason, last I looked Ning was using an advertisement based business model so that is out of the question to become a "home", just like Facebook could never be a "home" either. It needs to be a place belonging to the user. - Alexander van Elsas
Linkman77, sorry, I'm talking about something different from your digital footprint. I could imagine the digital footprint being part of my on-line "home", but again, it is much more than that. I do like the digital footprint metaphor btw. - Alexander van Elsas
For a place on the web I can call home, SNS just doesn't cut it. The closest thing to an online home is Second Life for me. I'm not there much anymore, but when I was, I owned my own land, built my own house, lounged on my couch, watched the tube, invited friends over, chatted with neighbors, etc. A home inside a virtual world is as close as it gets to a IRL home ATM. Until 3D becomes easier to use, more mainstream, and more integrated with the internet/our OS, many of us will feel like online nomads. - Hao Chen
@Hao, yes a home could be some 3D word, but imo it doesn't necessarily need to be that. The question " who owns it" is really important. If you can use something for free, the service provider is bound to make revenues using some advertisement model, and that wouldn't fit. I don't see myself hanging a banner with advertisement in my (physical) house, so why should I do that on the web. - Alexander van Elsas
127.0.0.1 There's no place like home. :P - Hao Chen
Jason, open source software might work. I guess the point is I do hope that 3rd parties will come with easy to use building blocks that take care of things like building and maintenance. I don;t always have to build a home, but I do want to decorate it and customize it to my convenience. I'd be willing to pay for that, as long as it's truly mine ;-) - Alexander van Elsas
The question is whether a facebook-like service (that is withouth the infantile apps but with the basic features) could exist with a business model focused entirely on user value. If ownership of data and profile would be transferred to the user (buy or rent) then we might have a simple start of a place we eventually could call "home". The ownership is important. I get to decide what it looks like, who gets in and who doesn't, and the service provider can't hog data (wrong business model). Could that work? - Alexander van Elsas
Good post from last year... - Sprague D
Thomas Hawk
Wow, AT&T just finished installing UVerse fiber internet service at my house. This is soooo much faster than DSL. Awesome!
so what's the first thing you D/L to try it out? - Todd Jordan
I'd love to get it, but UVerse still isn't available here. My DSL connection goes down whenever we have a thunderstorm. - Mike Hussein Cohen
Glad it's working for ya! Hawaiian Tel keeps talking about fiber to the home, but they're losing landline subscribers fast and furious. It can't be that hard on an island. http://billso.com/hawaiia... - Bill Sodeman
First thing I did was load my 10 faves or more set on Flickr which has over 2,000 photos in it to see how fast it would load 2,000+ thumbnails at once. Answer, very fast, maybe 10 seconds. The other thing is Flickr used to hang on certain thumbnails on large thumbnail pages for me, but not anymore, everything loads perfectly now even on very intensive pages full of images. I love it. Have to go play with the TV part of it next. - Thomas Hawk
Sounds wonderful Thomas. Can't wait to visit at your house. - Todd Jordan
I'm wanting to install fiber as soon as its available in my area, I had it in utah and it was amazing... A true godsend...so fast...*drools..* - Patrick
Have you done a speed test? - cjmart
whoa, whoa, whoa, you signed up for the FiOS TV service, too? That seems like a Thomas Hawk from an alternate reality. Though I hear they have a decent four tuner HD DVR. Jealous -- it may be years before its available where I am in SF. - Robert Seidman
How does the speed compare to cable? I've heard of dropout issues with others in my neighborhood that switched to Uverse - keep us updated. - James Hull
My Uverse isn't as fast as my Time Warner was on the internet side, but with 2-3x as many HD channels that just WORK every time and don't pixelate, I'm in love. - Blake
My inlaws just got it. Supposed to be available at my house in November! :) - cjmart
Congrats Thomas! Fast is more fun. We upgraded our TimeWarner and it is pretty consistently 15download/1upload now. Don't know if we can get Fiber yet where I live in KC. - Johnny Sewell
Congrats and welcome to 'real' broadband. I've been loving life since the beginning of this year with my Comcast Business class connection. Right now during prime evening time, I'm getting about 14Mb down and 1.5Mb up. Average is 16-18Mb down. I've seen it go as high as 24Mb down in the early AM!! - Jeff P. Henderson
we're suppose to be getting FiOS in our building soon, but they said that it would be ready last month.... - nick carrasco
Jealous! - asiriusgeek
@Thomas: Just wondering if you are still liking your Uverse connection. I'm supposed to have it installed on Friday but I thought I'd get your opinion one last time - if you've got the time, thanks! - James Hull
James, I absolutely love the faster internet, a tremendous improvement over DSL. I watch very little tv but you can't get the higher speed fiber without it. TV is ok, I think an ota hd signal is better quality hd than uverse. - Thomas Hawk

