ZDNet introduces Doc The DocuMentor, sponsored by RICOH. Through his blog, Doc will educate you about Document Management. So who is Doc? Doc is something of an enigma. He was born to a Russian ballerina and a German electrical engineer who some believe was running covert operations for shadowy corporate...
Now that BloggerCon is over, I'm going to start releasing some of the backlog of Attention Deficit Theatre and Gillmor Gangs that have built up. Those who, like me, stayed in bed this morning and listened to the ConCast were treated to a remarkable string of interesting stuff, none of...
Recorded an Attention Deficit Theatre today, and with just a few minutes to go, Doc and I noticed that what had actually occurred was a Gillmor Gang. So I'll mix this one and skip over last week's show with Hugh MacLeod to run this one this weekend. That makes 2...
First Dave Winer highlights the one sentence in this blog that actually seemed to sound positive. You know, the angry old man, etc. Then a spate of crap from the trolls highlighted by one Paul Montgomery, a Down Under journalist his word who slimes all US journalists on his way...
Last Friday Doc Searls called to order another caucus of the Identity Gang on the last Gillmor Gang of '05, reprising the original gathering on New Year's Eve '04. As Doc notes in his ghosted shownotes, there was some interesting news about progress. In a conversation where time seems to...
Good grief. My friend Doc Searls has reacted big time to my suggestion that links are dead. OK, I was going to sugercoat it but if you insist....Doc, last in first out. Links have leverage, attention doesn't? Well, every singloe new search play leverages attention characteristics-- Sphere, Memorandum, Attensa, Google...
Jon Udell called today to say he's going on vacation. Of course, he's actually going to remain at home in his bedroom with a shotgun in case somebody reads this (not likely according to the Feedster 500) and decides to take advantage of his absence to steal the plans for...
I spent a lazy Sunday editing and balancing the Gillmor Gang episode recorded Friday a week ago. Joining the Gang is Seth Goldstein, entrepreneur and co-founder of the AttentionTrust. Those of you who've asked for more detail will find it here. We've begun approving applications and issuing badges to those...
Doc replies on IT Garage...Steve Gillmor takes issue with the preceding post, Why we need an iPod competitor. To say the least. So I'll anwer him, point by point...and I anwer him back...My point is that Apple will have all the fun, because they have theright mix of...
Microsoft is fighting on multiple fronts in its 100-year technology war. Acknowledged, Microsoft has notched just 35 years, but the company is good for another 65 if it can recruit a few more generations of Bill Gates generals to lead the charge. And make no mistake, dominating markets is what...
In the event that Microsoft ends up with Yahoo, which I view as likely, what happens to the Yahoo brand and properties. The back end, infrastructure and engineering issues can be sorted out, although nothing will be easy. Pooling engineering talent, data centers, search, ad systems, etc. can be a...
Robert Scoble spent the last week giving his new Amazon Kindle ebook reader a test drive, reading a couple of books and declaring the progeny of Jeff Bezos a failure. He thinks the usability and user interface suck and it lack features such as a touch screen, social networking and...
Jason Calacanis is blogging about the latest debut of The Gang, aka Gillmor Group, aka Bad Sinatra, aka Gillmor Gang. The first episode is on Facebook, in four parts. I was happy to be a part of this, nearly a year since the last real Gang recording. ...
My friend Steve Gillmor has been bloviating about the death of bloated Microsoft Office for years. Google's cloud-based apps are poised to put a stake in the heart of Microsoft's Office business, which accounted for the majority $16.37 billion in revenue for Microsoft Business Division in the fiscal year ending...
My friend Steve Gillmor buries the Gillmor Gang and resurfaces with "Bad Sinatra," his own version of Silicon Valley cinema verite, in which I play myself, accompanied by other cast members, including Doc Searls, Mike Arrington, Marc Benioff and Robert Scoble. "Bad Sinatra" is vintage Gillmor, with debate, argument, randomness,...
I had the pleasure to participate yesterday in a roundtable podcast modeled after the late, great Gillmor Gang. Jason Calacanis was the host in Steve Gillmors (temporary?) absence in this "beta" CalacanisCast "not Gillmor Gang" production on PodTech.net.Jason is actively entrepreneurial at Sequoia (and wont say much about what hes...
A Hamburger TodayEmail me your ppt or KN, and I'll spruce it upI've looked at RoML's Keynote, Doc's and Hardt's. They're not you - at all. You need to come up with your own presentation style. I don't buy Doc's Powerpoint enthusiam. Maybe you can do what you need to...
Mike Arrington of TechCrunch led the penultimate BloggerCon IV session on the topic of core values for bloggers (and podcasters + vloggers). The Doc Searls Docnography notes from the session are here, and the downloadable podcast is here.Mike started off the session with the statement that the blogosphere doesn't have...
Niall Kennedy led a BloggerCon discussion on standards for users, which he described as follows on his site: In the online world we rely on a few standards to make life easy for users. The W3C activity around HTML provides a common base for implementors and authors. We still have...
The last few days have seen a real ramp up of attention/gesture stuff. The combination of Bloggercon and Supernova this week and Gnomedex next week have brought many of the constituents of the so-called Attention Economy into view. One of the incipient players--Jellyfish--are embargoing their story until Monday to take...
After working on a social network analytics system for two years, here are some initial thoughts on the meaning and value of the many economies proposed as foundations for measuring social networks. My contention: Influence, the conversion of one's basic ability to attend to and convert the raw material...
