  • Twitter is, or will be, a Messaging Platform

    Charlie discusses the future of Twitter and touches on what I think are two key points: corporate twitter and content subscription. The key as Charlie discusses is the opt-in and one-way nature of Twitter. That is, I only get updates from someone if I explicitly choose to receive them, and the party...

  • There's no such thing as Web 2.0

    I've said before that I hate the term Web 2.0 but that it's more than a buzzword . Perhaps what I meant to say is what Marc Andreessen said: there's no such thing as Web 2.0 ( via Fred Wilson ) - thing being the key word there. The first Web 2.0 conference was held in the fall of 2004, and coincided...

  • Aloha, Mahalo.com

    I found this arrangement in my feed reader mildly amusing this morning: Fred Wilson's post on Mahalo.com directly above a post by Brad Feld entitled "The Computer Should Be Doing the Work for Us". (They are unrelated entries). Mahalo.com is, of course, a people-powered search engine that Jason Calacanis...

  • Web 2.0 is more than a buzzword

    I hate buzzwords , but I agree with Kathy when she says that Web 2.0 is more than just a buzzword . It is not a meaningless term (or as Letterman might say, it's "not nothing"). Kathy makes the ever-important distinction between buzzwords (bad) and jargon (good). Ultimately, she says, Web 2.0 gives us...

  • Would you trust Zamzar with your data?

    Kevin writes about Zamzar , a free web-based service that converts audio, video and documents from one format to another (via Download Squad ). Sounds cool, but would you trust them with your sensitive data? I don't know about you, but I barely trust Google or Microsoft with this information. Should...

  • Buzzwords say all the wrong things

    As I've written in the past, I'm not a big fan of buzzwords because "they're vague, overbroad, ill-defined, and most of all trivialize what is really going on in the first place." Matt at 37Signals says there might be other reasons to avoid buzzwords . These buzzwords are often a mask. People who use...

  • Red Swoosh launches free version of P2P distribution service

    Red Swoosh is making its peer-to-peer distribution channel available for free , supported by advertising shown to every fifth downloader. Their technology has interested me since I first heard about it on a Web 2.0 Show interview from BarCamp LA back in May. I'm still very surprised that BitTorrent hasn...

  • Interesting Developments with Windows Live

    Microsoft is embedding Live services within the operating system . This isn't really too surprising, considering it was one of the stated principles behind the effort from the start. (As a developer, it is exciting though). Microsoft appears to recognize that web applications are a complement, and not...