Cannot explain FriendFeed to my uncle in Chinese. He keeps asking me what we are feeding people :)
We're feeding them friends! Which reminds me of my proposed slogan, "FriendFeed is people!" - Paul Buchheit
Like and +1 Paul, great slogan - Michael W. May
How about??....FriendFeed - "It's good to share!" - Jason
you should probably go ahead and register soylentfriendfeed.com then - soylentfriends.com and soylentfeed.com are also available :P - bob
No FF slogan yet? - Igor Poltavskiy
朋 喫 ? 好吃 ! - Louis Gray
what Louis Gray dude said, yeah..! - stefan
"Feed we can believe in"? - Philipp Lenssen
Try FriendIrrigate. Your friends' activity is a river of information, and you control the amount that flows to you. - Bruce Lewis
In FF We Trust:) - Igor Poltavskiy
I believe word "feed" is very wrong for non-technical people - most of them live better with "stream" & "tape" (or whatever is in your language for paper-tape-style typewriter http://www.etypewriters.com/history... ) - A.T.
I believe the word “friend” isn't quite right either, as I'm following several people who aren't my friends. So maybe PeopleSteams. And I'm sure, as with Twitter, there will be role accounts that aren't people at all. So EntityNews. Once FF buys Google though you get their brands, so you can rename FF to Google, and get rid of web search. - Amit Patel

The Future of Blogging Revealed http://www.readwriteweb.com/archive...
awesome post. Lots to digest here. The flow of information is transformed. - linkman77
Rick is right. The lifestream angle is great if your focus is your life and the chronological order, but thoughts are different -- they're topical and just because they're 'old' don't necessarily make them out of date (although in some cases they do :) The point of the conversations is 'thinking' not 'doing' (which, BTW, is the antithesis of most online design -- hmmm, haven't thought about that before). - Rotkäpchen from FriendFeed MT Plugin
Is it the future or is the future of blogging a return to blogging roots, with noise moving to lifestreams? - Tristan Louis
@Tristan - I get what you mean. Many blogs have become pseudo magazine publishing sites (Engadget, Techcrunch) - the personal, communicative element has been totally eroded there. I think sites like LiveJournal are truer to the roots of blogging. ie blog = weblog = web log - linkman77
It's a good article, but it seems like this is more of a fork in the road of the future, rather than the future of all blogging, an alternative or compliment rather than the next evolution. Thought leaders may still want to blog, or have some kind of interactive platform for their voices. If RWW was a lifestream, what would this post have been like? - Tinu Abayomi-Paul
I like the idea of a blog based round the Friendfeed stream. I could see things heading more in that direction. The blog showcased in the article highlights one of the crippling drawbacks of Friendfeed, though, which is the lack of a "recent conversation" summary. Also: I don't think lifestreaming is necessarily navel-gazing. Most shares on Friendfeed aren't personal streaming, for example, but links to the articles, photos or videos that a user is interested in. - David Young
Would love to stream my Seesmic comments to RWW! I am a Cannibal and my dinner is Virgins and Middle Class! http://seesmic.com/video... - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק from FriendFeed MT Plugin
I have done almost exactly the same thing with my site Svartling Network: http://www.svartling.net/ - Svartling
I don't think this is blogging (as some commented), this is more a form of entertainment. It's like American Idol vs. pro singers - Jorge Escobar
Excellent post Sarah. Ref Christopher's comment, I have been using Soup.io lately to aggregate my 'lifestream' and thoughts re music, books etc. It's nothing special tbh (I don't have any time to devote to it!), but I have thought of it as re-discovering personal blogging. definitely a work in progress and by no means is the content compelling for anyone but me, but to illustrate what... more... - Richard from FriendFeed MT Plugin
Check http://chyrp.net its a cool script to made a lifestream with import capacities. - Víctor Hugo Hernández from FriendFeed MT Plugin
Hmmm ... I don't think life streaming will replace blogging. Twitter for example is interesting and almost addictive but it has no depth. For myself one of the great things with twitter is when people I am following point me in the direction of a great blog or post they have found. I do however agree there is a need to bring everything together, my blog for example, and especially my about page is a central hub of my Social Network. It links to most things I do online. http://www.stephenbaugh.com/about - Stephen Baugh from FriendFeed MT Plugin
I try to logon atleast one a day or so. - Aaron Myers
I have found another example that might be of interest in your example of new types of blogs. Martin Stabe writes a traditional blog for UK B2B magazine Press Gazette but his own blog is actually a list of his choices form Delicious - http://www.martinstabe.com/blog... - like Alan Cheslow uses only friendfeed. Of course it remains a blog since what we read is his recommendations or, put another way, his intellectual journey! - John Welsh from FriendFeed MT Plugin

