Pipes!
Tim said it better than I could ever hope to…
I’m really proud that our team has launched Pipes tonight. It’s still raw with plenty of rough edges… and it’d surprise me if more than a few folks will be able to connect-the-dots and see where this leads (… though Tim’s explaining will surely help!) […]
MyBlogLog and Yahoo light up the blogosphere
Quentin was first and Chad gave the details here: we’ve acquired MyBlogLog!
I’m totally stoked about this. In describing MyBlogLog, Chad used an “audio analogy.” That definitely works, but I prefer the visual one: as powerful as blogging has been, we’ve been blogging “in the dark.” Being a blogger meant the […]
Yahoo buys Bix
I said it all over here.
So one thing to note… It turns out that the voice in my head does sound a lot better than the one that is being recorded. Something must be defective with the microphone, the Bix system, or whatever that keeps knocking it out of tune. Until I […]
Yahoo Open Hack Day: Hell Yes!
Well, that worked.
As has been widely reported around the blogosphere, this weekend we pulled off Yahoo’s first Open Hack Day.
The event was successful on so many levels it’s hard to convey the way I feel. I will leave it to Chad, who deserves the credit for the event, to offer the […]
It’ll be del.icio.us!
Del.icio.us is having its first birthday party (after three years.) It’ll be fun! Joshua and the gang will be there in force, and you can ask him what it feels like to be an MIT Technology Review Innovator! If he’s too busy, then you can ask Stewart!
I’ll be there too, basking in […]
Cool Flickr Geotagging Examples
Stewart recently showed me some very cool (and in some cases surprising) Flickr geotagging examples. Here’s a few I loved.
Where is the neighborhood in Manhattan known as Tribeca?
Get your kicks, on Route 66
Food tour of Asia
What I love about the “tribeca” and “route 66″ examples is that they show emergent knowledge in the system. […]
CapitalOne Summit
Had the pleasure of speaking today at a CapitalOne summit in DC.
Apart from the travel, I actually love doing these things. (I do wanna give JetBlue props though - pretty flawless service, and gotta love the TV. Watched the US Open while working.) Anyway, speaking with colleagues from Microsoft, […]
Interesting(ness) post from O’Reilly
Chad told me that Tim O’Reilly posted about interestingness today. I’ve been contemplating another post about interestingness for a while, and I was glad Tim beat me to the punch! Some of this I hope to discuss at the Adaptive Path UX conference Wednesday too.
I’ve been starting out most talks that I’ve given […]
Y! Answers: On-demand MicroBlogging
Welcome Wall Street Journal readers! Lee Gomes wrote up a nice Q&A with me today about the new “bubble”. Lee was gracious enough to include mentions of my dog Rashi and this blog, elatable. Thanks Lee!
I’ve been thinking (and talking) about Yahoo! Answers a lot recently. A huge congrats to Yumio, […]
Bug (and other) identification services
“Better Search through People” applied to image search? Or Yahoo! Visual Answers?
BoingBoing references a “bug identification service” called “What’s that bug?” that allows folks to send in photos of bugs for identification. (Looks like Yahoo featured this three years ago too…
Based on a cursory glance at the site, this isn’t exactly what I’d […]
