The least surprising thing about Google’s Chrome browser announcement was the reaction from most of the media that this was an attack on Microsoft. Google founders Sergey and Larry were both present at the press event, with Page apparently the more engaged on a regular basis with the project for the last two years. But Brin took most of the strategic questions and painted a different picture from the notion that the browser was a ...

Twitter is winning and most of its competitors remain in denial. In spite of almost 5 months of unavailability of its most viral service, Twitter remains the platform of choice for most users. FriendFeed remains a hybrid of conversations and semi-realtime aggregator, capturing most of the energy of Google Reader as a citation engine but stubbornly refusing to allow its metadata to flow back into Twitter and other real time engines. Facebook has freshened up ...

Dell tossed its hat into the cloud computing ring last night, or more precisely declared its having done so about 2 years ago with a group providing optimized storage, server, and data center solutions for its top 50 customers. At a press briefing high above San Francisco on the 52nd floor, Dell officials suggested they are moving to the cloud and places in the technology stack where customers are pulling them. For a company that ...

As I suggested on the Gang, a better idea would be to adopt a strategy of hitting the cartel where it hurts, by establishing a Free Radio tip jar. Building on an idea Doc Searls has envisioned in his role at Harvard’s Berkman Law, create a fund to accept contributions from listeners of whatever source - brodcast, sattelite, Internet radio, BitTorrent, whatever - to recognize music. It’s similar to the public radio and television pitch ...

Jag har lyssnat på SteveG i ett par olika sammanhang den senaste veckan, när han uttryckt ovan. Då fattade jag inte. Nu gör jag det. Dags för exempelvs SR att börja spela lite obunden, ej STIM-avräknad musik och betala direkt till artisterna som vågar ta detta steg, att gå vid sidan av den gamla trasiga modellen.

Last week on The Gillmor Gang and this weekend on TWiT, the subject of the sorry state of the music business came up and in particular the notion of “Free Internet Radio.” Part of the discussion was triggered by a threat (plea?) by the founder of the Pandora music service to shut down. Pandora employs an ingenuous strategy based on something called the Music Genome Project, which breaks down recordings into some 400 individual characteristics, ...

With just the weekend between now and the start of the major party conventions, the amazing thing about the New Media is just how little it has impacted so far on the story. No major leaks about the vice presidential nominations, no blogger unmaskings of damaging revelations about the candidates at the top of the ticket, no shaky video of loose talk or surrogates jockeying for position. Is is possible that the campaigns have learned ...

Just because there have been no leaks via new social media communications does not mean that social media does not have a huge effect on the '08 election. Having said that, this article is still interesting.

This misses the point. It's not just about traditional politics, media players, planned events a political "control"; it's about everyone's impact. It's not just about the politicans and media impacting people, it's about people impacting people.

I'm pretty sure the anti-climax of the Obama txt msg puts the sword to this article. If anything social media is just forcing the traditional media to, um, actually do their job.

At its heart, the anger with Twitter is not over its wanting to monetize its invention but rather the violation of the contract we all signed on for, namely to establish relationships with our friends and most importantly friends we don’t yet know about

Today was the day that Leo Laporte jumped into the Tw*tter odyssey with both feet. He interviewed Identi.ca developer Evan Prodromou on one of his myriad non-stop podcasts that are also streamed live on his TwitTV channel. As have many of us, Leo has grown frustrated with Twitter’s troubles and seems to have stopped taking seriously the idea, as he put it with more than a touch of sarcasm, that Twitter “is working to restore ...

Silverlight seems to be doing pretty well according to most accounts in its Olympics launch, suffering digs only at the hands of John Dowdell of Adobe and those unhappy with the lack of full screen display (a function not of a limitation of Silverlight technology but NBC wanting to sell the HD version of the events and avoid pissing off the cable and satellite companies.) The numbers were big: 30 million uniques, 6.3 million shared ...

Dave Winer used the bearhug to wrap his arms around Netscape’s version of RSS and not let go until a merged RSS was born. With Twitter’s announcement of “a minor change to the API that should have a major impact on the Twitter community” the time may be here to bearhug Twitter and unify the microblogging architecture. The tweak “allows API clients to specify which status a status to be posted is in reply to, ...