"The problem: without engaging content of different multimedia formats, lifestreaming is much less interesting." - Andy DeSoto from Bookmarklet
Qik has a big market opportunity with live video streaming. Audio, too, has potential for growth. Podcasts paired with blogs could offer enormous increases in value, as well as cementing reader loyalty. A weekly, 60 minute podcast with guest interviwers would make a great complement to sites like GigaOm and Techcrunch; offering a verbal analysis of the week past. - linkman77
pretty interesting. I believe lightstreaming is very interesting - Franklin Bishop
Great thoughts linkman! I like how RWW does this. I just got Qik on my iPhone today, and I can't even fathom all of the possibilities something like this can provide. - Andy DeSoto
Completely agree (and a well thought out article). I think lifestreaming is more "interesting" in multiple formats because it addresses multiple learning styles and therefore people get more absorbed in the topic (person). Also agree with one you said about needing different formats to represent a person's life. People express themselves in different formats; one person may express themselves by writing, another speaking. - Erica Toelle from twhirl

"According to this person, the problems are only occurring in areas of high iPhone density. These include the San Francisco Bay area, Boston, and certain overseas locales. The reason the problem has gotten worse in recent days is because of the steep increase in iPhone activations in these places. The more people who are trying to use a given piece of gear, the more likely they are to get bumped." - Thomas Hawk from Bookmarklet

A report with far reaching consequences and a clear eye into the future. Thanks!! - Aarthy
This is something that should be posted every two weeks. We tend to focus on things that make us more efficient in the current system, instead of questioning its foundation (publication pressure) and seeking long term solutions. - Pawel Szczesny
One person is not as smart or smarter than all of us. The western ideal of the lone genius (be that one person or one organization) is nothing more than a romantic notion one that works to support non-disclosure. Your suggestion has merit in that data disclosure would potentially encourage deeper peer review, more comprehensive analysis and richer understanding. Kudos on presenting a compelling and cogent argument. The future is not proprietary. - Dave Martin
Science is, as such, generally not proprietary, at least not the life sciences. However, we do have a tendency to be protectionist about our data and as many remind me, it's not always because of choice, but because people need to work within the confines of a publish or perish academic research system. There's enough people who want things to be different, many active in academic science (unlike me). It's easy for me to write down something. The change will have to come from within, and it will - Deepak Singh
One problem is that in academia, we train young scientists to believe that they own the data that they generate. This explains, amongst other things, resistance to open notebooks. The notion of "my personal notebook" is deeply entrenched. We need a mental shift away from "I generated this and it's mine" to "I uncovered what was there already and now it's everyone's". - Neil Saunders
I suppose we need a balance between the two. We need the humility to realize that what we are doing is a lot bigger than any individual, and the pride in our work to have a sense of ownership and desire to make it as good as it can be. Somewhere along the way, we seem to have lost some of those values - Deepak Singh
That's the same Bill Joy that proposed a moratorium on Molecular Biology and Nanotechnology studies because they would end up creating tiny replicating machine-virus? - Paulo Nuin
Yep, same fellow. I believe I once called him a luddite. That said, he has his moments. Also founded Sun along the way - Deepak Singh
I remember a lunatic, who was at the same time a professor at the Mathematics Institute of the University of Sao Paulo, almost got into a fight with some biologists based on Joy's article. - Paulo Nuin
re Neil Saunders - sure it's everyones, just after the publication gets accepted :) - Rajarshi Guha
My argument is that the grant system is part of the problem and needs change. That kind of approach (looking at number of sources) is completely bogus. - Deepak Singh

"What Bach can do with small fractions is staggering. But he was the ultimate music genius (sad to think it peaked just as it got really started) and to draw from his example the lesson that pretty intervals properly placed makes great music would be a serious mistake." - Will DeLuca from Bookmarklet
