Jeffrey Veen:

Jeffrey Veen:

Will you be my friend? Trying to tease something out of the void that the social networking sites have become. So far it seems that the folks at Flickr are the only ones who have a clue. The rest of them – Tribe, LinkedIn, Friendster, Orkut – seem to have a classic case of high-ego startup syndrome, suggesting that they actually believe they’re smarter than everyone else and can actually do it all themselves with limited if any interoperability. I hope to be proven wrong.

Mena’s Corner. “I’ve always advocated personal voice as the strongest asset of a weblog. In the past year, Six Apart has lost its public voice.” The first post is called, “Where did those 22 other people come from?” and addresses the fact that the company behind Movable Type, TypePad, and now TypeKey had become a shadowy entity, with few people aware had several employees and such.

Spring is springing

March 29, 2004 by Michael Boyle

Spring is springing

and thoughts have turned to growing things. Last year we were just thinking about moving and stuff. Now that we’ve been in our house for almost a year, I’m going to start considering two major projects: re-doing the back yard and building some sort of garden on our upstairs balcony. Meg Hourihan posted a book recommendation yesterday that will help me with upstairs, where I want to plant herbs and maybe a few tomato plants. Any other recommendations will be greatly appreciated!
