I think we’re in a rut. A semantic, AJAX-powered, XML-based, open source rut. I have had a hard time getting excited about tech news of late, hence the last little while I haven’t been posting as much nor with as much passion as I have in the past.

One of the best results of Web 2.0, social media, and blogging isn’t the CBO (Chief Blogging Officer), but the Community Manager. A person who’s job isn’t to mollycoddle or placate people, but to listen and help users. Waterloo-based aideRSS, let us know that another community manager has joined the ranks:

This isn’t anything terribly new, but what is new is that the “team” is often spread out geographically. With ad-hoc teams and virtual teams, it is more and more crucial […]
Lots of buzz yesterday about the v.3 of Diigo, the social bookmarking service yesterday. As someone who only sorta uses del.icio.us I thought I’d just look and move on.

I attended the first mesh back in 2006 (still have the t-shirt too!), but missed last year’s mesh. I don’t think I’ll make the same mistake twice. The dates were announced on the mesh blog and on the blogs of the organizers Mark, Mathew, Rob, and Stuart. While the conference itself is sure to […]
