Reality check (two)
[Technology] @ 05:09 PM

  1. Deflating The Blog Bubble by Oliver Willis
  2. BloggerCon Part Two -- my essayish opinion by Elisabeth Riba
Though these post above tend to agree with my perception on the power of blogs, I am confused by them at a different level. Did these people see the writing on the wall only after forking $500 for BloggerCon? I mean, did they really believe in the "raising consciousness on a global scale" power of blogs before they went to BloggerCon and are now whinning because they did not get what they were promised - techno-social nirvana?

Innovation my foot
[Technology] @ 04:20 PM

Mark McLaughlin, Senior VP of VeriSign calls the introduction of SiteFinder innovation!
.. Internet itself, the infrastructure that serves as the foundation, has not significantly benefited from innovation. This is a significant test for the entire community because if the community can't find a way to introduce new services while reaching a resolution on technical matters that might arise, then the Internet infrastructure will never improve.


In retort, a comment at /. sums up the feeling on this side of the fence:

To call SiteFinder innovative is like cutting the wings off an airplane and saying that you've created an innovative new form of ground transportation.
