I totally agree with Dave on this. I was thinking this the other day,when I saw it.

Though I don’t think that Go2Web20 claim to have all companies listed, as it appears to just be a hobby(ish) site, but some of the ‘companies’ listed? Are they ‘web2.0′?

AOL??? Cooome oon!? Eh?

Also I see more than one link to a ‘Crunch’site. Is a blog as web2.0 company? Hmmm? (though their job site thing *might* be worth it – but no way is it a ’2.0′ system)

THEIR APIS!

It’s funny seeing Dave’s mymoblog.wordpress.com posts.  The early posts look just like my bloghud.wordpress.com or bloghud.blogspot.com accounts

We developers like to talk to ourselves while testing (move long – nothing to see here

What other free blogging systems should I support? All of them. Including the pay ones. But if those people who run pay blogging systems (6apart etc.) want support, I’ll need a free acount (dev account) please. Thank you.

You know it’s worth it

I think this looks like a great product.

I hope it can read an RSS feed directly over that WiFi (like a PSP can)! So I can download podcasts too, over the connection (like PSP can).

As well as wifi connectivity (for download) the killer app, for me, would be the ability to record AND upload too. This could be based on something like Nokias old uploader api (which was very easy to implement in any scripting language). Or a simple/simplified ftp client.

If they (MS) offered storage too, along with their desktop client/shop/aggregator based on the account, then they would have it all wrapped up.

Location agnostic consuming and publishing – desktop or mobile device – listening, viewing, subscribing etc. All synced up the next time the device links to the desktop. Full of real statistics, linkage and relevance.

Bingo! You’d have it all.

THEN if your reading AND writing/publishing tools support the core content and organisation XML standards for podcasts of RSS and OPML, PLUS additional support for microformats such as FOAF etc AND OTHER community APIS (though this could be done by any developer community or group of widgetwelders)

If Microsoft did this, they would win – imho

By ‘closing the content loop’ (by effectively flipping one end and connecting it to the other) – publish to receive : AND discover/navigate : subscribe , it would be like APple where things ‘seem’ to be locked in, they wuold have the opportunity to turn the whole network inside out, exposing all the data needed – all the ‘neural’ connections – all the paths, all the people and all the content.

This would ‘connect’ the owners of such devices to eachother, creating the community feel, but also prove they are not going to create a ‘walled garden’ of content – for devices that don’t know (much) about anything else.

[given that i am talking about 'open' podcasts here - user generated (argh) - as opposed to music/video/protected shopping/purchases with their own DRM.]

You don’t have to be able to read the ZUNESTONES to see it. Do you?

ps: When are Google or Yahoo! going to produce a device? They should!

pps: people who know me personally, will know that I am a huge love love and passionate user of gadgets. I have been on this crusade for a while.

Recently, I decided to it was high time I had a look at Google AdSense. Having never placed advertising on a website before, it was kind of weird, but the Google interface and instructions were very easy to follow.

I have put it on my Second Life blogging system pages at bloghud.com

But, while looking over their system today, I decided to have a look at their AdSense policies page and was rather surprised to see this entry:

“Copyrighted Material

In order to avoid associations with copyright claims, website publishers may not display Google ads on web pages with MP3, Video, News Groups, and Image Results.”

Whaaaa? I’m pretty sure I have seen loads of sites for AV with Google ads on them.

Does anyone out there know more about this? Have I misread it, or are all these people breaking the policy?

Last night, an avatar called Miller Copeland came over to ‘The RSS Platform‘ on Second Life to interview me about the blogHUD for his new magazine about Second Life called IN THE GRID!

We had a great long chat about stuff, which you can read over here.

Miller has been a publishing industry veteran for 15 years, so it will be really interesting to see how this new publication comes together.

Thanks man!!(or woman?!?) lol.
