In recent news, Roku really wants to run other people’s content (OPC) through their $99 box. Mark my words, when we have a $99 box that plays Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, and a few others (Revision3, get on the box), people will start canceling their cable in droves and this crazy Internet Video thing will start ‘taking off.’ Does anyone reading this have any experience in the Roku API, etc.? How hard is it to get ...

It’s a little difficult to keep up with everything while I’m traveling. Pleasantly I noticed in my inbox that an announcement from O’Reilly went out that included my name. Brady Forrest and I collaborated on producing a business-oriented analysis of the phenomenal growth around geospatial technology.

by Sherry Heyl Social Media has been hyped so much in the media and by consultants that many people believe that "if you build a site, they will come." A social media site, whether it is a blog, video, podcast, or social network, should not be treated like a corner lemonade stand. The reality is, just like any business strategy, you will get out of your social media strategy what you put into it. You ...

What’s the most effective vehicle for modern day journalism? Jeff Jarvis argues that the traditional form of the article is becoming inadequate among the non-stop barrage of news and information. He proposes that the topic should become the new building block. These topics would be catalogued live, on some sort of web page, where a topic is curated, edited, and discussed. Like a wiki that constantly aggregates and links all information pertaining to a topic. ...

Think of a newspaper where every daily newsworthy article is actually a new or rewritten summary of an expanding wiki page on the topic.

Online communities can be chaotic places. The anonymity and instant communications sometimes add up to situations where decorum gets thrown out the window. But of course, the internet is all about sharing information and freedom of communication. When you run a community, it can be tough to decide where to become the police, and where to let people express themselves. The San Francisco Chronicle gives us a look inside the inner workings of online community ...

The demise of forums has been greatly exaggerated. In fact, if you’re in need of some kind of support for almost anything, forums are pretty much where you need to be… If like me, you’re reluctant to pay for support, or dislike the support provided by the manufacturer or service provider, then forums are a great place to be because they’re driven almost entirely by passionate, devoted and mostly very clued-up people who really know ...

Poster Boy is a notorious street artist that remixes ads in New York City subway stations. Using simple tools - mainly just a razor blade, he cuts out images and text from advertisements, recontextualising them into a new hybrid artwork. The pieces generally have a critical edge to them, making comments on the state of society and on the advertisements themselves. A manifesto from Poster Boy’s Flickr page: Eventually I will stop this art form. ...

Standing and waiting for a subway to come is an experience many of us can relate to. Not having a place to sit and rest in such urban areas is all to common of an experience. The Take A Seat project is a guerrilla initiative that remedy’s this lack of seating by rescuing old chairs and placing them on subway platforms for tired travelers. Such a cool and commendable thing to do. What else could ...
