what if dynamic privacy actually worked?
what if a whole bunch of vendors would respect and support Facebook's dynamic privacy mechanism?
would Google support that?

The very notion of an open Microsoft si truly frightening. Combining the living room, game console, set top box, PC and auto is the future and there's only one company that can do that.

They just have to leave a few crumbs on the table - for the rest of us.

So where's the Identi.ca of Gnip?

How much does Gnip cost?

How long did it take to integrate? Are you folks relying upon it exclusively or is there a fall back scenario - in case IT goes down?

Hey Nicki

Great question. Maybe SixApart will put out a service which could do what you want?

I think I'll bring that up with Chris Alden - next time I see him or Mr. Sippey.

Then again - maybe the new COMCAST Interactive unit is up to building that sort of product. Rumor has it (as heard on today's Gillmor Gang) that only 25,000 people want to do this sort of synchronization, consolidation, integration, aggregation - all with a high degree of customization.

My bet is that allot more than 25k will, it's just a matter if they realize they want to - right now.

Who knows maybe even Google, Apple, Yahoo and Facebook will provide this capability one day. Certainly Microsoft already had thrown their chips in the game with Microsoft Mesh. Check it out!

Tee Hee Hee - do we really think that if Apple had bought us - that we'd be in better shape today.

This entire reaction against the Flash lock-in closed format has more to do with achieving Apple's lock-in than helping our open web.

Take this from someone who's focused on the benefits of multimedia players - not Adobe/Macromedia OR Apple. They're both focused on themselves, to us. Which makes their shareholders happy, but not us.

Based upon the installed base and what Flash enables - it HELPS out developers to support Flash - through HTML5 seems to be the ONLY future scenario we can 'trust'. Certainly not Silverlight.

Well thank god you're not too pessimistic.

Can you report to us on happy things, like artichoke soup, waves washing up onto rocks and hang gliders?

Or was it the Ferry Bldg, Yank Sing and the Presidio?

Or walking the Haight and ending up walking all the way from Stanyan to the Ocean.

Re: Scripting News: Let's build a new Internet in academia

marccanter — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 09:49:43 -0000

Doc and I tried to setup a virtual "Institute" via the Univ of Louisiana, at Lafayette. Then the big oil spill happened and the money dried up. Oh well.

Khan Academy is scaring the SHIT out of traditional academia. There are new open source products which utilize Khan Content (spacing on the name right now - Scoble interviewed them.)

Combine that company and Khan Content and you've got the foundation. Super Professors can cross geographic and timezone boundaries - creating new ways to learn. That's in the world of (so-called) higher ed.

Then we have the p's and q's and fundamentals that everyone shoudl learn. That leads to not just "book learning" - but all this other stuff called: life, work, jobs, relationships.

the ENTIRE way we learn - is changing. When my interns first sit down, I ask them "how many of you have email and Facebook accounts?" I then tell them that we're going to pAY them to play with Facebook and watch YouTube all day long.

Then we trick them into learning on-line job skills.

Re: How to Spot Openwashing

marccanter — Fri, 06 May 2011 09:19:04 -0000

Yo dudes - there are a couple of other issues you haven't confronted in this article:

- what about MySQL? They offer their product (not sure if they still do) on a dual-license approach. This combines GPL and a commercial license, allowing them to give away their code - for free - while at the same time charge commercial entities for commercial usage of their code. What's that called?

- when we first created PeopleAggregator I sent this dual-license approach to five lawyers and got back five opinions. That's not good. Mainly because you're putting the onus on users to figure things out. That defeats the purpose of a contract.

- so we combined free and pay into one license: the "Pay-as-you-go" license - which simply says "if you use this for commercial purposes you owe us some money, if not, then use it - for free."

- this has nothing to do with contributing or not.

- but since people complained that this isn't a 'standard' license, we don;t call it open source. We call it "source code available" - which is the other thing you don't mention in this article. If you can get your hands on teh course code - and you can modify it - and NOT have ot have it approved or GIVE IT BACK - then I call that open source.

- which gets us to what's wrong with GPL. None of the other licenses require one ot hand improvements BACK to the community. I have no problems doing that - but if I want to sell my platform to a commercial entity (which we do) and THEY want to make changes to THEIR copy - then I don't want to require them to hand that back. So THAT's why I don't support GPL. And there is NO GPL code in PeopleAggregator.

FWIW
