Tom Coates digs up

Tom Coates digs up

some history and commentary on Permalinks and their creation: “At the time they were a tiny paradigm shift in a tiny community of committed web-weirdos. No one thought that they might be one of the fundamental structuring principles of half a million sites.”

Like most good Canadians,

June 10, 2003 by Michael Boyle

Like most good Canadians,

I love hockey. Like fewer people, but still a great many, I participate in both regular season and playoff hockey pools. In my case, I’ve been the organizer of my pool for a few years now. The service provider we use is called Officepools.com, and they have provided us with great service – rock-solidity and accuracy being the biggest factors – for just $20 for the whole group.

Last night, of course, was game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals, and New Jersey emerged as the winners over the Ducks of Anaheim. And the end of the season also brought the end-of season remarks from the owner of Officepools.com, entitled Brief History…. It may not be a blog, which a lot of people seem to be becoming quite fundamentalist about, but it is a great sign of a clue – something that is clearly evident throughout the season, from the personal replies to requests for support and the dozens of little things ways that the service has improved lately. Much larger businesses could learn a lot from this small, one-man show.

DaveNet from last week:

If you want to be in Google, you gotta be on the Web. It seems so obvious, it’s a shame that in 2003 someone has to point this out. But people persist in complaining that information that is not on the web should nevertheless be given priority in Google.

Michael Fraase

on Information Authority. “I believe the core question that any independent media organization has to answer with regard to the web is the value of being an information authority versus the value of revenue from a paid-content model. Is there a point – and if so what and where is that point – at which the value of being an information authority is greater than the revenue derived from the paid-content model?”
