I don’t know much about browser proxy-ing technology (like the kind that anonymizes your data whilst you browse, a la anonymouse and others), but a few weeks ago when I was in class I could have used an attention proxy.
I had a fair amount of time to browse the ‘net while in class, but unfortunately [...]

This seems to be the big news of the day, Alexa has essentially popped open the doors on it’s data and is now allowing anyone willing to pay a fairly nominal fee to access the information from it’s crawls. The news is all over; a good starting point is here.
This is pretty exciting news [...]

I’ve been wondering if there’s value in an aggregated feed of blog posts and comments. Ideally a threaded one, where the comments followed along behind the post they related to - perhaps even as children - requiring prior art or a new namespace, I suspect.
Obviously on blogs with a ton of comments that would [...]

You know, I never thought I’d find myself in the position of defending Wikipedia - I’m a pretty light contributor there, and not what might be called a Wikipedian, but here’s Dave with more in his rant against Wikipedia:
“Now of course I want to know who said that. See the problem? Same set of facts, [...]

SuprGlu is a sort of a personality aggregator for the web published by Iridesco. If you wanted to collect all the information available by you or about you that you’re responsible for, SuprGlu’d be a place to do it.
The essential idea here is that you give SuprGlu a bunch of inputs of your data [...]

Michael Gartenberg:
“At the end of the day, it [Encyclopedia Britannica] provided something the Wikipedia sorely lacks, namely ethos. The reall [sic] story of the Wikipedia is why would anyone presume anything written in there is accurate? Where’s the accountablity? Well, there is none.”
I think this is reductive and inaccurate. It’s like saying that there’s [...]

I suspect most will have heard about Pandora; the company was reviewed by TechCrunch, and the free release was publicized there as well. I first heard about the idea on an NPR segment about Pandora’s parent, the Music Genome Project.
I don’t know what I can add to Michael’s original review at TechCrunch, but I [...]

Posting here from the OPML Editor obviously has it’s drawbacks, my previous post on Nick Bradbury’s attention proposal was in a draft state, at least in my mind.
I’ve taken it down until later today when I have a chance to complete it, but as commonly understood - there are no take backs on the web. [...]

Assuming that memeorandum provides value (and I think it does as a component of an overall view of the web, not as a sole view of the web), there’s an aspect of memeorandum that I find lacking, and that’s an addressable history. Gabe provides the ability to go and see what tech.memeorandum.com looked like [...]

UPDATE: Steve Jensen brings up a good point in his post - that all instances of user_login ($args[1]) and user_password ($ars[2]) need to be trimmed in order for other method calls (like “edit”) to succeed. xmlrpc.php.txt has been updated.
As long as you’re able to replace files on your WordPress install, my hack will fix [...]
