- Never MetaData I didn't Like
- As I indicated in the Podcasting conversation at BloggerCon, Gillmor Gang is moving away not toward transcripts. So in fact is Doug Kaye for all of his IT Conversations. Why? For the very reason that Dave Winer suggests: no skimming. Skimming got us the election from hell. Skimming reduces the...

- The AttentionTrust gang, led by Steve Gillmor, Seth Goldstein and Ed Batista, held court during a session at the Syndicate conference.

- Office Dead
- As Mike Vizard calls it at the end of today's AttentionTech with Barb Darrow, whether it's Office Live or Office Dead is for the jury, I mean the audience, to decide. That's because the reboot here is about the users being in charge. For me, the interesting things about yesterday's...
