YAGD: “yet another geek dinner” – July 19th 2006 – NEW LOCATION
Read more →We are having another super-informal-geeky-but-not-exclusively-geeks Geek Dinner, and we have a lovely new location, sponsored by our friends at Permabit (Thanks Tom and Katie!)
Who is we, again? Bela Labovitch, Adam Green and me. We’ve organized two of these this year, and they were lots-o-fun. People met, talked: no cures for cancer were discovered but in general people felt it was good enough to try again.
What happens at these things? Just a lot of chatter about products, technologies, politics and in general, “wats goin on” in the Boston area, Geek-wise. Oh and of course...

BloggerCon – Wish I was there
Read more →BloggerCon IV is going on right now, in California. This is Dave Winer’s original ‘UnConference‘. It’s being incredibly well covered, by blog, photo and podcast. I haven’t come close to reading all the stuff being posted, so these are just some semi-random posts to give you a flavor:
Dan Farber: The user complaint session
Robert Scoble: BigCo employees should listen to this

Jaron Lanier on Digital Maoism: interesting thoughts about Wikipedia and related site
Read more →Jaron is a brilliant thinker (and an amazing piano player as well) Anything he writes is interesting. In this case he seems to be worrying about how much credence is being given to knowledge in Wikipedia and related types of sites. I don’t know if I agree with him, but it is a great read!
Jaron worries about: “the way the Wikipedia has come to be regarded and used; how it’s been elevated to such importance so quickly. And that is part of the larger pattern of the appeal of a new online collectivism that is nothing less than a resurgence of the idea that the collective ...

Skypecasts – easy to offend?
Read more →I just discovered Skypecasts. Cool new (free!) service. I haven’t tried it yet but it seems like an obvious way to continue getting the word out on BlogBridge and BlogBridge:Library.
Funny thing happened to me though. I used the Skypecast interface to schedule my very own Skypecast. I called it “BlogBridge:Library discussion“, and the description was:
“For people interested in learning more ab...

Top Ten Lies
Guy Kawasaki with another one of his great posts. He’s always fun to read. And boy, do they ring true!
“I already have a meeting at lunch.”
“I think what you’re doing is interesting, but it’s not something for us.”
“You need me more than I need you.”
“It’s a pleasure to speak here today.”
“I can help you partner with Apple.”
“I don’t care about making money with my blog.”
“It’s not the money.”
“We don’t have a position at Garage or in our portfolio, but I’ll keep you in mind.”
“I didn’t mean to slash/trip/board or knock you down.”
“Macintosh has lots of software.”
From “The Top Ten Lies of Guy Kawasaki”, you have to read the whole thing!

Memories of OPML Camp
Richard Edwards was kind enough to point me to these pictures of your’s truly carrying on about BlogBridge at the recent OPMLCamp. I don’t think the pictures are all that flattering, but seeing the BlogBridge UI as big as all outdoors is pretty cool, at least for me 🙂Technorati Tags: blogbridgelibrary, opmlcamp

Great book: Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
I just finished reading an excellent book called Confessions of an Econmonic Hit Man. Quite amazing really. Tells about the machinations of american foreign aid, and how all foreign aid is not as benevolent as you might think. Also kind of hints at why there are so many Texas oil men and huge construction contractors represented in the government. A fascinating read. Recommended.

Yeah, we’re building another product
Read more →I couldn’t resist, and so who knows why, we (Aleksey and I) have built a new product in the BlogBridge family. We call it BlogBridge: Library. It’s a software application that customers can run on their own servers which provides a nice, flexible, powerful library of RSS Feeds, OPML Reading Lists and Podcasts. The idea is that the customer supplies the content and gets the software from us. Kind of a private iTunes Store for Blogs, Reading Lists and Podcasts.
It’s targeted at any organization who wants to create a library of blog and related information for a certain audience. We were focused on companies or other organizations building a library for their employ...
