Community is where it’s at. We are all each other’s audience. I will be launching 2 community websites in September. In 1, to join the community will require a paid (but not automatically renewing) paid membership. In the other community, participation will be freely available. There are many paths to information! There are many roads to success! There [...]

Habe viel Spass gehabt! Die Gedichte waren allesamt wunderbar — und Gerd hat wirklich hervorragend Piano gespielt — einen Bogen von Erik Satie bis Joe Zawinul! Ich habe während der Fahrt nach Kaiserslautern ein Haiku mit Herbert und Johanna geteilt (eigentlich habe ich es ihnen aufgezwungen ) … welches ich den letzten Tagen geschrieben habe… [...]

The more freedom, the better — so the best way forward is a world without employment!

You may wonder why I’ve included Antarctica. My hunch is that the economy of Antarctica has melted. Post Linked in Home News Forum

I respect the privacy of email, so I will not disclose any of my remarks here. Since I haven’t gotten any response yet, I will, however, explicate some of my main points: the quality of the news selection algorithms is quite low — there is really no significantly new information being presented the ranking algorithms are likewise quite poor [...]

One way to grasp the notion of audience — especially online — is to think about their vocabulary. If there is one word in a headline that is not well understood, then that hurts. 2 or 3 nebulous words, and the headline is probably a cognitive fail whale. Yet one person’s poison is another person’s pleasure: People [...]

Twitter is when what you have to say has already been sung (it’s easy! … just click to respond). Twammer is when you have too much to say. You want to twammer on and on… so anyone who is willing to hear you out should click the link ( thank you very much ). Needless to say, almost [...]

I really like twitter lists — I was a very early adopter! One thing I don’t like about them, though, is that twitter doesn’t publish RSS feeds for them. Twitter needs to get its act together — they have been dithering for almost 2 years now. No wonder Leo Laporte is frustrated. Post Linked in Home News [...]

I wish the people running Paper.LI were more responsive.
Now I will temporarily open the DM communications channel. Hope I get some kind of response that way.

Websites must be rather dismal places for the visually impaired. I am not amazed, yet I am deeply disappointed at how poor the situation is — primarily with regards to information. Humans can understand a picture (provided they can see it well enough) — a computer cannot… and will not be able to (at least not in your [...]

That quote comes from Bernie Goldbach:

It makes me feel like everything I’ve posted over the past four years on Twitter, Jaiku, Friendfeed, Plurk, Pownce, and, yes, Google Buzz, has been an immense waste of time. I was shouting into a vast echo chamber where no one could hear me because they were too busy shouting themselves. All [...]
