Universal server, narrow client 
You go girls!
| | Dig Blog Sisters, "where men can link, but they can't touch." |
Seems low to me
Just a question
| | Are there any nonstop flights from San Francisco or San Jose to Tampa? Can't seem to find any. Not urgent. |
Bad news
| | Nothing on the Reuters site about how they're laying off 200 people. But the site features banners pointing to their Olympics coverage (60 people on site, as we speak!). |
| | Context: The main sources of fill'er'up news for papers and broadcasters everywhere are Associated Press and Reuters. And they're shrinking away. |
New World at work
Just one explanation
| | John Ashcroft sings. (You've GOT to hear this. Really.) Thanks to B!X for the link. |
And now for somethingcompletelydifferent.com
| | I've got several domains coming up for renewal at $54.95 for 2 years. I'm willing if it's cheaper, but otherwise I'll let them go. Advice on alternate registrars? |
Matterings
It's the markets, stupid
| | Halley's comment on the Dvorak vs. Cluetrain case takes the same insightful angle on the thing that Jakob Nielsen took when he told me — ironically right after we had both been panelists on John Dvorak's TV show — that what the Cluetrain authors had done was "defect from marketing to side with markets." In retrospect that seemed obvious, but I had never heard it put that way before, and it knocked me out because that's exactly how it felt. Consider the first person plural voice here: |
| | That wasn't a flame. It was a statement of fact. |
| | And it was made against the market-blind ideas behind so many dot-com "businesses" that were never anything more than IPO projects. That's one big reason why Cluetrain came along when it did. |
| | Rather than give Supply one more pipe for pushing crap at Demand, it gave both Demand and Supply a place where everybody could talk about everything. Which is why we wrote "markets are getting smarter — and getting smarter faster than most companies." Blogs are one very efficient means for that. And dot-com crash was a highly dramatic effect. |
| | I invite John to take another look at where Cluetrain comes from, and who it really speaks for. I have a feeling his heart disagrees a lot less than his attitude. |
He's back!
| | After a long (too long) hiatus, Craig is back blogging again. And I'm back to flogging Eric Norlin, who is becoming ever-more-necessary reading for me. |
